Gianna Corvino, founder of The NY Archive—a vintage haven beloved by Sabrina Carpenter, Hailey Bieber, Tate McRae, Ariana Grande, Lily Allen, Elizabeth Hurley, and Anne Hathaway—is turning her appointment-only showroom into a New York City fashion warehouse on
On May 31 in New York City. Gianna Corvino is opening the doors to something she’s clearly been building for years. The founder of The NY Archive—already a vintage destination adored by stars including Sabrina Carpenter. Hailey Bieber. Tate McRae. Ariana Grande. Lily Allen. Elizabeth Hurley. and Anne Hathaway—is taking her appointment-only showroom and expanding it into a fashion warehouse meant to bring archived finds and new brands under one roof.
Corvino frames The NY Archive Collective as a kind of finished world. “The NY Archive Collective really feels like the culmination of years of world-building,” she says.
Her vision isn’t subtle. She wanted a permanent space where “your childhood Barbie dream house meets your grown-up Sex and the City fantasy,” complete with details she says are all intentional—“from the zebra couches to the pink shelving lined with archival designer shoes and bags.”
At the heart of the Collective is the way shoppers will be able to shop across eras without feeling locked into one lane. Corvino says the space will include a rotating selection of curated vendors, creating what she calls a full fashion ecosystem. “The Collective allows us to create an entire fashion ecosystem. ” she explains. describing it as a place where people can “complete the outfit. ” whether they’re adding “jewelry. shoes. bags. vintage slips. contemporary pieces. 1930s blouses. or Y2K skirts.”.
For Corvino, summer shopping comes with a very specific point of view. For summer 2026, the New York native says she already knows what shoppers should be hunting for. “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. Her message is simple: “People want to sparkle again in pieces that feel individual and glamorous.”.
And when it’s time to actually get dressed, Corvino doesn’t pitch it like a checklist. She offers a tactic that sounds like pure comfort—then a dash of daring. “Getting dressed should feel like making a sandwich. Keep one layer simple and classic and then add something outrageous or unexpected,” she advises.
The logic is emotional as much as it is stylistic. Corvino says the “magic happens” when timeless basics are mixed with pieces that “carry personality and history.” But she warns that if everything is simultaneously archival and statement-heavy. the look can tip into costume. “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.
Her personal go-to combination pulls from multiple timelines without losing cohesion: “Vintage denim, a white tank top, a vintage jacket, a mini bag and very broken-in Chanel ballet flats.”
She’s also clear about why she’s drawn to the imperfect parts of vintage—why even wear feels like it belongs. “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.
The NY Archive Collective opens on May 31 in New York City, with Corvino’s promise baked into the space: history isn’t just something to display—it’s something to wear, mix, and make your own.

Appointment-only vintage warehouse… sounds like something I’m definitely not getting into.
So it’s like a store but also like a “dream house”?? I mean good for her but I don’t get why it needs to be this big. Barbie meets Sex and the City?? ok lol.
Wait is this the same thing as like a charity archive or is it just designer shoes and stuff? The article says “New York Archive Collective” and then mentions vintage slips and 1930s blouses… so is it clothing or like a museum? I’m confused but also I kinda want the zebra couches.
May 31 in NYC sounds expensive, like already booked by rich people and influencers. They say it’s for “complete the outfit” like they’re gonna hand you a full personality too. Also I saw Hailey Bieber and Ariana Grande and now I’m thinking it’s just gonna be a hype spot with overpriced vintage. But the Y2K skirts + archival shoes part is tempting, I’ll probably still look and get turned away anyway.
