Looking for great Vintage Clothing stores in Soho.
Beth said::
I’m going to NYC in Dec and I’d like to find some fvintage clothing stores. We will be staying in Soho.. I’d love to find some 60’s or 70’s stuff, punk rock t-shirts and bell bottom pants. Any suggestions on some vintage clothing stores to go to?
Spotlight on: The 40’s
Designers responded with spare tailoring and V-shaped silhouettes reminiscent of the military uniforms many American men were wearing at the time. Hemlines rose to the knee, skirts were cut close to the hip, jackets were shortened and shoulders were broadened and padded. Sailor motifs and military embellishments appeared for the first time in women’s wear.

Spotlight on: the 50’s
As teenaged girls sock-hopped in poodle skirts, beaded sweater sets and scarf-tied ponytails, their mothers accentuated their own curves with wide shoulders, full skirts, cinched waists and structured undergarments. But 1950s youths were also showing a rebellious side as they turned up in rolled-cuff jeans, skin-tight T-shirts and greasy ducktails.
Spotlight on: the 60’s
The 1960s, that turbulent era in which the Baby Boomers came of age and found a collective voice, influenced some of the most iconic and enduring looks in fashion history.
