This is the space where we talk about all things vintage, secondhand and pre-loved across the fashion space! And for new listeners, or longtime pals, to follow along with all things thrift, vintage, rad, retro, and sustainable, you can find me Emily Stochl, across the internet as @emilymstochl. Come hang out I'd love to chat with you!

On today's show, we're chatting with Brie, the founder of Very Breezy, a luxury vintage fashion studio in New York. Brie is a lifelong collector of vintage, who spent her fashion industry career in the editorial world at Vogue magazine and Harper's Bazaar, and leading digital strategy for luxury accessory brands, before returning to her first love: vintage.

Now, Very Breezy is a collection of luxury fashion, jewelry, and accessories, with a special focus on vintage bridalwear – and the pieces for every occasion during the bridal season of someone's life.

From her teenage years tracking down Blair Waldorf's onscreen looks to curating incredible vintage bridal collections, Brie shares her journey to vintage business owner on today's show. It's a really fun one, and I think you're gonna love it, so – let's dive right in!
