You may have already seen the news, but the sensational ROSÉ of BLACKPINK stopped into Metropolis the other day to search out some new pieces.  She was all smiles, no pink venom anywhere, just oversized jackets, posing in our dressing room and dancing in front of the mirror.

Whether you’ve found yourself diving head first into Y2K-era trucker hats and low-rise pants or tend to keep it timeless with classic staple pieces, a bit of nostalgia is the coolest way to complete any stylish fit.

METROPOLIS VINTAGE CLOTHING

Known for its celebrity clientele – including power-couple Rhianna and A$AP Rocky – Metropolis Vintage is primarily known for their 90s nostalgia aesthetic and huge selection of vintage t-shirts. First operating out of flea markets across the city in the 80s, founder Richard Colligan’s concept came to fame when his first brick-and-mortar opened in 1990. Now, in addition to stellar band tees (which are sectioned off similar to a record store – by genres, artists, and era), shoppers can explore loads of leather and letterman jackets, sports jerseys, and accessories.
