Owners of vintage shops, commission shops and second-hand shops

Today, everyone has turned their attention to vintage stores, because many favorite brands are no longer available to Russians. ELLE introduces you to fashionable girls who have long appreciated the charm of vintage things, and use them in their wardrobe

Olga Samodumova

There is an enviable lightness in the way Olga wears complex archival items of Maison Martin Margiela, Courreges, YSL and New York designers of the 1980s, which cannot be copied. Olga dresses secular Moscow in vintage with the same ease: we have already seen Sofia Ernst, Ksenia Chilingarova and Inga Berman in dresses and suits from her Peremotka project.

Evgenia Fedoseeva

We are watching with admiration how Evgenia Fedoseeva masterfully popularizes the culture of second-hand in her Instagram project Sentaku. The girl is engaged in a shop selling impeccable silk shirts, leather jackets, power woman suits and Levi’s jeans together with her husband Igor: they are looking for things at flea markets and vintage stores around the world. Zhenya works as a model, so she often travels: Amsterdam and Paris, Berlin and Tallinn. But the most impressive vintage places the girl calls Sunday flea markets in towns near Milan, as well as shops in Tokyo, where they take great care of old things. By the way, the name of the store — Sentaku — means «selection» or «selection» in Japanese.

Natalina Bonaparte

Not everyone can wear vintage and look super-sexy, but Natalina Bonaparte is just such an example. If you, like us, were inspired by the girl’s ability to effectively wear dresses of the mid-twentieth century and strict suits, then we advise you to take a closer look at her vintage Salon Bonaparte store with an excellent selection of fur coats, coats, vintage blouses and shoes like Christian Dior stockings of the 1980s.

Svetlana Bekasova

A bohemian St. Petersburg woman in total black from Belgian or Japanese designers in her commission shop «Bang Bang Supershop» (next door to her bar «Bang Bang» on the embankment of the Griboyedov Canal) teaches that Dries van Noten, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester and Comme des Garcons are just those things out of trends and time which you buy once, but wear all your life. Such an approach in the era of sustainability is a new luxury. Svetlana also made us fall in love by launching the Big Resale Weekend festival dedicated to conscious consumption in fashion: last year, for example, one hundred vintage shops, antique shops and recycling projects took part in it.

Sasha Karolik

Flying fabrics, Victorian mood, delicate prints and ruffles — St. Petersburg resident Sasha Karolik teaches us to be romantic, despite deadlines and March slush. The best part is that the girl collects her images mainly from vintage things: dresses, blouses, skirts and trench coats in a dreamy pastoral style can be bought in the vintage Kissa Market store founded by Sasha.
