WHO WE ARE<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]In the fast fashion era, we strongly believe that wearing something special, with its own history, is a value. That\u2019s why here at Shop the Story we research unique vintage garments, worthy of investing in.<\/p>\n

Shop the Story is founded on a deep love for the most iconic contemporary designers: Comme des Gar\u00e7ons, Junya Watanabe, Martin Margiela, Alber Elbaz, Dries Van Noten, Miuccia Prada. And the list goes on. Our online selection is the result of a passionate research: we only sell beautiful garments in excellent pre-owned conditions. Here you won\u2019t find ordinary vintage clothing, but garments from the past seasons no longer available in stores: unique and modern pieces, although they might have a few years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”101497″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]My love story with fashion began in the 1980s, thanks to my eccentric mom and her passion for the most eclectic designers of all times. I still remember playing hide-and-seek in the fitting rooms with my younger sister, while she was trying on her clothes. I guess that\u2019s why I continued to hunt for little treasures as a teenager, spending my Sundays at the flea market.<\/p>\n

Yohji Yamamoto long black coats, Comme des Gar\u00e7ons manga-style tulle skirts, Dolce & Gabbana lace dresses, Romeo Gigli velvet capes, Moschino pearl-embellished T-shirts, Kenzo floral maxi skirts, Ralph Lauren navajo oversized sweaters, Prada nylon shopping bags: they are all such vivid memories.<\/p>\n

On my opinion, fashion is not just about buying the latest trends. It\u2019s something related to our feelings, our visual memory and, above all, to our self-expression. And my ideal wardrobe is a perfect mix between great oldies and innovative pieces, a playful blend of whimsy finds and basic garments.<\/p>\n

My dream shopping destinations are not stores, but private wardrobes filled with Marni\u2019s original prints, conceptual Margiela tunics, John Galliano crazy gowns, Miu Miu balloon shorts, Marc Jacobs bon-ton jackets.\u00a0Here is where I find my treasures.<\/p>\n
