On a rainy Sunday afternoon in July, 150-odd fashion enthusiasts formed a line around a block in Tribeca for the chance to shop the hand-me-downs of a group of former Vogue editors. The closet sale was curated by Liana Satenstein, the host of Neverworns: a series of blink-or-you’ll-miss-them closet sales featuring New York’s fashion set.
Once shoppers make it inside, racks of hundreds of pre-owned garments and accessories are at their disposal, curated by Satenstein herself. There, she works the crowd — hand-selling pieces, narrating where each garment came from and why it matters, and greeting customers by name when she can.
