You have the right to not disappear.
You have the right to feel confident.
You have the right to look hot and happy in your clothes.
I’m Judith Rizzio.
My love affair with fashion started in the Bowery in New York City. I would dig through bins at the Salvation Army to find vintage clothes that I could tear apart to create something new. I've been on the hunt ever since.
I've spent over forty years collecting, creating, and styling. I've run nonprofit thrift stores, costumed high school theatre shows, and will stop at any garage and estate sale in my path.
Now, as the style activist, I use my experience to help people push against the privilege of fashion to make it accessible and fun for everyone.
Let’s get started.
