"Just look at this Versace leather halter! Do you want to try it on?"
Masha Poloskova, tall and poised, strolls between racks at Moss,
her high-end consignment shop on South Lamar. She picks up each
frock, just as excited about one piece as she is the next. "This is a
straight-off-the-runway Chanel," she says of the Chantilly lace
f loor-length stunner designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1984. This year
marks the fifth anniversary of Moss, which Poloskova opened to an
eager audience; in the 100 percent designer resale shop, every
garment comes to Poloskova and her team by someone in their
active group of 1,500 consigners in Austin.
In September, Poloskova will also celebrate the first anniversary
of Garment, which she opened just a few doors down from Moss.
The inviting, light-filled, and thoughtfully curated shop is made up
