The NY Archive was born in a childhood bedroom on the Upper East Side, one that once held dress-up trunks and costume jewelry, and now holds more than 250 pairs of vintage designer heels. Founded by native New Yorker Gianna Corvino, The Archive is rooted in nostalgia: a lifelong love of fashion, shaped by childhood afternoons trying on her mother’s stilettos, flipping through old issues of Harper’s Bazaar, and watching the city unfold outside her window. What began as a personal portfolio quickly became a living, breathing archive,  one that reflects both where she comes from and where she’s headed.

The NY Archive is about more than getting dressed. It’s about becoming. About stepping into a version of yourself that’s bold, elegant, and unmistakably you. The collection has grown from its first trunk show to New York Fashion Week, major editorial shoots, and private clients around the world, but at its core, it remains personal. A love letter to the city that raised it. The Archive is a curated space for play, for polish, for storytelling, for people who grew up on both tea at Bergdorf’s and dollar slices downtown. It’s where sophistication meets imagination, and where every piece has a past and a future.
