The Lalisa Effect: Inside Lisa’s Met Week Archive Session
Met Gala week in New York City is a whirlwind of custom couture and high-glamour red carpets, but the real fashion aficionados know that the most interesting looks happen off-duty. This year, the energy at our showroom reached a fever pitch when Lisa of Blackpink made her highly-anticipated return to Into Archive. Following a surprise visit last year that left us all buzzing, Lisa returned during fashion’s biggest week to delve back into our racks, proving once again that her eye for archival gems is unmatched. If you want to find your own red-carpet-ready look, you can book a private showroom appointment to explore our latest arrivals.
Lisa’s style has always been a masterclass in duality—mixing hard-edged streetwear with soft, feminine luxury. Her recent pull was a perfect reflection of that "Lalisa" DNA. Given her role as a Louis Vuitton House Ambassador, it was no surprise to see her gravitate toward some of the house’s most iconic throwbacks. She secured the Louis Vuitton 2000s Metallic Gold Leather Cut-out Wedge Sandals and the whimsical 2004 Multicolor Flower-embellished Sandals, pieces that highlight the playful, experimental era of early 2000s LV. She also snagged a rare Pink Beaded Logo Tank Top, a piece that feels like it was pulled straight from an early aughts music video. You can shop our full Louis Vuitton collection to find similar one-of-a-kind grails.
But Lisa’s taste extends far beyond a single label. She explored the architectural genius of the 1990s and late 2000s, selecting a bold Thierry Mugler Red Cutout Sailor Style Blazer and a truly museum-worthy Azzedine Alaïa FW 1988-1989 Burgundy Leather Double-breasted Coat. These are the kinds of pieces that require a certain level of fashion literacy to appreciate—and Lisa has it in spades. Her haul continued with a nod to the "New Romantic" aesthetic, picking up a Vivienne Westwood SS 1998 Blue Rope Print Corset and the iconic Giant Howlite Orb Pendant Necklace. Follow us on Instagram to see more behind-the-scenes of these iconic pulls.
What makes Lisa’s visits so special is the consistency of her vision. Looking back at her surprise visit last year—where she shopped undercover with her stylist—we saw the same appreciation for craftsmanship. That session included everything from an Hermes Kelly Clasp Cape to 1990s Chloe Mary Janes and a Plein Sud Lace-Up Cage Top. Whether she's picking up John Galliano 2004 patchwork dresses or rare Dior Mini Saddles, Lisa’s collection from Into Archive is a dream mood board for any vintage collector.
Was it a successful visit? If her curated haul of Vuitton and Westwood is any indication, Lisa just became our favorite vintage muse. We are constantly updating our racks with fresh finds, so be sure to browse our new arrivals and see what’s currently in stock. We can’t wait to see which piece Lisa debuts next.
