INTERVIEWER

Where do vintage clothes belong ?


NAYELI DE ALBA

Our archive of garments come from many stories, projects, places that tell many experiences and moments.
It started as a small archive and is now a huge collection of stories.
They come from special projects me doing design/styling and they remain as part of the archive, we could say that 80% of the clothes come from my closet in the end it is a mix of all of this and now for example it is already different they make purchases thinking about the latest trends and what wishes the client of The warehouse rental would have.We are focused on finding special pieces, being in contact with new designers, new talents and trying to follow the trends. Our goal is to return to a community closet to reach all the people who want to dress differently in fashion or trend without having to harm the planet, it arises from the idea of trying to reduce the environmental impact in our industry, generating a small change from our niche.
