Second-hand clothing store specializing in threads from the '50s to now is comprised of various adjoining rooms stuffed with tees, coats, dresses and all that vintage kings and queens look for when reprising fashion editorial classics without spending too much cupcake money for them. Decor splits cultural hairs across Japan, the U.S. and Brazil. Walls are graffiti'd by street art stalwart Flip, who brings Japanese lettering to a low-brow aesthetic. Illustrated trees climb up onto the ceiling, while flashy, decadent chandeliers fight with strip lighting and granny-style wall lamps. Vintage furniture acts as display shelves for accessories like beaded jewelry, retro sunnies and plastic bangles. Entrance area features knickknacks like street signs with graffiti art, decorative chopsticks and retro posters. You could almost imagine Chloe Sevigny swaying along to the old blues track or Franz Ferdinand playing on the stereo while picking out an outfit to the flashback party tonight. Photos: Crispin R.
