Party Girls in Brooklyn!
The 1995 cult classic film Party Girl tells the story of Mary, a 20-something living in Manhattan who loves vintage couture and the nightlife but struggles to make rent. When she winds up in jail for throwing an illegal rave her godmother bails her out and gives her a job as a librarian…but that doesn’t stop her adventures!
A modern day Mary would definitely live in Brooklyn and shop at Regeneration. A mix of upcycled, thrift and vintage finds by various vendors, Regeneration is our go-to in Williamsburg when we want to spice up our wardrobe.
Check out these Mary inspired looks from the vendors at Regeneration and then see the newly restored movie coming to an actual theater near you!
