Special Consignment: Dorian May has a nose for Prada.

Mmm, that smells familiar—wait, it’s too musky to be the new Oscar fragrance. Is it . . . mothballs?
Okay, so it needs dry cleaning, but no one can afford to be picky these days, and my personal shopper picked this out. It’s vintage Hermès!
You have a personal shopper to go secondhand shopping for you?
Puh-leeze, Dorian May’s not just any shopper; she went to her first couture auction at age 10. More important, she can spot a perfect piece of Prada faster than you can say “Saks private sale.” Now she trawls retail and consignment stores. Recent finds include a Prada gown for $56 and fab $1,100 crocodile Christian Louboutins that give me legs! For $220!
Hurrah, no more elbows at the Barney’s sale.
If you can afford her: $150 an hour (212-249-8378).
