🎧 Pre-Loved Podcast: Pinterest
Global Trends & Insights Lead, Sydney Stanback, and secondhand stylist KG Lillian
Brand New Episode of Pre-Loved Podcast!
There’s a brand new episode of Pre-Loved Podcast out, wherever you stream shows!
We’re chatting with Pinterest about their Festival Fashion Trend Report, made for Coachella. Sydney Stanback, Global Trends & Insights Lead at Pinterest gives us the scoop about how fashion trend reporting happens at Pinterest — think about it, Pinterest is a major driver in what we wear, setting the trends before they even get to social media — as well as what they reported for festival fashion this season.
We also had secondhand stylist KG Lillian, hop on the line, she’s known for her thrifted style boxes, and Pinterest asked her to curate thrifted and vintage style boxes based on our festival trend data.
We talk moodboarding, how vintage dealers and collectors might want to use Pinterest, and all the nostalgia we’re seeing in fashion right now.
It’s a fun one, and I think you’re really gonna love it – so let’s dive right in!
“People come to Pinterest to search for the thing that they wanna try, do, or buy next. And so, we really get to see firsthand what people are going to do before they even actually do it, which is incredible.
Through all this data, we get real-time insights of evolving interests, aesthetics, and emerging trends that gives us a much deeper understanding of the cultural zeitgeist, really helping us anticipate what's next.” — Sydney Stanback, Global Trends & Insights Lead at Pinterest

How to Identify & Value Vintage Clothing: A Collector's Guide
I’ve been collecting vintage for about twenty years now, and let’s just say: mistakes? I’ve made a few. Like the time I found a 1970s Paganne by Gene Berk gown (this exact one — weeping!) on the Halloween rack at my local Goodwill for $2.99 — and promptly resold it on Depop with the caption “great vintage maxi dress, comfy material, just doesn’t fit me!” for a cool $26. I was probably 22 at the time, and I’m sure I thought,
