On my radar: Reluxe x Madewell

Reluxe x Madewell

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Reluxe founder Clare Richardson briefly at a Reluxe x Sana Jardin breakfast event in the Reluxe store. Clare is better known to me through her styling work for publications including Vogue, Holiday and Wall Street Journal magazine, very much in the ‘gentlewoman style’ vein of classic but sexy dressing.

During her talk, Clare made the point that women founders are natural multi-hyphenates, which suits her as a freelance stylist but also explains her segue into founding a luxury resale business. She has smartly chosen to use her top tier fashion industry contacts to foster collabs with relevant brands, the latest being Madewell. From today, Madewell* will be selling her pre-loved edit of classic luxury pieces – think Nili Lotan, old Celine, Yves Saint Laurent – alongside pre-loved Madewell in Madewell stores (plus a few pieces online – above).

Mel by Re/Done jeans Mel Ottenberg
In other pre-loved news, I was today years old when I found out that denim upcycler Re/Done now has a vintage section* (aka ‘marketplace’) on its site. It’s very good and very expensive – sob. Interview magazine’s Mel Ottenberg has joined forces with Re/Done to create a jean based on 80s straight-led Levi’s 505s (above). The Mel by Re/Done collection is available at Re/Done* as well as Shopbop, Saks, Bloomingdales*and Ssense*. But if you want OG 505s, you can find some vintage versions in the Re/Done marketplace especially sourced for the collaboration. Read more here.
