"Be Normal, Just Don't Go Normcore!" Vintage Experts Share Their Style Philosophies


It’s Vintage Week at Yahoo Style! In honor of our favorite environmentally-friendly way to make sure you’re never wearing the same outfit as anyone else, we’re bringing you insider intel on the best vintage — what to look for, where to find it, and how to make the most money when selling yours. Stay tuned all week for more.

For the fashion-lover, shopping for vintage clothing is an art. Finding the perfect piece is akin to striking gold. You feel connected to history and better yet, your one-of-a-kind piece will most likely never lead to being fashion twins with someone at a party. To get the secrets, inspiration, and expertise behind the magic of vintage clothing, photographer Joel Barhamand turned to the ladies of Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn, New York. The store features everything from 1970’s department store labels to last season’s Marc Jacobs, and their selection is carefully curated by the storekeepers. We asked six of them to share their best style tricks and life philosophies.
