Stars Align at Vogue’s Vintage Market for a Meaningful Cause
The Vogue Vintage Market has quickly become one of the most talked-about fashion events of the year, where style meets philanthropy. This year, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Emma Chamberlain, and Cynthia Erivo brought their A-game not only to shop but to support a noble cause.
The Excitement Begins
Just moments into the much-anticipated event, a fashion gem was sold—a stunning blue-and-white floral John Galliano slip dress once graced by Anna Wintour at the iconic 1996 Met Gala. Who snagged this incredible piece? None other than the event's host, Gigi Hadid herself! "I don’t know how this all happened, but I chose three pieces I didn’t realize were once Anna’s," Hadid exclaimed as she stood in line at Roll & Hill in SoHo.
A Star-Studded Shopping Experience
The buzz was palpable as friends of Vogue flooded in an hour before the sale officially kicked off. Hadid’s joyful reunions included a spirited greeting with Cynthia Erivo, followed by delightful photo snaps. Meanwhile, Chase Sui Wonders and her sister Jeannie browsed through exquisite Chanel tweed jackets—a timeless find that many dream of adding to their wardrobes.
On the second floor of the venue, Emma Chamberlain humorously shared her insights on fashion and size, playfully draping a pair of pinstripe pants around her neck.
Fashion with a Purpose
Gigi Hadid admitted that shopping isn’t her usual pastime, but she made an exception for the Vogue Vintage Market, stating, “To be able to do this to raise money and get special pieces feels really good.” With 100% of the proceeds benefiting victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, this event perfectly blended style with meaningful impact. Attendees had the unique opportunity to shop for pieces from the wardrobes of fashion icons like Kendall Jenner, Cindy Crawford, and Katie Holmes. Additionally, items were hand-selected from eBay by an array of celebrities, including Hadid, Chamberlain, Anok Yai, Kaia Gerber, and Paloma Elsesser.
A Fashionable Exit
As the event came to a close, Gigi Hadid made a small spectacle while checking out, playfully slipping on Wintour’s brown Schiaparelli robe coat over her sunny yellow polka-dot top and jeans. "I’m trying to bargain with her," she joked, showcasing the light-hearted spirit of the day.
But she wasn’t the only one leaving with fabulous finds; Priscilla Yael of Pechuga Vintage strutted around the store flaunting a pair of Marc Jacobs Kiki boots, personally donated by the designer. Meanwhile, Irene Kim, an editorial associate from Vogue Runway, made a stylish exit in a whole new outfit.
Conclusion
The Vogue Vintage Market serves as a shining example of how fashion can play a pivotal role in addressing real-world issues. With star-studded participation and an overwhelming sense of community, this event has set a benchmark for future charitable initiatives in the fashion world. When fashion meets philanthropy, miracles can happen—whether that’s in the form of iconic garments or generous donations to those in need.
