Metropolis History/The Breeders, X-Girl

Posted on May 7, 2011 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

Sometimes a smell can spark a memory. At Metropolis, T-shirts spark our memory. We came across a Breeders and X-girl t shirt and boy it was not just a spark but a explosion of memory’s of the 90’s that came back to mind.Back in the 90’s we use to be at 96 Ave B. On the edge of good and DRUGS. Well that another story. As for why Breeders and X-girl, all vintage stores rent or sell clothing for videos at one time or another and a Stylist/Designer named Daisy Von Furth was a good friend and customer of Metropolis than. Daisy did the styling of The Breeders, Cannon Ball video and Metropolis clothing was used for the shoot. Now the Director of the video was non other than Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. Daisy Teamed up with Kim to design the initial line of X-Girl clothing line. X-Girl was a off shoot of X-large Clothing. X-Girls first fashion show was a street fashion show in Soho Check out the MTV fashion video and you can see Daisy and Kim Gordon. We don’t know where Daisy is these days and if any body knows can you tell us what she is up to. We miss Daisy. (Daisy if you read this get in contact please)

As scene in The FADER Magazine

STORY BY: Kayla Monetta

FADER contributors cross boroughs, counties and states to find fine thrifted and vintage pieces on the cheap for our column, Thrintage. This week, Kayla Monetta hit up the East Village to check out Metropolis Vintage.

Walking into this store is like a time warp back to an edgier St. Marks, bringing back predominately ’80s inspired prints and styles sprinkled with a western feel, stuff you can imagine old-school East Village kids wearing. Metropolis is a bit pricey, but everything is one of a kind so it’s worth it.

Metropolis is the very first vintage store that I fell in love with when I first came to the city. I saw some gorgeous boots in the window and I wandered right in. Turns out, Metropolis is famous for carrying about a billion vintage boots and adding aged gold studs to them. Boots are in the $50 range, but the popular lace up studded versions can be up to $195 a pair.

Both leopard print and floral-lined jean jackets are what I would call ’80s masterpieces.

Liz Clairborne vintage floral dresses are always a summer staple, and Metropolis delivers some amazing prints. This Navajo styled shirt is another summer look.
