“You can go into a thrift store and match any fast fashion trend that has ever existing and it won’t fall apart after one wash.”

Jordan Stark started StarkRaaving as a creative outlet in the summer of 2020 when she was getting a little stir crazy being at home all the time. She has always admired the folks who radiate confidence and take risks with what they're wearing and wanted to be one of those people. Her Closet Tracking project is her way of working toward that goal and figuring out her personal style. Thrifting has been a huge part of the process for her! The main goal is to get the maximum function and JOY from her closet. An unintentional result is that she has been able to help others figure out what works for them along the way, which is, for her, the most rewarding part!
