We at METROPOLIS VINTAGE are happy to report that our first DESIGN-A-T-SHIRT contest was a resounding success. The quality, ideas, and creativity were all incredible and it was quite a struggle since every one of the submissions was cool in its own way. Our staff finally agreed on a favorite and the prize went to local multi-media artist DANIELLA D. DONATELLE, also known as 3D! Check out some of her work HERE!
The top three honors went to STEVE ELLIS, JACKIE VINSON, and SAMAY DHAWAN for their amazing work. Here’s Jackie with her wonderful design.
Legendary artist and PUNK MAGAZINE founder JOHN HOLMSTROM stopped by to check out the scene and chat about the art world . . .

About metropolisvintage
Metropolis is a shop located at 803 Broadway in Manhattan. We started selling vintage clothing in flea markets back in 1984 in SOHO - a time when downtown seemed like the center of the world, when street artists were pushing their way to the top and cutoff jeans were high fashion. We took hold of a set of keys and opened our first store on Ave B and 6th Street on Feb 1, 1990. Just like the East Village, we have changed over the last 34 years and now reside on Broadway just south of Union Square, but still have the largest and best selection in New York. We do a lot of traveling to find our large collection and I hope you enjoy the clothing we have to offer here. If you're in NYC, please stop by to hang out in the shop and become our customer and friend. Nothing makes us feel better than seeing someone wearing a item purchased from us when we bump into them in a bar or club or show.

About The Owner
My name is Richard Colligan. While freelancing at various advertising agencies throughout the city and graduating from Pratt Institute in1982, I sold clothes at several flea markets in NYC for extra money. Realizing an interest in fashion, but tired with the elements of outdoor retailing, I took my small business indoors to Avenue B & 10th St in 1990. At the time, fashion was all about "grunge" - the 501 Levi Jeans, flannel shirts, motorcycle jackets, overalls, and army surplus were selling like wildfire and Metropolis was the leading provider.
In 1995, I moved Metropolis to its current location of 3rd Ave & 10th St, which is conveniently situated in the heart of East Village, near St. Marks and many college dorms. Everyone from new college students to seasoned stylists would soon turn to Metropolis for their vintage fashion needs.
Finally, in 2019 we switched to our largest location yet - at 803 Broadway, just a few blocks south of Union Square. As Metropolis approaches it's 34 year anniversary, I hope everyone will come and check out our store, a staple of the NYC vintage community!
