Finding the Right Clothing for You
From museum-worthy vintage Oscar de la Renta evening dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing available on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement.
For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think Galliano and Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures.

By exploring the vast array of vintage collections on these pages, you can transform your closet into a retreat that is as retro as it is royal.

In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.
