Retrofit Republic is a vintage clothing boutique and styling firm for individuals, changemakers and brands. We are the nexus of community building, activism and social change in the fashion industry. We specialize in community partnerships, fashion styling, art direction, editorial photo shoots, event design and planning, and selling curated vintage apparel and accessories for men and women.The vision of Retrofit Republic is to change the belief that fashion and environmental sustainability are mutually exclusive. Since the beginning, we have always believed that social responsibility is necessary for any successful business —not an afterthought. As a values-driven business, we are committed to impeccable style, sustainability efforts and initiatives that benefit low-income populations, communities of color and our LGBTQ family.At its core, Retrofit Republic represents the nexus point of our passions for fashion and progressive values. We hope that our creative work represents a unique kind of artistic activism —one that advocates that each one of us can look good and do good in this world.
