Vestiaire Collective collaborates with Byronesque to reveal rare archive capsule collection. Inspired by a shared ethos to modernise the perception of vintage clothing and drive reuse in fashion, Vestiaire Collective and Byronesque are partnering to bring Vestiaire’s global community an edit of exceptional rare archive pieces, curated exclusively by Byronesque. Celebrating some of fashion’s most influential designers, the digital pop up will offer 200 one-off pieces, from an era when designers broke the rules and reinvented the fashion industry.

More relevant today than ever before, Byronesque’s edit pays homage to some of the most iconic moments in fashion history, from Punk to the mid 2000’s - each piece telling a story beyond the boundaries of fashion. The collaboration marks the launch of the Archive Series on Vestiaire Collective, which will focus on showcasing unique vintage collections. Demonstrating Byronesque’s eye for looking beyond obvious vintage trends and sourcing the unobtainable, the collection will include seminal pieces from Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, Maison Martin Margiela and Helmut Lang et al, but also hard to find and unexpected pieces from Jeremy Scott, Ghesquiere’s Balenciaga and Sex and Seditionaires pieces authenticated by the Westwood company.

Key pieces include the iconic Vintage Maison Martin Margiela Semi-Couture dressmakers bodice apron, from his 1997 collection, one of Jean Paul Gaultier lesser known belted trench coats from 1998, and the Comme Des Garcons show robe from 1986, which became a cult inspiration in the 1980's when Rei Kawakubo took the idea of the atelier lab coat and made it hers. Also key in the collection, there is Jeremy Scott’s logo trench and bomber, now the height of contemporary-vintage fashion, and the Maison Martin Margiela “Fragile” bag from S/S 2006, where Margiela questioned the fragility of fashion.
