^Awesome! Thank you, Faust.

My wife and I will be spending a week in New York City this April, and aside from the expected boutiques I am excited to experience (Boris Bidjan Saberi, Atelier, Patron of the New, etc.) I was wondering if any of you could recommend any resale and/or vintage shops where we may be able to find older season garments from Ann D, Yohji,CDG, so on and so forth.

We live in the San Francisco Bay area, and the best store of the sort we have is Sui Generis. Their stock from these niche designers, unfortunately, is very limited. Surely, NYC will have a far greater variety than we are used to!

Any recommendation is greatly appreciated :)

About Glamour usually has vintage from those designers.

Came here to comment regarding About Glamour as well! Definitely the place to go for vintage Yohji and CDG. The women's selection is far greater than men's but both are worth visiting for. I've also found lots of cool pieces here from brands that definitely aren't available in the USA (lots of smaller Japanese brands, many of which are defunct). I've also seen some CCP and Rick Owens, although not much Ann. Everyone working here is awesome too! Love this place!

The Armory Show, is it worth going?

i want to move to new york but i need someone to help me figure out how to make a living there.

[Faust]

Ha! Funny guy. Do what everyone else does, get a $30k job, live in a 400 sq ft apartment with a roommate, and go to gallery openings for free booze.

Surely you know someone for me right?

Hope everyone is safe! The infrastructure in NY in general tends to be very old and dangerous, make it a point to have your buildings checked out!

I spoke with Mike Nouveau - all the Paul Harnden are safe and sound.

Have been out of town and didn't even know this happened. Just a few blocks from my place. Good bye Pomme Frites.
