Grammy-winning R&B and Hip-Hop artist, SZA, proudly performs in thrifted clothing and is regularly seen in her second-hand pieces. She even confesses to a sustainable fashion addiction, calling thrift shops “the devil”. We can all relate to the second-hand shopping bug that the “Kill Bill” singer has been bitten by. Hopefully SZA loves consignment shopping too (the VIDA STYLE ladies would love to meet her).

This Y2K icon Executive Produced HBO drama, Divorce, in 2016. Her costume designer told Fashionista magazine Parker wore all vintage or second-hand pieces. Aiming for a 70s’ look, they bought vintage dresses in larger sizes and altered them to fit Parker. Altering second-hand clothing is a great way to get your dream outfit without breaking the bank!

Giving new life to our beloved pieces is a great way to save money and the planet!
