A stylist’s guide to mixing vintage and modern fashion finds

When I go to the shows for New York Fashion Week, I am usually loaned pieces to wear but I always try to inject a bit of my own personality and wear something that is secondhand – that way, it adds more dimension and uniqueness to the loaned items. For one show, I layered a pre-loved Celine coat onto my outfit and for another, I added a vintage men’s necktie to bring the look together.

This season I focused a lot on jewellery. I wore a vintage statement necklace layered over a long slinky green dress to the Sergio Hudson show and the following day, I wore the same vintage necklace but layered on top of another vintage one for a different show.
