Whenever Allegra Pinkowitz is working a shift at the Brandy Melville store in Soho, rehanging rows of low-slung sweats, pointelle camis, and caps that say NANTUCKET, she feels the stares beaming in on her. Little groups of younger girls — she says that “they’re usually in eighth grade, maybe freshmen” — stop short at the sight of her and start whispering. “I try to smile — like, ‘I don’t bite!’” she tells me on a recent Wednesday afternoon, gripping a Celsius at a Joe & the Juice in Soho. It used to rattle her. But now Pinkowitz understands that all these strangers want is a photo with her, or a compliment on their outfit, or even just to come up and confirm what they and their friends all know: “Are you that girl from TikTok?”
