22-year-old Janel Molton, must have some kind of closet-sharing gene: as a University of Southern California undergrad and burgeoning consignment maven, she started out styling her co-ed friends with her impeccable finds out in LA, then moved back to New York last year to operate a by-appointment-only vintage showroom out of her place in Williamsburg. And, as if that wasn't enough treasure-hunting, Molton just launched RelicNY as an online supplement to her "new vintage" (circa 1990-present) stockpile.
Imagine a mash-up of your mother's uncanny bargain-hunting-at-Century-21 capabilities, then mix in your girlfriend with the most killer taste, then picture a closet tricked out out Cher-from-Clueless-style (ahem, has its own web site) and chockablock with 20 years of Lanvin, Armani, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Catherine Malandrino, Derek Lam, Calvin Klein, and Costume National. Now you've got the basic premise.
