As Modelinia hung out “backstage” at ABC Carpet & Home before Erin Wasson’s runway show, we ran into Frida Gustavsson in an amazing orange blazer which she bought for just a euro in Paris. Everyone has fallen in love with the Swedish model’s style, so we just had to ask her for shopping tips. She’s a huge fan of vintage, so Frida shared with us her tips to shopping and digging through the masses to find vintage gems.
“Hm, great vintage… The key is to not look for it. It’s kind of difficult to shop for vintage since there’s so much stuff. You need to have an idea of what kind of material you’re looking for. Always when I go vintage shopping I look for specific materials. I like transparent stuff. Before you buy stuff, really look at it because it might have moth holes or it could be broken. A great tip, though, is if you walk into a store and it’s really bad, just look in the boxes, because some of my greatest finds ever are in stores like that. Like this blazer—seriously, one euro.”
Now go vintage shopping! ~ Bianca Posterli
