Sales associate, Bushwick
Buy anything today?
I couldn’t shop because it made me overwhelmed. Like, Oh my God, there’s too many clothes. I need things to be organized, categorized by color and size. I’m not someone who likes to sift through to find stuff. If it’s not happening right away, then I’m out.
Then what brought you here in the first place?
I’m new to the city. I wanted to meet cool people, and I feel like this is where you’re going to see the people with the most style. It’s fun seeing people and being like, “I know you want someone to say your outfit is fire, which it is.” Also, it’s a good networking event. I asked a few people where they got their
stuff or where they got their hair done.
And what’d they say?
Every time I ask someone where they get their hair done, their nails done, their teeth jewelry, it’s always the Bronx. I’m like, “Ah, I’m not close, but okay.”

How would you describe your personal style?
It’s very much influenced by old-school New York and different types of male archetypes. I’m trans, and clothing has definitely given me a way to find a vision of who I want to be and embody and what type of man I want to be in the world.

Communications manager, Upper East Side
Have you lived in New York long?
In August, it’ll be ten years. Everyone says that’s when you’re a real New Yorker. And I do feel like one. When I walk around any borough, I have so many memories attached to different places. But I’ll let the native New Yorkers decide if I can claim that title.

I see you sell vintage soccer jerseys.
A lot of them went today. Every time somebody buys one, I give them the history of it, which turns into a conversation about soccer, which I’m a fanatic about. I’m a diehard AC Milan fan, and my favorite player is Andrea Pirlo. I have a lot of their jerseys, but I never sell them. When I find Milan, I just stash it.

How did you get into reselling?
I was working as a store manager at Brandy Melville, and, transparently, they don’t pay well. I remember comparing my paychecks from July 2020, and in a month I made $3,000 at Brandy and $11,000 off Depop. I was like, I’m going to quit and see how this Depop thing does, and worst case I go back to Brandy, which didn’t happen.

Meet anyone interesting today?
This person came up to me saying he liked my style, and he ended up being really cool. He is an artist and got a degree in industrial design and mechanical engineering. He showed me a bunch of art he designed. He actually created a drone for the U.N. I think we’re going to hang out later this week at a jazz bar.
