It’s been a process of me collecting pieces for years, that all fit me or anything like that.Ī: Where do you keep all of these pieces? Some stuff I got abroad and brought back, from London, and a lot of old family pieces I’ve collected. A lot of my friends from home donate really beautiful pieces that they don’t have space for in their closets anymore. I did a trip there over the summer, which was so much fun. A lot of the stuff is from vintage shops across the Midwest. VK: A lot of the stuff I’ve been collecting from my mom for years and years, since she’s a huge fashion junkie. ![]() Every single piece I’ve picked out myself, and would wear myself, and adore, so it’s really cool to see people wearing them around campus. We’ve seen a lot of people buy a lot of things at once, which is really exciting, and transitioning from seasons being able to price really warm jackets really well, and see people stock up and bring themselves into the next season has also been really special. I love not having to go off campus to look for stuff. Being able to walk through Usdan and find stuff has been really great for people, and it’s something that I know I love, like when I walk through clothing being sold at Usdan, I love that.

I’ve been collecting pieces since I got back from abroad last fall, but I started selling this year at Wesleyan in the fall. ![]() I’m obsessed with clothing and styling, so I just kind of wanted to bring that to campus and share it with people, and price it at a point where everyone could participate in both being sustainable and feeling stylish and beautiful. I feel like when I think of sustainable clothing options now, they are always really expensive, and there is a lot of online shopping at Wesleyan that accumulates a lot of waste. We fix up and re-sell at a really affordable price, to really focus on a sustainable clothing option that is also affordable for people at Wesleyan. Vienna Kaylan: I have a business called You and Ayla, which is a vintage clothing company of pieces that I’ve sourced and collected from across the U.S.
