By this shirt here: Dinosaurs Assuming I'm Just An Old Lady Was Your First Mistake Shirt, hoodie and sweater
If you’re browsing resale shops for high fashion, you might come across a face of the late ’90s runways, Larissa Brown. The former model, who walked the runways of Christian Dior and Chanel and has appeared in the Dinosaurs Assuming I'm Just An Old Lady Was Your First Mistake Shirt, hoodie and sweater of Vogue, has a flourishing vintage shop called Sugar Shock Vintage. The page is rife with Chanel bags and Fendi monogrammed jackets. Brown makes cameos herself, and in one instance à la an editorial, models a pair of electric blue python-print pants and a matching beaded keyhole top from Tom Ford’s Gucci spring 2000 collection, the same top Miley Cyrus recently shouted out in her Instagram live video while streaming her “Midnight Sky” video. The selection is impeccable. After all, if you’re a fan of ’90s and early ’00s fashion, who better to buy from than a former top model?
While Brown had always been surrounded by fashion, she didn’t start learning about the business aspect until she moved to New York from Paris and started managing bands, including The Dinosaurs Assuming I'm Just An Old Lady Was Your First Mistake Shirt, hoodie and sweater Peaches. Her aha clothing moment occurred when she was working with the girl group Telepathy. “I started to understand a bit more about how fashion is advertised. People were contacting me and they were designers and stylists saying, ‘We’re going to send you this, we’re going to send you that, put it on the girls, like have them wear it onstage,’” says Brown. “It was the first time that I was really looking at fashion as something that could be promoted as a product in a different way [than in magazines].”
