What happens when Vogue picks up the phone and asks its friends—designers, models, and people with seriously good taste—to clean out their closets? You get the Vogue Vintage Market, an in-person, one-day-only shopping event packed with archival gems, runway relics, and one-off pieces that come with stories worth telling. Plus, there’s a seriously covetable selection of items sourced from eBay—and don’t forget, the event (on Saturday, March 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Roll & Hill) is open to the public with RSVP and donation in the Vogue app, with 100% of proceeds supporting those impacted by the recent Los Angeles fires.
Among the standouts: Kendall Jenner’s 2004 micro mini and matching fanny pack from a cult-favorite Dior collection, one of several pieces she donated. There’s also a slinky Galliano slip dress (the same style Anna Wintour wore to the 1996 Met Gala), generously offered up by Emily Rockefeller. Supermodel Karen Elson is parting ways with a lavender 2010 Givenchy top, gifted to her by Riccardo Tisci himself. And don’t miss the sparkly Alice + Olivia dress Taylor Swift wore when she was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011.
And that’s just a taste of what’s in store. Each piece at the Vogue Vintage Market comes with a backstory—whether it’s been plucked from the runway, worn by a cultural icon, or handpicked by one of Vogue’s closest friends. Spend the afternoon flipping through the racks, discovering hidden gems, and walking away with a piece of fashion history (or two). Below, a sneak peek at some of our favorite finds.

Kendall Jenner’s Dior 2004 Skirt and Fanny Pack
Kendall Jenner’s donation—a Dior micro mini logo skirt and coordinating fanny pack—packs a double punch of fashion history. Both pieces hail from the house’s 2004 “Rasta” capsule collection, a provocative and instantly recognizable drop that channeled green, yellow and red colors and spirit into the glossy world of Y2K-era Dior. Photographed memorably on Gisele Bündchen by Nick Knight, the collection became emblematic of early-aughts excess and the bold, if controversial, cultural mashups of John Galliano’s Dior reign. Add to that the Jenner provenance, and you’ve got a slice of fashion lore ready for a new home.

Karen Elson’s Pre-Fall 2010 Givenchy Blouse
From Karen Elson’s closet comes this sheer lavender blouse, a prime example of Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy in its cool-girl prime. Designed for the house’s pre-fall 2011 collection, the top reflects the era when Tisci’s darkly romantic aesthetic was everywhere. “This was during Riccardo Tisci’s tenure at Givenchy, occasionally he would gift the models with a piece or two after a show and I was the lucky recipient of the blouse,” Elson shares. “I wore it to a few parties over the years but sadly it’s been hung in closet for way too long and I felt like it needed another lease of life by someone who would be as excited as I was when I received the piece!”

Alice + Olivia’s 2011 Tallulah Princess Dress (as Seen on Taylor Swift)
This metallic beaded and sequined ‘Tallulah Princess Dress’ by Alice + Olivia has bona fide pop royalty credentials—it was worn by none other than Taylor Swift to the 41st Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in 2011. The strapless, sequin-strewn number perfectly captured Swift’s early-2010s “princess” aesthetic, back when she was cementing her status as both a country darling and a red carpet style star. Equal parts sparkle and significance, it’s a chance to own a piece of Swiftian fashion history.

Cindy Crawford’s Spring 2005 Dior Tank
Straight from Cindy Crawford’s closet, this “Dior Not War” tank top from the brand’s spring 2005 collection is peak Y2K fashion with a message. Designed by John Galliano, the mint-green version was look 64 on the runway, part of a collection that saw Galliano pivot toward more wearable, pop culture-infused pieces—think logo tees and bouclé suits. Crawford gave the top its red carpet moment at the Mr. & Mrs. Smith premiere in 2005, cementing it as both a supermodel staple and a snapshot of mid-2000s fashion’s cheeky, slogan-loving era. Now, it’s ready for a new rebel.

Lauren Santo Domingo’s Resort 2010 Prada Dress
Few dresses can claim to have sparked an entire business model, but this mixed-patterned Prada number from the brand’s 2010 resort collection did just that. It was the piece that inspired Lauren Santo Domingo—whose closet is the stuff of fashion fantasy—to launch Moda Operandi’s now-famous trunk shows, allowing shoppers to buy looks straight off the runway. After spotting the dress, Santo Domingo tracked it down immediately, realizing she couldn’t be the only one craving that instant access. Now, it’s your turn to make it yours.

Loewe’s Fall 2023 Silk Dress
A future heirloom if there ever was one, this white silk Loewe dress opened Jonathan Anderson’s Fall 2023 collection—and quickly earned its place in the fashion canon. Woven with a hazy, blurred floral motif, it struck a delicate balance between artistry and wearability, so much so that it was featured in last year’s Met Costume Institute exhibition Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. Not quite vintage, but already museum-worthy, this is the kind of piece serious collectors dream about. Donated by Loewe.

Versace’s Spring 2002 Daisy Print Skirt
This stretch mini skirt from Versace’s spring 2002 collection is a punchy ode to Y2K maximalism, splashed with the collection’s signature cartoonish daisy print. Donatella Versace dialed up the pop-art energy that season, sending models down the runway in bold florals that felt straight out of a Warhol canvas, filtered through a mod-meets-early-2000s lens. Playful, unapologetically loud, and pure Versace, this skirt captures an era when more was more—and makes a statement that still hits today. Donated by Alexandra Longanecker.

Emily Rockefeller’s Galliano 1996 Dress
A master of the slinky bias cut, John Galliano delivered one of his signatures with this blue and white floral slip dress, featuring delicate spaghetti straps and ethereal sprays of flowers. Plus, the dress carries extra fashion pedigree: a near-identical version was worn by Anna Wintour to the 1996 Met Gala, held in homage to Christian Dior. It’s a quintessential example of Galliano’s romantic yet razor-sharp design sensibility—a piece that bridges red carpet history and enduring elegance. Donated by Emily Rockefeller.
