Welcome to the D. Matt Smith Retail Edit.

An online shopable archive.

Your peek inside the fashionable world of the D. Matt Smith Design Archive in New York City.

D. Matt Smith was founded by Matt Smith in 2010 to support the fashion design community with a collection of vintage garments, prints (vintage & original), and design techniques.

Our design clientele runs the gamut from fast-fashion to high end, home décor to costumers & stylists and beyond. From our studio based in New York City, our Retail Edit is a curated collection of well-kept vintage pieces and accessories from our expansive design archive. Each one selected, reviewed and curated with Matt’s discerning eye.

Throughout the website you’ll find an ever evolving collection of the rarest & most wearable pieces of fashion’s past, all sourced with an eye on what’s next.

Each selection for our Retail Edit is measured by our Vintage Condition Chart, a process in which each garment from our archive is carefully inspected and approved for public purchase, before being presented to you.

D. Matt Smith Retail Edit’s collection rotates regularly, so be sure to keep up with us on Instagram.

Meet Matt.

For Matt, it started with a love affair of shopping the local vintage shops in his Midwestern hometown. Inspired by the colors, textures and shapes of vintage fashions, he graduated with a BA in Merchandising, Apparel, and Textiles from the University of Kentucky.

In the summer of 2005, an internship with LVMH brands in New York City shifted his vantage point into the worlds of trend forecasting, print design and most importantly vintage archiving.

During this time, he had the opportunity to work with leading design teams and industry leaders allowing him to fully understand the creative process, while curating his distinct viewpoint within the fast changing global market. In 2011, he founded D. Matt Smith, a vehicle for his fashion-forward vision translated through a collection of vintage garments, prints and techniques.

Today, he splits his time between New York City and the Hudson Valley with his French Bulldog, Maude; while remaining focused on being on the forefront of fashion latest trends and designs. D. Matt Smith is now  a key partner for creative teams from luxury, fast-fashion, and emerging brands around the world.
