Fashion Hunters - High Fashion...Again


The high fashion consignment shop, Second Time Around is the subject of a reality show which premiered last night on Bravo TV:  Fashion Hunters. The show is based in the New York City store. Tara, Ambria and Katrina run the store and welcome "already been worns" to STA's racks, including a Thierry Mugler gown worn by Jennifer Lopez to the 2000 Latin Grammys.  New sales associate Wilson comes on board and his first order of business is to revamp the men's section.  Here Ambria must authenticate a Carolina Herrera dress and a labeless Oscar de la Renta before accepting them.
