Second-hand stores today are popular not only among people with low incomes, but also among movie and show business stars. They do not hesitate to spend huge fees on purchasing clothes at flea markets and vintage shops.
Which celebrities dress in second-hand stores?
Among the world's stars, you can easily find not only connoisseurs of clothing from fashion designers, but also many fans of real vintage items and accessories with history:
- Julia Roberts. The film actress instills in her children not only a love of everything beautiful, but also teaches “smart” shopping. The actress often takes children to markets and second-hand so that they understand that you can look fashionable not only in expensive branded clothes.
- Debbie Harry. Once upon a time, the vocalist of the band “Blondie” went to second-hand stores, because she simply did not have enough money for other things. Now the star, naturally, can buy any clothes, but she has not lost her passion for second-hand shopping: here, as she believes, you can find many beautiful and fashionable things. “Everyone needs to visit these stores and “hunt.”It’s very exciting,” says Debbie.
- Kate Moss. She states that she is a regular customer at various London flea markets. As a rule, Moss “hunts” for vintage things, but often buys simply beautiful and inexpensive accessories.
- Evelina Bledans. Recently, the presenter said that she purchases many items at markets. Russian media wrote, for example, that in one of the kiosks near the railway station, Evelina was once able to find herself a robe, which she had long dreamed of.
- Sharon Stone. He is also a fan of second-hand items. Journalists write that the actress collects cashmere sweaters, which she purchases only in thrift stores.
- Winona Ryder. The film actress loves fashionable and cheap clothes, and does not hesitate to go to second-hand stores. By the way, as Ryder herself says, she once came to the Oscar ceremony in a $10 dress.
Why do celebrities buy things at second-hand stores?
The second-hand philosophy abroad is based on the fact that vintage clothing is not only a used item. This is an item with its own style, going back several centuries, but at the same time it can be very fashionable even now.
Reference! In addition, today purchasing clothes from thrift stores has received the same humane meaning as refusing natural fur products - this is an attempt to somehow stop the mechanism of constant consumption.
How society and fans react
They learned about second-hand in our country back in the 90s, during which time many people had already visited, and many even got used to buying clothes in these stores. But, one way or another, attitudes towards flea markets are still divided.Some are disdainful of wearing “used” clothes, some go to thrift stores in order to save money, and some “hunt” for high-quality and exclusive clothes, like, for example, movie and show business stars.
Second-hand has become a truly fashionable movement. Especially in our country, where new stores with exclusive clothing brought from Europe are now opening almost everywhere. Many often even forget that until recently these items and accessories had a different owner.
At these flea markets you can often find exclusive items that are simply not available in stores, or find the rarest items. Most likely, this is what attracts world celebrities.
Also, there is something in these clothes that only a true connoisseur of rarities feels - the spirit of antiquity. By going shopping at flea markets, you can buy quality items and buy decent clothes for yourself, while saving a considerable amount of money. Today, people who truly love quality are regular visitors to second-hand stores.
