8 . Helen Uffner has dressed Broadway, Hollywood and TV shows for more than 40 years. But high-rise developers and Amazon distribution centers are making it impossible to store her extraordinary vintage (古董衫) collection.
Helen Uffner began her love with old clothes as a young teenager, troubling her father, who worried that people would think he could not afford proper clothes for his daughter. With the prospect of a career in period fashion lacking promise, she joined a management consultancy after college. But soon she decided to monetize (把……转换成货币) her passion.
Over the next 40 years, Helen Uffner established a celebrated business renting out vintage clothes. Initially, she ran the business out of her apartment. By the late 1990s, she moved to a 6.000-square-foot space in the clothing district.
Challenges began in 2006, when the landlord was selling the building and wanted her out. At the same time commercial rents were increasing sharply and the city’s clothing industry had all but disappeared. Eventually, in 2008, Helen Uffner Vintage Clothing moved to Long Island City.
The transition was not easy. But by 2018, Helen Uffner found herself in the same trouble. She ultimately settled into another space only to face the drama all over again —her current building is planned for being tom down to make room for the construction of a high-rise.
While COVID -19 has reduced the price of office leasing (租赁), vast warchouse space of the kind Helen Uffner needs is at a premium because of the demand coming from Amazon and other e-commerce sites.
Now in her 70s, Helen Uffner has found the prospect of moving for a fourth time especially tough. “I have been making the joke that the emperor has no clothes,” Helen Uffner said, “because who will actually dress him.”
