When it comes to a vintage store, we're not concerned with men's or women's. I want you to treat it like no other store. Just find stuff that you love and go for that.
At a flea market I always head for the junk jewelry table first.
The way I see it, the perfect weekend getaway combines three things: seeing new places, eating delicious local food, and combing the local flea market for unique, one-of-a-kind finds.
My favourite vintage shop in New York is called Screaming Mimi's, and whenever I go, I'll spend three hours in there just trawling.
My mom used to take me to antique shows, which I hated because everything was so dusty and old and there were all these weird ladies selling their antiques. We call them "eclectic" now. But it was really amazing that I was exposed to that when I was younger. Now that I have my own taste, I understand it more.
Independent record stores are like a casino where you put down your money and you always win. How amazing to discover gems you didn't know about, to meet someone more passionate than you are, and to feel at home in a place you may never have been to before. I'm convinced they will never lose their place - Long may they rule.
If you get a chance, whenever you're traveling, do go to the local boutique comic book shop and don't buy your comics online 'cause those guys are going to go extinct, in a minute here, and we want to be able to have those experiences with our kids.
My mother used to take me to flea markets in my stroller, and I would just rummage through the piles. You've got to dig through the overstuffed racks that everyone else just walks by. It's the only way to find the cool stuff.
I don't like the idea of 'trends' at all. If you follow trends, then everybody looks the same. The best shopping experiences are in local markets, especially in foreign cities.
When I find something at a flea market or an antique store, it feels more special and I'm more inclined to want to wear it.
Whether you're going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special.
I never pass up the chance to shop at vintage stores.
Look for cars where people might not look, like shopping centres or notice boards as you can find some real gems that other people have not even thought of.
I always feel with a vintage shop they've picked the best bits to show you whereas with charity shops you can find a real gem. My mum is amazing at it, she has hawk eyes, so I go with her and follow her lead!
When buying vintage, it's important to choose pieces that you feel like you've already owned for years.
A library's ideal function is to be a little bit like a bouquiniste's stall, a place for trouvailles.
I love wandering around the vintage shops.
You can find, occasionally, some absolutely fantastic things in hunting shops. I've got one jacket that I just happened across which is a kind of unwashed leather - completely anonymous but absolutely special.
I love vintage shopping, but my secret spot for great tees and casual stuff is Trico Field. They have the cutest kids' clothes, too!
I was going to the flea markets to buy furniture. It was getting done the way it was getting done - on a small scale and with a lot of soul and heart and risk. We did fashion like fashion was done before - spontaneously, with joy and freedom, and that's what created our identity.
I like Goodwill and the thrift stores. I don't like going into a store and picking from a bunch of cute stuff that's already been found. One of the best parts is finding it myself.
If you go to a really great shop that stocks really great stuff and it doesn't makes it feel like a super secret club there's tons of stuff to find all way time.
I have vintage things that I got nine, 10 years ago, and every time I clean my closet, I can't get rid of them. I think, 'I will never find this again!'
When I go to a country, I go to flea markets, antique stores. I am always looking for something.
The Hester Street Fair is kind of like a tiny baby DailyCandy market every week in the Lower East Side.
