Behind the Finds: Donny
Jan 12, 2026
Hi Finders,
I’m Donny Galella and I’m an Aussie fashion stylist.
Welcome to Behind the Finds! A blog where you’ll find out more about the people who help bring Vinnies Finds to life. I’m kicking things off, so today you’ll get to know me a little better and my love for styling, thrifting, and making fashion accessible for everyone.
Let’s dive in!
About Me
A bit about my journey...
I’ve been working as a stylist for 15 years, from red carpets at the Oscars and Cannes to helping everyday Aussies feel fabulous. My goal has always been the same: help people feel confident and fabulous no matter their budget or where they shop or thrift!
Three words to describe my style
Tailored, creative, and energetic.

Sustainable Style
How sustainability shapes my styling
What I love about Vinnies is the sustainable side of styling. You don’t need a big budget, it’s good for the planet, and it always feels like a TREASURE HUNT! I love walking in, searching through everything, and discovering something amazing and unique for myself or a client.
We all need to be more sustainable, and thrifting plays a huge role by giving clothes a longer life cycle. Vinnies makes it easier by allowing clothes to live longer and by supporting the community at the same time. You’re not just shopping sustainably: you’re helping others, which is phenomenal.
My top tips for building a more sustainable wardrobe:
1. Look at your current habits
Where are you shopping? Are you consuming fast fashion? If so, think about ways to reduce that.
2. Think about where else you could shop
If you’re not already going to Vinnies Shops, start giving them a try. Thrifting has changed a lot over the last couple of years, with stores now feeling fresh, clean, and genuinely enjoyable to explore.
3. Re-wear, recycle, and repurpose
Look at the pieces in your wardrobe that you haven’t worn for a while. Try to wear them again or donate them to Vinnies so they can have a second life.
