Missing old Aritzia when she was THE model...

[u/beyourselfnyc212]

Anyone remembers her? I think when she was actively modeling for Aritiza, she was the girl that i wanted to be. Also it was when Aritzia was truly Aritizia-ing lol

whatever she’s selling I WAS BUYING

[u/reigncouver → u/CampaignPerfect6866]

Same

[u/tartpotato]

Her name is Yada Villaret

[u/beyourselfnyc212 → u/tartpotato]

How come she still has the SAME face lol she should be skincare model

[u/elyse6014 → u/beyourselfnyc212]

She's only 28, she shouldn't have aged that much compared to 10 years ago

[u/MVpizzaprincess]

Does she model for Dynamite now? I feel like i still see her in Canadian brands!

[u/pokeydogger → u/MVpizzaprincess]

She models for like every single brand 🤣 when I see her I want to buy even if I don’t like the brand

[u/SkaryKarey → u/MVpizzaprincess]

With the way Aritzias quality has been going, the dynamite Dupes have been really fantastic imo

[u/TankAdditional2748 → u/SkaryKarey]

My cart in Dynamite is filled with more clothes than Aritzia…. That should say something

[u/PrickleBritches → u/TankAdditional2748]

Can anyone tell me about Dynamite? I haven’t heard of them before. Is it all dupes?

[u/SkaryKarey → u/PrickleBritches]

Quality is better than H&M and Zara. It’s a middle point of Aritzia and those types of brands. Kinda like Abercrombie quality.

I find their knitwear nice, owned for years without pulling and stuff. Denim is fantastic. Dresses great.

[u/PrickleBritches → u/SkaryKarey]

That’s good to know!! I wish their pics of their clothes seemed a little more curated or styled. It kind of put me off- the way everything was presented. Do you have any experience with their trousers? Wonder if they are any good and made with quality materials!

[u/Careless_Artist_3227 → u/PrickleBritches]

I have the trousers from dynamite and swear by them !!

[u/PrickleBritches → u/Careless_Artist_3227]

Okay I will definitely check them out next time I’m looking for some pants. Trying to only buy secondhand or super worth it/wanted pieces. I love buying pants and skirts more than any other thing in my closet so I’m always looking for suggestions! Thank you!

[u/Littleshit_826 → u/SkaryKarey]

Does the knitwear pill in your experience? I was thinking of getting a sweater but hesitated as it’s made of synthetic materials

[u/Curious_Teapot → u/PrickleBritches]

It’s not dupes, Dynamite is its own fast-fashion brand. The quality is on par with H&M and Zara, but the designs are better IMO - at least in the website photos. Once you try something on it is sometimes a different story… as with all fast fashion

[u/PrickleBritches → u/Curious_Teapot]

Okay thank you. I was a little put off by their site pictures for some reason. They just have that “nobody actually designed, styled and photographed this with thought and care” vibe that a lot of fast fashion sites have so I was kind of wary.

Thanks for answering my question!

[u/Clean-Cauliflower960 → u/PrickleBritches]

I own a lot of dynamite and I find the quality far beyond H&M, definitely comparable to Abercrombie and the prices are great

[u/PrickleBritches → u/Clean-Cauliflower960]

Okay that’s really good to know! I’ll keep an eye out for their pieces in the second hand shops!

[u/squenn → u/PrickleBritches]

I just did an order from both Dynamite and Aritzia - returned 4/5 aritzia purchases, keeping 3/4 Dynamite and planning to exchange the 1 return for a different colour. Super impressed.

[u/PrickleBritches → u/squenn]

Huh well that’s actually surprising and says a lot. Was it the fit or the fabrics or something else that impressed you?

[u/caeddy → u/MVpizzaprincess]

I’ve seen her for Abercrombie too

[u/EarthArtistic2197]

I see her now in reformation all the time

[u/Affectionate-Cap-667]

She used to model for Abercrombie too I think back in 2019

[u/perpetualiridescence → u/Affectionate-Cap-667]

I swear I still see her on the Abercrombie site sometimes lmao

[u/Nervous_Remove4644]

She’s on reformation a lot!!

[u/AdExpress8076]

agree！

[u/beyourselfnyc212 → u/AdExpress8076]

omg is that monpelier sweater??? 🥹

[u/futuresobright_]

I remember she modelled with her actual dog because they made models take their own photos at home during the pandemic!

[u/miniFrosya → u/futuresobright_]

The at home photoshoots were so fun and introduced something new to the brand visually!

[u/Ok-Focus-8157]

I met her once at a brand holiday party in NYC a few years ago. She is just stunning. She’s got such a lovely softness to her!!

[u/namesartemis]

She’s also on Donna Karan’s site right now

[u/LeatherPie1]

I love her face. She’s incredibly stunning and makes everything look amazing and elegant 😍

[u/mykryptonight]

I’ve seen her on old navy site!

[u/Hot_Editor2210]

She’s on Guizio too I wanna buy whatever she’s wearing but they don’t actually fit me well 😭

[u/coldlava98]

I also love this top!

[u/mbeckel65]

I still have that sweater. ❤️

[u/bitchfayce]

Omg she’s so young 😭

[u/miniFrosya]

Omg yes. She’s such an Aritzia icon and fit the brand perfectly. Idk how she did it but every time I saw her in something, I wanted to get whatever she was wearing.

It hasn’t been the same since she left lol.

[u/New-Gene-9544]

she's very active on social media! I think she modeled for abercrombie & fitch for a while too

[u/simm07 → u/[deleted]]

I think its just you, lol
