On today’s show, we’re chatting with Lauren Lepire, the founder of Timeless Vixen, a high-end vintage clothing boutique located in Beverly Hills with a focus on iconic, rare, and important pieces of fashion. We’re talking museum quality antiques, rare designer dresses, true haute couture spanning from the Victorian era to modern day. Lauren’s vintage gems have appeared on fashion icons from Kate Moss, to Dita Von Teese, they’ve been in big Hollywood movie productions and they’ve even been acquired by museum archives around the globe. 

We chat about fashion houses such as Chanel, Christian Dior, and Valentino who work regularly with her to purchase their original designs to further complete their archives, her first pinch me moment celebrity placements, and what it’s like to see her vintage on the big screen.
