New York designers Esther Gauntlett and Jenny Cheng discuss party dressing, rare vintage finds, and curating a holiday edit for The Real Real.
launched in 2014, designers Esther Gauntlett and Jenny Cheng swiftly established their label as one that could convey emotion. First meeting while both interning at Eckhaus Latta in 2014, their first “thrown together” collection was under the name Moses Gauntlett Cheng with David Moses, growing “pretty organically” from there.
Esther Gauntlett and Jenny Cheng have teamed up with the vintage designer reseller platform The RealReal for a holiday edit that’s as personal as their own brand, Gauntlett Cheng. The partnership follows their return to the runway after a three-year hiatus, releasing a highly-anticipated SS23 collection at New York Fashion Week in September.
Esther and Jenny’s shoppable edit consists of approximately 100 pieces of RTW, jewelry, shoes, and handbags. Both steering clear of adhering to trends, the designers instead focus on providing a variety of statement pieces, from vintage designers like Dior, Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Chopova Lowena, and Prada., we spoke to the Gauntlett Cheng founders about party dressing and discovering rare vintage finds.
I would say 75% of my wardrobe is vintage. There are so many incredible clothes out there and so many designers I love that aren’t making clothes anymore, so you can cast your net a lot wider.What's a vintage piece you’ve found that you can't live without?JC: I found an SS98 Versace dress on TRR. It's a really thin wool plaid dress cut on the bias and I love it so much even though sometimes it's too small for me.
JC: It's like a full-time job looking for vintage pieces online now. I remember being able to find Gaultier pieces in Beacon's Closet in 2014. I love looking for older Versace, McQueen, Tom Ford, and Galliano.EG: Layers and sparkles. Have a little more fun with the accessories if you have to rug up.In the past couple of years, we've seen a surge in the popularity of vintage brands like Roberto Cavalli and Gaultier.
