persephone vintage

A few years back New Yorker Susan Choi had a hankering for some bell-bottomed slacks, and given she wasn't growing up in the '70s, when flared fashion was the norm, had a rather hard time tracking them down. That's when she discovered vintage stores, and the treasure trove of old-school garb they have to offer.

These days Susan is doing the hunting for her online vintage store, Persephone Vintage, which stocks yesteryear threads with a bit of a graphic twist. Less flapper dresses and reams of floral fabric and more boxy shapes and the occasional cinched in waist, you can have a browse through the edgy outfits here.
