The common dilemma for most modern vintage addicts isn't just finding sublime pieces but scoring ones that actually fit. Emma Fletcher, owner of the NoLIta-based Lyell, has taken this predicament to heart, devoting herself to tailoring vintage-inspired garments to fit perfectly. Fletcher, a native of Australia, has turned her passion for fashions of the past into crafting dresses, coats, skirts, and blouses with a polished yet undeniably modern 1920s sensibility.

Her sartorial efforts also include her own line of shoes, crafted in Spain. While the clothing model that Fletcher styles her clothes after may tend toward the austere, pieces are consistently wearable, flattering, and fun.
