Ever wanted to raid a celebrity’s closet?
Does the idea of riffling through Kate Moss’s hand-me-downs thrill?
Then hit Transfer International. Owned by Alessandro Mitrotti, the boutique sells new and used designer clothing (in mint condition), without the hefty prices.
A brand new Helmut Lang parka for $200? Or the much-anticipated Spring 2000 Fendi baguette for half price?
With a passel of stylists, models, and fashion editors in his Rolodex, Alessandro gets pick of the litter. “I’m very particular. I only buy things I like, or if a customer special-orders it.”
You heard right: He’s a broker too. He can find just about anything your fashion-slave heart desires. With four trips to Milan a year and connections to all the right places, Mitrotti buys from Gucci, Prada, Chloe, and Hermes. You can even send him a want list: With the right digging, prodding, and negotiating, he can probably get it.
And if you’re not in New York, or, like Linda Evangelista, you don’t get out of bed for under $10,000, you can shop online.
