“I’ve been obsessed with Gucci since I was 11 years old!”

Annette Vartanian (@vintagesplendor) is a mother of two, vintage stylist, creative, and lifestyle blogger, known for her eclectically maximalist style and adept skill in finding the best second-hand pieces.

In 2010, she launched her website and blog, A Vintage Splendor to share her love of vintage fashion. What initially started as a hobby transformed into a full-blown career—gaining a loyal community of fashion and style enthusiasts who trust Annette to share the best fashion picks, vintage decor pieces, and tips for conscious living.

In 2021 she launched The Splendor Collective, a subscription-based newsletter and Instagram page where she shares her best vintage finds, curated shopping lists, private closet sales, and ultimate “how-to” guides on thrifting.

Annette’s keen eye for rare vintage fashion has caught the attention of brands like St John. She currently sources exclusive designer pieces for their archives and limited-edition releases.

Annette focuses on teaching her followers how to create authentic, original outfits by shopping in their own closet or secondhand. Her tangible thrift and style advice empowers her followers to feel comfortable shopping vintage and embrace individuality and sustainability.

Annette’s work has been featured in Elle, Domino Magazine, Forbes, Atomic Ranch Magazine, Rachel Zoe, and California Home & Design.
