About

hi, i’m erika.

i’m an artist, photographer, and the person behind closed caption, a vintage and archival designer brand.

my background is in fashion photography, publishing, and design. i’ve spent years putting together images, outfits, and magazine pages, and choosing pieces for closed caption comes from that same place.

i handpick everything myself, a mix of euro vintage, designer clothing, bags, watches, shoes, and the occasional object. i have a particular weakness for interesting shapes and rare items. some pieces are from familiar designers, others from labels you might never have heard of. i like having them next to each other.

closed caption is a collection of things i love and want to share. the best part is seeing someone find something they’re immediately excited to wear.

shop online or visit us in old town alexandria, just outside washington, dc. i hope you find something you’ll keep for years.

clothes. objects. ideas.

thanks for being here ♡
