Travel & Leisure Magazine's Vintage Style

Buying vintage clothing isn’t a novel concept. Like many people, when I started shopping for used clothes during my high school years in Minnesota, I was simply adding an affordable splash of style to my wardrobe. Since then it’s become my passion, and I hunt down cool secondhand shops wherever I travel. Over the years, vintage has become serious business. Christie's  and Sotheby’s auction off designer collections. Supermodel   Karen Elson is opening a boutique in Nashville this fall. And Oxfam has brought on fashion whiz Jane Shepherdson—former brand director of London’s trendy Topshop—to remake the company’s dreary charity stores and to shine a spotlight on the sustainability factor of vintage. “Initially people were drawn to vintage because it was one of a kind,” says Cameron Silver, king of the trade and owner of Decades, in Los Angeles. “Now it’s extra chic because it’s green.” A justification for my obsession at last. Here, a short list of my favorite boutiques worldwide. -Travel & Leisure Magazine
