The website Resee is a new take on the mixing of a magazine style with a vintage clothing online retailer. Sofia Bernardin of Chinese and Japanese Vogue and Sabrina Marshall of Self Service magazine were the creators of this refreshingly original idea.
“We found that there was no place to find great pieces,”
said Bernardin. “I think you have a lot of Web sites out there right now that
are focused either on purely vintage, or you have sites that are doing eBay
style selling of second-hand clothes. And there was none we found that
elegantly merged the two.”
The site features designer clothing, handbags, and shoes
that are so relevant to today’s trends that it takes a second look to remember
that they are vintage and second hand. Pieces featured on the website have been
purchased from private collections as well as vintage stores. The display of
the site is an art form itself, allowing you to filter selections by color and
themes such as “Androgynous” and “Parisienne.”
There are images of the products similar to those that would
be found on any retail website as well as editorial style photos that display
the products on models and mixed into interesting backgrounds. The Find
features special products and changes weekly; this week is an amazing vintage
1970s Saint Laurent cape. If you check out the website, also be sure to look at
the inspiration page- currently showing images and product inspired by 1990s
Miu Miu.
