From colorful prints to classic seperates, these ten labels are amongst the most searched by young consumers.

In recent years, Gen-Z has massively contributed to second-hand clothing sales. In fact, according to recent reports, 83% of Gen-Z consumers either thrift or want to. However, when starting the journey in scouring one-of-a-kind pieces, one can easily overlook iconic labels, materials, and styles that once defined a generation.&nbsp; 
Looking to avoid this common problem? No need to fret. L'OFFICIEL has curated a list of 10 labels that are not just hidden gems in the second-hand world, but can become a part of your own collection with the right eye.&nbsp;

Known for her colorful, chaotic, and whimsical designs, Betsey Johnson has had a resurgence amongst the Gen-Z crowd. From tutu-esque dresses to novelty handbags, the brand has continued to be a staple in fashion since 1978.&nbsp;

For those looking for a minimalist aesthetic, look no further than GAP. Specifically, think of '90s classics such as the iconic khakis, relaxed-fit denim, and heavyweight cotton separates.&nbsp;

Even though knits are seen as a winter staple, Alan Paine's vintage selections are perfect for a cool summer evening. The British-founded label is well-known for its knitwear and country clothing, so a cozy piece that can last you all year round is perfect.

In the midst of new designers taking over prestigious fashion houses, it never hurts to look back at other creative directors' work. Whether it be Michael Kors in the late '90s or Phoebe Philo in the early 2010s, Celine is the perfect choice for anyone seeking quiet luxury in the most unexpected spaces.

Described by the Los Angeles Times as the person who single-handedly changed the course of fashion, Italian designer Romeo Gigli's pieces are must-haves. From body-hugging silhouettes to poetic designs, the brand continues to champion its roots to this day, both in and out of the secondhand market.

Based in Varese, Italy, Missoni has been championed for its colorful knits for 73 years. Scarves, flouncy tops, and midi dresses with fun yet fashionable colorways can easily be yours if you search hard enough for the label.

Are you a fan of the Sleeping Bag Coat? Well, the designer and creator of the silhouette, Norma Kamali, has much more to offer. Athleisure, swimwear, and if you're lucky, the Diana dress, are recognizable '80s styles under the brand's name.&nbsp;

Founded in 1980 by Spanish brothers &Aacute;ngel Custodio and David Dalmau, Custo Line was eventually transformed into Custo Barcelona in 1996. The brand's bold use of color, distinct graphics, and elaborate detailing or embroidery are key to distinction. Whether it be a cocktail dress or a short-sleeve top, Custro Barcelona will easily be recognizable once you are on the hunt for vintage grails.

In 1968, American fashion designer Anne Klein co-founded Anne Klein &amp; Company with business partner Gunther Oppenheim. Ten years later, her sketches turned into clothing and vastly took over many department stores and boutiques across the United States. In fact, she became so popular that she was the only woman invited to participate in the Battle of Versailles fashion show against five French designers. Now, her designs continue to live on the secondhand market, especially elegant sportswear, skirts, and casual accessories.

In the late 2000s, velvet tracksuits, low-rise jeans, and multicolored tights were the It closet essentials. Yet, when Moda International, or Moda INTL, was in production from 2009 to 2014, they offered alternative, well-made pieces. Owned by Victoria's Secret, lacey tops, embellished jeans, and fun prints combined with 100% cotton, wool, and rayon made the brand a popular commodity. Even though it's a discontinued line, you can find Moda INTL on apps such as Depop, Poshmark, or ThredUp.
