About the Issue

The days of Michael Jackson, video arcades and “The Breakfast Club” may be behind us, but the ’80s are decidedly back in style. Vintage fashion is taking the world’s runways by storm as designers and trendsetters alike continue to rediscover the bright, eclectic fashion of decades past. Structured silhouettes, neon colors and miniskirts are just a few of the looks making a reappearance this fall.

Today’s world moves at the speed of light, and it is far too easy to get caught up in work. So this fall, hit the rewind button and embrace the simple joy and nostalgia of the ’80s with looks inspired by the iconic decade.

Joint Custody Joint Custody, an eclectic vintage store on U Street, describes itself as Washington, D.C.’s “home for the strange and freaky.” The small-but-mighty vintage resale and record store is home to funky thrift clothing and even funkier decor, with games and other relics of decades past. The buyand-trade shop’s best finds include offbeat concert tees and athletic jackets featuring the distinctive neon of the ’80s and ‘90s.

For those feeling nostalgic for the era of vinyl, Joint Custody merits a visit — it boasts a wide array of records ranging from Motown to grunge. Joint Custody’s carefully curated collection of vintage finds makes it the perfect venue for rediscovering the past.

Current Boutique Current Boutique offers a diverse selection of thrifted gems for fashion lovers both online and in its four store locations in the Washington, D.C.-MarylandVirginia area. Customers are drawn to Current Boutique’s Logan Circle location by its simple, chic exterior and will be compelled to stay upon coming across retro pieces not listed online. Over the past 10 years, Current Boutique has sought to create a fashion community for the modern woman. Founder Carmen Lopez had the idea to construct a system through which women could “recycle” their gently used designer clothes in exchange for other preloved pieces. Although its inventory consists largely of designer pieces, Current Boutique also carries a number of more affordable looks. Moreover, Current Boutique endeavors to provide its customers with the best quality both through its clothing and its service. This team’s dedication results in a meticulously curated collection of designer clothing, fine jewelry, leather handbags and stylish shoes that every modern, trendy woman will want in her closet.
