Maybe they could pull more from designer archives and showcase pieces from older collections? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I always wonder why they don't do this. If I were a celeb this is something I would do. So many great looks that haven't been seen on redcarpets/awardshows.

relationships between the stylists, the celeb, and the fashion house have to be strong. the bigger a celeb is the more likely they’re able to pull an archive piece (Margot Robbie was a Chanel girl so she pulled some pieces for Barbie, Olivia Rodrigo’s worn YSL a lot so she got an archival piece, Gaga and that honking Tiffany diamond at the Oscars a few years back).

I sometimes like to fantasise how if I were a celeb I'd be begging my stylist to dress me in archival Gaultier, McQueen, etc -- I have so many runway lewks from the 2000s-2010s saved in a folder on my harddrive that deserve to be redebuted on the red carpet. 🥲

That's what I was coming in here to say. If I were a stylist, I'd be pulling older pieces, like designs from an era a fashion house is really known for or something like that. It would give extra press to the celebrity just for that alone.

There's also several rental showrooms that specifically cater to having vintage archival pieces. Of course you actually have to pay for those instead of receiving a loan from a brand but, eh.

some stylists have definitely been doing this and also have been getting custom pieces (emma stone because she reps LV and margot robbie's red balmain are two recent ones that come to mind)
