Nicole Truscinski
Writer
Nicole Truscinski fled the Midwest to study at FIT and become acquainted with the Barney’s shoe floor - both missions accomplished. After manning the accessories closet at Vogue, sampling beauty products at Seventeen, and making news for other people, she has now settled into a fast-paced position at New York's most exclusive designer vintage boutique in Chelsea. Her style lands somewhere between Cher Horowitz, Annie Hall, and the chicks from Wet Hot American Summer...with a little Stevie Nicks thrown in for good measure. You are just as likely to find her at a Tune-Yards show as you are the line for an Alexander Wang sample sale at 5am – and by likely, she mean it's 100% guaranteed you will find her there. Indie music and good shoes (and boys clad in plaid) are things she simply cannot resist!
