Document spent a day inside the fabled archive of Early Halloween with its custodian and guardian Deborah Hendler and, self-proclaimed surrogate daughter, Elena Dimkaros. After 51 years in business, the establishment is an iconic institution for anyone in fashion, film, or television. This film explores the history of the vintage collection in hopes of preserving its memory and to honor the conservators of this two-story Chelsea legend as they prepare to close their doors this year.

Early Halloween is currently selling their stock.
