Substack is more than just a platform for writers and content creators—it’s a thriving community for ideas and conversations. This is why The RealReal, the luxury resale marketplace, decided to join the Substack space with the launch of *The RealGirl*. Aimed at fostering deeper style discussions among its loyal followers, *The RealGirl* offers an unfiltered, authentic take on navigating the world of luxury fashion, from the thrill of discovering rare vintage pieces to the disappointment of missing out on a coveted item. Think of it as a blend of Tim Gunn’s expertise and *Gossip Girl’s* flair, all wrapped into one stylish publication.
To celebrate the launch, The RealReal hosted an exclusive dinner at Manhattan’s intimate King restaurant, where fashion, food, and creativity collided. Guests were greeted by a mannequin dressed in TRR finds, and the evening unfolded with hand-cut ravioli, roasted onglet, and fashion-themed Mad Libs filled out tableside. The event brought together a star-studded mix of tastemakers, industry insiders, and Substack creators, including actor Francesca Scorsese, model Bella Banos, and notable Substackers like Emily Sundberg (*Feed Me*), Jalil Johnson (*Consider Yourself Cultured*), and Hunter Harris (*Hung Up*). Even King’s co-owner Clare de Boer, who runs her own popular Substack, was part of the vibrant gathering.
The night was a testament to the interconnected world of creatives and the power of Substack as a platform for meaningful dialogue. With *The RealGirl*, The RealReal is ushering in a new era of editorial content—one that’s raw, relatable, and refreshingly real. A new chapter in fashion storytelling has begun, and it’s one we’re excited to embrace.
