Dorsey Ducharme Keeps It Real
Discover the ultimate guide for fashion lovers! For stylist Dorsey Ducharme, The RealReal — the largest online luxury consignment marketplace — has become a secret weapon. Whether sourcing statement pieces for photoshoots or curating timeless additions to a client’s wardrobe, The RealReal delivers access to fashion’s most coveted items.
Moving Digitally
As life continues shifting into digital spaces, fashion is no exception. Online shopping is now the norm, but it comes with questions: Is the item authentic? Will it fit? Can I trust this purchase? The RealReal sets itself apart by guaranteeing authentication, creating confidence for buyers looking for everything from runway exclusives to everyday luxury.
The RealReal: What Sets It Apart
Unlike other resale platforms, The RealReal offers access to pieces with rich histories — from vintage treasures to styles once seen on Sex and the City. It’s one of the only sites where shoppers can confidently add both a 1970s Chanel Tweed jacket and a 2010 Dior Saddle Bag to their cart, knowing each item has been authenticated. The platform also provides consignors with a trusted place to resell luxury items, while offering buyers a seamless, user-friendly digital storefront.
Dorsey Ducharme: Fashion Stylist & Creative Director
For six years, Dorsey has been carving out his place in the fashion industry, working across styling, creative direction, and production. Based in Phoenix, he has styled everything from personal clients to editorial shoots and films.
“What drew me to The RealReal was the ability to find pieces that are nearly impossible to track down,” he explains. Whether sourcing high-fashion artifacts for editorials or building chic capsule wardrobes for clients, Dorsey turns to The RealReal for access and authenticity.
Make a Statement
One standout moment came when Dorsey needed a specific Givenchy button-down featuring Dobermans — a Riccardo Tisci piece from Pre-Fall 2013. After weeks of searching, he found it on The RealReal. “I was beyond thrilled. I saw a vision with this shirt, and it was perfect for my upcoming photoshoot.”
These rare finds make The RealReal indispensable for stylists. For Dorsey, it’s not just about clothes — it’s about storytelling through fashion.
Building Capsule Wardrobes
Dorsey also works with personal clients who invest in timeless style. One client wanted a capsule wardrobe centered on versatile, luxury staples. Shopping The RealReal, he sourced Prada sunglasses, a Tom Ford dress, and other high-end essentials, ensuring each item fit the client’s lifestyle. With The RealReal’s two-week return policy, clients feel secure in their purchases.
Keeping It Real Since 2011
Although Dorsey primarily shops online, he has also visited The RealReal’s Los Angeles store, where he discovered runway relics like a Dior by John Galliano skirt from 2005. “Even though I wasn’t planning to buy anything, I left with a pair of Prada sunglasses — they were on sale!”
Looking ahead, he hopes The RealReal will expand into Phoenix: “The fashion scene here is growing. If The RealReal opened a storefront in Phoenix, Scottsdale would be the perfect place.”
For Dorsey Ducharme, The RealReal isn’t just a shopping platform — it’s a creative resource. From impossible-to-find runway pieces to capsule wardrobe staples, The RealReal continues to fuel his work as a stylist, proving that authenticated, pre-loved fashion is not only accessible but essential.
