Stars are ditching designers for thrift store scores when theyre wearing anything at all

Academy Awards time’s coming, so fashion stylist Benjamin Holtrop told me where some glamorous shmattas come from: “Fittings can take two hours.I start two weeks before an event, see how they feel, what they want to wear.

Often they can keep it afterward, but mostly it goes right back to the designer.“Once in the beginning an actress pulled me aside and said, ‘You need advice.’ She required specific underwear which I hadn’t thought to provide.“I now use this app called Mercari.It’s Japanese with lots of vintage.
