About

Forever Modern (FOMO) is an artist owned, local business with a goal of bringing you sustainable designer fashion for affordable prices.

My husband and I are glassblowers of 20+ years. This career path has been extremely rewarding creatively, just not so much financially, so when making big purchases we take it very seriously. We take into account the environmental effects of our decisions and that is one reason why we love and buy all things vintage. Our home and our store are fully furnished with vintage and upcycled items; it has become our lifestyle.

It all started a few years ago when we set out to declutter our closet. We found ourselves donating garbage bags of so called “bargains” from our local strip mall. It was a gross and frustrating feeling. So much time, money, and energy was wasted on throwaway items, not to mention the environmental impact. We said never again to "fast fashion" and we vowed to live by the old saying "quality over quantity" and since then life has never been better. Now we only buy high quality items, so we own much less but we feel much richer. We actually prefer vintage items for the quality, character and rarity but most importantly the environmental benefits. We now love and respect all of our belongings. We also love that we own things that are made to last and hold their value. Living sustainably is a life hack. It will save time, money, and the earth.

We are so excited to share our passion with you; that’s why we created FOMO. We specialize in pre-loved goods from the most luxurious designers. FOMO is a place where you make better choices for future generations, a place where upcycling is a way of life and a place where you can both love the earth and love luxury.

Shop local, shop pre-loved, shop sustainable, shop FOMO.
