We all know that the vintage trend is with us indefinitely, but Shotgun makes finding that pair of original Levi's a damn site easier than trawling some musty vintage fair or charity shop. Log onto the site and you will find an Aladdin's cave of hip brands, such as rare vintage Adidas, rather than their cheap high street reproductions. Other vendors include Kim Jones and his new council-estate casualwear line for Umbro and kitsch Brick Lane-based accessory makers Tatty Devine. Not to mention Urban Junkies favourite, 'Just Another Rich Kid' label, including the infamous (and potentially true) slogan Ts such as 'I f****d David Beckham'. |
