PHENOMENAL FASHION

Wear it Vintage. Buy it on Instagram.

“I love your jacket! It’s vintage. Where did it come from? – Instagram” Ended the days when you walked the streets of trendy neighbourhoods to find an old iconic jacket from the 1970s, where you spent hours on specialized websites to find the pair of shoes from the 1990s. Instagram swept everything in its path! Becoming the major social network of our time over the years, many accounts open every day to allow us to «chiner» quality vintage pieces without moving from our sofa.

Focus on the accounts that will put you back together.

 “That’s hot” and Paris Hilton won’t say otherwise! Marie, aka Nina Gabbana for the VIPs, get for you what the years 2000 did worst but especially BEST. This young self-taught, made in Internet, makes her living money by DM – it means Direct message – “It’s simple fast and efficient. And then it creates an exchange with people who buy parts from you too. I like it” and so do we ! Gold mine, far from the current fast fashion, the most ICONICAL early 00s pieces are available on its e-commerce. An ultra-sharp universe is a 2.0 design, which makes our aunt’s closet so cool that we also take on our own.

 

THE MOST I AM A LOOKBOOK

Wandering through the account is like making a peaceful fashion break. It’s a bit like Phoebe Philo made it the AD. It’s sharp. It’s accessible. But most of all, it’s beautiful. Not only for It-girls, we would almost forget that clothes are for sale. To consume like a mood board, to wear like a look book. So goooood.

 

THE MOST KAWAI 90s

@Themermaidexpress

Imagine Brenda and Kelly who decide at the end of the 90210 series to open a fashion shop. Well, that would make The Mermaid Express. Ode to the 90’s sweets, high sizes and pastel colors. Nissa and Billie the founders, explore all facets of the lifestyle made in smile. Proposing a real travelling thrift, they impose themselves where they are not expected : from the Christmas market, to the open air Techno, they settle, discuss, and creating real relationship with their customers. More than a simple instagram account, it is a true collective of joy. Organizers of parties, they watch as a duet to give Summer Jam in Paris. Like a pink Californian sky all year round, Mermaid Express illuminates the capital.

THE MOST LET’S TALK ABOUT (REAL) FASHION

@Mojifarhatparis

When we ask him to tell us his first time with vintage, Moji Farhat tells us that everything started in the 90s. At this time, he went through all the thrift shops around the city. From Paris to London to get dressed and to “chiné few dress for the Drag queens from Folie’s Pigalle and Queen.”  But everything really started ten years ago while by chance it finds a coat from Castelbajac winter 1981, “it was a click, a childhood return. I began to collect with obsession the iconic pieces of the creators who made me dream as a child.”  Today he did his full time job. His instagram account serves as windows at his shop – in partnership with Vestiaire Collective  – but above all served us to tell us a fashion History. Every garment is told with care and precision. When vintage becomes archival work, the inheritance of the garment is only more beautiful. So thank you Moji Farhat for this fashion lesson, every day.

In short, these accounts are to follow, to share. And don’t forget, buy vintage is consuming more responsibly Eco. And on top of that, it’s being more stylish. Please yourself, buy vintage!
