A few months ago, his uncle, Todd Oldham decided he wanted to part with some of the collection. “He is in a different chapter now working on different projects, and the pieces were just sitting in boxes gathering dust,” says Presley. “He’d rather have them on people who enjoy and love them, and JV felt like the perfect playful fit to sell them through.

There are also dresses from Todd Oldham’s Pantone collection from spring 1996, including a strapless curve-hugging dress worn by Amber Valletta.
Other standouts include Todd’s signature, literal takes on design.
