Let’s admit: it can be frustrating when you compliment a friend’s beautiful jacket for them to reply “it’s vintage”. It’s the realization that you’ll never be able to wear the same unique item yourself. Luckily, you’ll be able to get some standout garments of your own at the Oh Vintage pop-up this weekend at June in Friedrichshain (02.-03.04.2022). We’ve long admired Oh Vintage founder Verena Glup’s ability to find and curate timeless designer classics and “Oh wow!” pieces that give the shop its name (we’re thinking Versace three-pieces and black and rainbow Moschino leather jackets from the 90s). For this latest event, a selection of pieces will stand side-by-side with Leorosa’s collection of vibrant cardigans made in Italy from the highest quality merino wool and cashmere. Founded in 2019 by Paolina Leccese and Julian Taffel, the Cologne and New York-based brand has featured in multiple Vogue publications, GQ, Tatler and W Magazine to name a few. The simplicity of the pieces combine with their color maximalism: think bright cardis, polos and gilets with contrasting piping and mini animal print collars. Moreover, this event is a triple whammy, since the pop-up is in June, a minimalist multidisciplinary exhibition and venue space established in 2017 by Marie-Christine Molitor, frequently hosting discussions, local artists and events alike. Time to get suited and booted and start searching for that dream vintage find.
