A Look Inside the Fabulous World of James Veloria – L'Officiel

FRED SAHAI: Pieces you’re still looking for?

BRANDON GIORDANO: Always Margiela Artisinal pieces.

FS: Favorite collection ever?

BG: Probably Alexander McQueen’s They Shoot Horses Don’t They.

CW: Probably a series like ’93, ’94, ’95 Gaultier, just like anything in time was just so good—so epic, so collectible.

FS: People whose style inspires you?

CW: We’re definitely inspired by some of our customers. It’s great to see what people do with the clothes they get from us, what they’re into when they walk outside of our store.

BG: Historically I would say anyone kind of queer and fun, like Leigh Bowery.

FS: What are some of your favorite spots in the city?

BG: We go to 49 Monroe, Kiki’s, Forgetmenot, you can find me at Clandestino, in the back, almost every night.

FS: What music do you like to play in the store?

BG: Lately, I was in this like Italo-disco mix. It really depends on who is working in the store. It’s constantly changing. We are starting a James Veloria Soundcloud because people always ask about our music in our stories.

FS: Any final words?

BG: Keep shopping vintage, it’s ethical and you’ll look cute!
