The Thousands

Vintage clothing is cool. And not cool just because somebody said so, but cool because that shit is still around and still looks good, unlike your frayed American Apparel hoody and your black Vans pumps with holes on both sides of both shoes. If you still don’t believe, listen to The Notorious B.I.G’s ‘Hypnotize‘ and absorb his lamentations on how "Every Cutie With The Bootie Bought The Coogi" and then think to yourself, "Am I in a position to dispute whether one of the greatest rappers of all time is cool?" and find yourself answering your own question, "No. No I am not." Then go to the Coogi and Alaïa sale at SHAG, Chapel Street and experience some actual cool shit that was cool then, is cool now, and will be cool when it’s ‘coolmeaningnotcool’ to say ‘I LOVE MILEY CYRUS – SHE’S SO RETRO’. – JM
