My favorite thrift find of 2025 was undoubtedly a vintage Lilly Pulitzer dress, a gift to my little sister for her homecoming dance. Two months later, I shared my thrifting success with Lilly Pulitzer's creative director, Mira Fain, before she hosted the label's Spring 2026 runway show.
"I'm a big thrifter myself, so I recognize a fellow thrifter," Fain told me under the Lilly-printed walls of the Casa Marina Resort in Key West, Florida. "That's what moves this brand forward. You saw [the dress] as 'oh my gosh, I have to have that for my little sister' and that's the legacy of [Lilly Pulitzer]."
