Christos Garkinos, the self-proclaimed "Robin Hood of fashion," joins Who What Wear Market Director Bobby Schuessler to unpack his winding career, from growing up working in his family's Greek restaurant to becoming a reality TV personality and pioneering the world of luxury resale. Garkinos grew up infatuated with the Home Shopping Network, and after stints at big corporations like Clorox and Disney, he began to forge his own path in the resale market. He opened a store, starred in Bravo's Dukes of Melrose, joined HSN as a host, and then ultimately found his niche selling his curated goods on Instagram Live during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, Garkinos discusses how he turned his pandemic project into Covet by Christos, an Instagram shopping network that now airs seven days a week. Plus, he shares which vintage items are trending and what brands are the most valuable to collect right now.  Buy Christos’ book here!
