在倫敦生活過的人都知道vintage古著的深層意義, 這些舊東西不只是一時興起的潮流, 快時尚的短暫記憶, 而是好多時光與回憶在歷史記憶裡一層一層堆疊上的新故事, 且多半是美好的。歐洲精彩的時裝歷史, 在各處的市集都可以看到其縮影分部在小店或小販中。回到上海後我也曾試著找回在倫敦那股vintage熱忱, 但在這追求新趨勢新品牌新繁榮的快速發展大城市裡, vintage不再隨處可見, 像是美好回憶般要努力回想才能在巷弄間（或指尖中的淘寶裡）才能再次相會。好再上海現在有一群熱衷市集的人們, 把這些美好聚集在一起。
If you ever lived in London (or Europe) you must understand the real meaning of Vintage. Its not a fashion trend, it's clothes' history and lots lots of beautiful memories that piles up and become a "new past" for the owner. It's definitely a live text book of fashion history that appears in the flea market and little boutique all over Europe. I used to crave for my Vintage experience once I was back here, but the speed of new brand, new designers, new everything is all over the city, that makes people have no time to slow down and appreciate the "Old Fabulous Time/Good" However, thanks to the market in the lane and finger magic on Taobao, the sparkle finally came.
上次參加奐鏡central studio的嬉遊春日發現了一家跟我在倫敦Brick Lane逛到的vintage氛圍好像的小店, Select 18。和店家細聊下發現女主人Alex果然來自英國, 而店主則是來自香港的Tom。在香港已經有一家店的Tom (之前有被英國著名博主sussie bubble報導過呦）在較于飽和的香港市場後, 決心和Alex來上海開分店。這家在上海的店位於陝西南路的小弄堂內, 相較于熱鬧的大街上, 弄堂內帶花園小店更有英式小屋的懷舊風味。
Select 18, a lovely vintage boutique I found during a market fair, Spring Fling, in Central Studio. The shop is so British like, makes me feels like I was back in Brick Lane, and not out of my guessing, the owner's partner, Alex, is from England. Tom, the owner is from Hong Kong, who has the original Select 18 there and decided to open other one in Shanghai. (It has been post on style bubble. super cool ) The shop is in a lovely lane, has a cute front garden, which makes this lane house more like an English Cottage.
店內的陳列完美的結合了上海弄堂與英式復古, 混合出了獨特的“老舊”時尚。上海復古表配上Alex自己設計的“新古著”牌子 alexandra&martina, 沒有年齡限制的vintage風, 從市集裡攤位前滿滿的人潮就能看其吸引力。
The display in the shop is a perfect combination between Shanghai Lane and English Retro, makes its own "Lantro". (Love the world I just create haha). The whole board of old vintage watches, and the renewed vintage style dresses that is designed by Alex (the brand is called alexandra&martina ), broke the boundary of the age. Make the style classic and playful too. You can feel the attraction by the popularity in the market fair, it was a popular stand for sure.
（小店後面就是alex的設計角落, 美麗又愜意的工作室真的好讓人羨慕呀。Cute little studio at the back of the shop for Alex, so pretty and cozy. ）
在市集上買下的vintage, 是媽媽的新歡, 一直重複跟我學著vin-ta-ge發音的媽媽本來不喜歡穿“舊”衣服的, 現在也被vintage的魅力感染上了。那個午後, 是這輩子最快樂的時光之一, 也是我跟媽媽的母女vintage美好初體驗!
Mom's very first market experience with me, and immediately she was in love with the charm of the vintage, she is no longer dislike the old-smelly-clothes she used to call, while is learning hard of pronouncing vin-ta-ge. That magical afternoon is definitely one of the most beautiful quality time I have ever spent with mom, ever.
