OUR STORY
Fast fashion may be disposable — but true style isn’t. I source one-of-a-kind pieces from private collections, vintage finds, and unique thrift rescues, giving them new life through rework and storytelling. Every item here was chosen with care and preserved for those who see beauty in individuality. Together, we’re slowing fashion down and bringing meaning back to what we wear.
Hi, I’m Kristin — the creator, collector, and daydreamer behind Second Story Studio.
What started as rescuing forgotten pieces from thrift shops turned into a full-blown mission to rewrite their stories. I hunt for the weird, the nostalgic, and the one-of-a-kind: vintage finds, alt fashion staples, and pop-culture gems inspired by the worlds we geek out over. From reworked clothing and handmade corsets to collectible garments — everything here has a past worth telling.
Each item comes with information about where it originated or was found, because I believe the story behind a garment is just as important as the style itself. Nothing here is mass-produced; it’s all rescued, reimagined, and made to live a second story — with you as the main character.
If you love bold pieces, fandom nods, or clothes that feel like wearable art, welcome home.
