{"title":"First Look","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst Look is where new vintage and archival fashion surfaces first, before it's sorted into our broader category collections. Rather than a static edit, this space rotates continuously: as pieces are sourced, authenticated, and listed, they appear here, and as they sell, they move out. Checking back regularly, rather than once, is the best way to see what's actually new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecent additions have included Chloé dresses, tops, and skirts from the label's late-1990s and 2000 runway era, alongside a Versace SS1999 floral trouser. These are representative of the kind of finds that move through First Look, not a fixed or permanent lineup, and neither designer nor era is guaranteed to be represented here at any given moment. What's listed reflects recent sourcing rather than an ongoing stocked assortment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause every piece is one-of-a-kind, availability shifts constantly and nothing here is held or restocked once sold.
