What\u2019s old is new again! <\/span>Gianna Corvino<\/a>, founder of <\/span>The NY Archive<\/a>, the vintage destination adored by stars including <\/span>Sabrina Carpenter, <\/span>Hailey Bieber, <\/span>Tate McRae, <\/span>Ariana Grande, <\/span>Lily Allen, <\/span>Elizabeth Hurley, and <\/span>Anne Hathaway, is giving summer style a nostalgic update.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for sourcing archival pieces for celebs and insiders alike, Corvino is expanding her once appointment-only showroom into a fashion warehouse designed to bring her finds and new brands together on May 31 in New York City.<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span>The NY Archive Collective<\/a> really feels like the culmination of years of world-building,” she tells ET.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I wanted to create a permanent space where your childhood Barbie dream house meets your grown-up <\/span>Sex and the City<\/em> fantasy. From the zebra couches to the pink shelving lined with archival designer shoes and bags, every detail is intentional,” the entrepreneur adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe still dominates mood boards, Corvino’s storefront will feature a rotating selection of curated vendors, allowing shoppers to easily mix trends from the past and present.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Collective allows us to create an entire fashion ecosystem,” she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a place where people can complete the outfit, whether it’s with jewelry, shoes, bags, vintage slips, contemporary pieces, 1930s blouses, or Y2K skirts.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For summer 2026, the New York native already knows which staples shoppers should be hunting for.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m obsessed with slips from the ’30s through the ’60s, wrap skirts, terry cloth looks, capris, sequins, and beading for this summer,” she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

“People want to sparkle again in pieces that feel individual and glamorous.”<\/span><\/p>\n

And when it comes to getting dressed, Corvino has the perfect recipe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Getting dressed should feel like making a sandwich. Keep one layer simple and classic and then add something outrageous or unexpected,” she advises.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The magic happens when you mix timeless basics with pieces that carry personality and history. If everything is archival and statement-making all at once, it can start to feel costume-y,” she continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her go-to combination: “Vintage denim, a white tank top, a vintage jacket, a mini bag and very broken-in Chanel ballet flats.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m deeply sentimental, so even the imperfections become part of the story for me. The more memories attached to a piece, the more meaningful it becomes,” she notes.<\/span><\/p>\n
