Before opening 90’s Kids Closet on Magazine Street in New Orleans @Aidanbleep started selling vintage clothing out of his parents’ garage in Abita Springs. He began by sourcing pieces from Goodwill, selling everything from windbreakers to other secondhand finds to friends in the area.

What began as a hobby has since grown into a staple vintage and streetwear shop visited by celebrities including Ariana Grande, Channing Tatum, Chance the Rapper, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Beyond its selection of clothes, 90’s Kids Closet has become a place for people across New Orleans to shop, hang out, and connect through a shared interest in fashion.

In this STAR HEARTS episode, we travel back to the garage where it all began as Aidan reflects on building a community before a business, turning his hobby into a career, and the personal challenges he's faced along the way.
