Chiara de Blasio’s shopping trip at L Train Vintage

By Posted on
  • Chiara de Blasio arrived at L Train Vintage in Brooklyn wearing an outfit that represented her personal style, which she describes as a darker take on the hippie aesthetic: a concert tee bought during the Finnish Metal Tour in 2011, BDG skinny jeans from Urban Outfitters, a patchwork handbag her uncle gave her, and a stone necklace that her friend’s cousin made.

  • Chiara shows off a bindi, which she bought on San Francisco’s famed Haight Street, on her forehead, her signature ear gauges and a brand-new septum piercing, which she got while home in New York for spring break recently.

  • “Eventually, I want to only buy thrifted clothes because there’s so much waste in the world,” says Chiara, who checked out the store’s colorful ponchos.

  • Chiara, a vegetarian, does not wear fur. “It’s not something I would purchase,” she says. “I don’t want to support that.”

  • “There are some really cool-looking skirts here,” says Chiara, holding up a colorful striped style.

  • Chiara peruses the shop’s plethora of velvet jackets. “I’ve never worn a velvet jacket before, but I might start,” she says. “I like velvet a lot.”

  • Chiara bought three new items during her shopping trip – this $10 sleeveless cream-and-black-hued dress, $8 horse-print vest and $10 pair of brown Dr. Martens – which she quickly fashioned into a cool ensemble. “I just like to decorate myself,” Chiara says. “If we have to wear clothes, we might as well wear cool clothes.”
