HIDDEN TREASURES

Melissa Howard is ever-present at her East Village vintage shop that specializes in American-made menswear.

Stock Vintage

Stock Vintage, located in Manhattan's East Village, is the rare vintage store that specializes exclusively in menswear. That's not the only aspect of Stock that sets it apart from other vintage shops: its focus is on classic American work wear, with an emphasis on heritage brands and pieces that have historic value without looking like a costume or saturated with irony. The store's aesthetic reflects the personal tastes of Melissa Howard, who opened the store in 2006. Howard's fascination with Americana dovetails with a keen eye and a very real love for the line of work she's chosen, which is why Stock has become a destination for devotees of American menswear.

COLOR- BLOCK CATSUIT.

Catsuits were occasionally worn as a high fashion item at various times from the 1960s to the 1990s. During the 1970s and 1980s they were worn for aerobics and disco dancing. Around 1980 disco dance catsuits briefly became a street fashion item in the UK.

Simply Posh.

"I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it." 

Coco Chanel

WHAT DO I WEAR:
Buffalo by David Bitton vest,  classic lace catsuit and Steve Madden shoes

ART-WORK

"Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers."
