How They Styled It

Find Yourself at Revivals

Two desert creatives prove secondhand style — from pre-loved books to re-loved jewelry — can be first-rate, and they found it all at Revivals stores.

It all began with a brief chat at a party last year. DAP Health Chief Marketing Officer Steven Henke and floral artist Lucie Doughty were at a mutual friend’s house. “We had just a short conversation, but it was positive,” recalls Henke. “I could tell she was a really creative person, and she had really positive energy. I really connected with her. A month or two later, she reached out and explained to me that she had this vision, that she loved shopping at Revivals and wanted to work on a project with us.” Doughty, along with photographer Anna Grace Lynch, envisioned a series of photographs that reimagined items found in Revivals stores, placing them in unexpected settings and using them in entirely new ways. The images “would all be themed, and they would be in collaboration with Revivals in the sense of being able to use their resources — such as their clothing or accessories or furniture or glassware or art or books — to showcase what Revivals offers,” says Lynch. Together, Doughty and Lynch created whimsical vignettes that offered a fresh and imaginative take on the store’s familiar image. “We aimed to create something fun,” says Doughty. “We wanted a quirky, unexpected piece that would catch people’s attention and inspire them to take a closer look, evoking a fresh and playful vibe.”

Steven Henke:

"dress without looking like you're going to a decade-themed party."

“At Revivals, you’ll find pre-loved mixed-century mod that allows you to dress without looking like you’re going to a decade-themed party.” Accessories are key, and he notes that “for men and women, the right belt and the right bangle make any look soar.”

"There is a sense of hope and optimism when you look at young people today."

“Freedom to be yourself has continued to evolve in the last 5 years,” he added. Young people are, in general, more politically and socially aware. There is a sense of hope and optimism when you look at young people today. They’re making it a better, more equal world.”
