First Look

Frequently asked questions

How often does First Look update?

There's no fixed schedule. New pieces appear as they're sourced and authenticated, and once something sells it's removed rather than restocked, so First Look can look different from one visit to the next.

Are the designers and pieces shown here permanent?

No. What's featured reflects recent sourcing, not a standing lineup, so the mix of designers, eras, and garment types will change over time as new archival pieces come through and current ones sell.

What happens to pieces after they sell?

Sold pieces move out of First Look and into our Sold Archive, where they remain visible as a reference for collectors and researchers, though they're no longer available for purchase.

Can I ask about a specific designer or era for future First Look additions?

Yes. Submit a request through our Sourcing Requests page describing the designer, era, or piece you're after, and we'll factor it into future sourcing, though we can't guarantee a timeline or an exact match.
