On today’s show, we’re chatting with Dominik Halas, the Master Authenticator of Vintage for the RealReal. Dominik has been collecting, renting and reselling designer archive collections— primarily Helmut Lang, Yohji Yamamoto and the early work of Hedi Slimane— for over a decade. He now lends his vintage and archival expertise to The RealReal’s New York office, and his work at The RealReal and vintage expertise was featured in The New York Times at the end of 2022.
Now, I mentioned Manhattan Vintage, which if you're not familiar is a vintage wonderland convening 90+ dealers featuring collections from every era, style, and it’s a true New York City spectacle. This February Show kicks of a partnership between the RealReal and Manhattan Vintage, and you heard it here first on Pre-Loved Podcast.
I’ll link an episode in the shownotes that I did with the Manhattan Vintage co-owner, Amy Abrams, who – as you’re listening to this today (January 29) actually has a ‘Tastemaker Edit’ launching on therealreal.com of her favorite rare vintage items.
Additionally, The RealReal will present a curated selection from its newly launched Rare Finds category at the Winter Show, offering shoppers an array of its most storied and often one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. Tune in to get a sneak preview of some of the incredibly rare pieces that will be at the show this weekend.
It’s a really fun episode today, so let’s dive right in!
