Vnyc: "One of the Top 10 Best Shops Online"

We put so much hard work into Vnyc that we are beyond elated to share two fantastic write-ups Vnyc recently received. Two esteemed media outlets featured our online shop amongst their Top Ten online shopping destinations among sites like Net-a-Porter, Neiman Marcus & Colette.

The U.K's Financial Times says: "This hip vintage site is the kind fashion editors stalk for insider labels, including 1980s Bodymap, Yohji Yamamoto tunics, and Azzedine Alaïa dresses." While Grazia called the site & blog "Inspiring."

We are always mad for the moody brilliance of Stefano Pilati at YSL and love his fall 2010 collection for the storied house. Of course we think this ad featuring Daria, shot by Inez & Vinoodh, is a brilliantly seductive follow-up to one hell of a smart collection. Truth be told, we find it bad-ass in the most respectable kind of way.
