The world of Archives was created by Alicia Rosato, who armed with an Associates degree from FIT and a good eye, has been curating her collection spanning a little over 15 years. She gained monumental influence from working at lingerie pioneer Agent Provocateur in her early twenties, and began dreaming of a space that could operate somewhere between an atelier and a showroom for her best pieces. When the opportunity to open Archives in 2017 came, it seemed the perfect opportunity to achieve this. Fierce, bold, and sultry…all encapsulate Alicia’s aesthetic and unique perspective on styling a contemporary look with timeless vintage pieces. With a taste for color, rarity, and quality in the clothing she curates she has caught the attention of many professionals in the fashion industry. With credits that include working with top fashion photographers, and styling photoshoots for the likes of Harpers Bazaar and Playboy, Alicia has her finger on the pulse of what is fashion forward since adolescence.
“I like to think of it as painting a picture and the wardrobe is my brush. I find inspiration in my Italian roots, and the bombshells or femme fatales of a bygone era. Empowering women with the armor they choose in their wardrobe is such a driving force in my work,”
Archives will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2027, but now boasts a second location, opening officially in September of 2025 in Hoboken.
Alicia continues to be a stylist that immensely respects the past while looking towards the future. She continues to find inspiration in her heritage, the thrill of the hunt for quality clothing, and the eccentric women in her life.
