Victoria Brooks

I’m a New York–based editor and features writer at StyledMag.com, and I gravitate to stories where womenswear, sustainability, and real life intersect. I started on the retail floor and later worked as a boutique buyer, which taught me exactly how garments are sourced, priced, and—too often—discarded. That background drives my work: one week I’m reporting on textile waste, the next I’m showing you how to tailor a thrifted blazer or find a cobbler who can rescue your favorite boots. I also kicked off a neighborhood clothing-swap that grew into a quarterly community market, because great pieces deserve a second (or third) life. Off-hours, you’ll find me experimenting with natural dyes in my kitchen or hunting down the perfect vintage trench. I believe personal style is a daily practice, not a shopping cart.
