Recently recognized by Vogue in a Midwest travel guide, women’s clothing store Dear Society (115 W. 18th St., Suite 100, KCMO) in the Crossroads highlights the luxurious side of vintage and curates a sense of effervescence with modern staples and standouts. Co-owners Maria Casteel and Chanel Jezek expanded their vision with Dear Collective (3566 Broadway Blvd., KCMO), a sister shop and collaborative retail space promoting local female makers and designers. The Collective’s featured vendors have it all, from hand-picked vintage garments to artisan home goods to holistic skincare. In an attempt to marry their vintage and modern ways, a spring collection-exclusive airy cornflower blue dress paired with a vintage-inspired wood-beaded statement bag is an ode to a long-awaited spring. dearsocietyshop.com
