There is a vintage store in Paris where Amelia Gray seems to find all, or at least many, of her cult pieces. The model, among the most in-demand on the catwalks and recognized for a well-defined personal style, is one of the most frequent visitors to this address, and it is not hard to see why: one only has to look at the store’s concept to sense the care and research that characterize it.
It is Son et Image, a space in the heart of Paris, the undisputed capital of haute couture and a city with no shortage of vintage stores, which nonetheless stands out for its identity and selection. The thrift shop has three addresses: one on boulevard Sébastopol, in the 2nd arrondissement, and two others in the 1st arrondissement. Leading it is Shala Riazi, who has been active in the world of second hand for almost fifteen years and personally curates every single piece for sale. A meticulous selection that makes the store a true destination.
The result is a temple of American coolness among t-shirts with iconic prints, leather jackets with a unique character, and bomber jackets decorated with patches, among others. A mix that tells of the street and nostalgic aesthetic of the United States reinterpreted with a contemporary and, ça va sans dire, Parisian sensibility.
It is not surprising, then, that the store’s frequent visitors include prominent names from the international scene. Only in the last few hours, Son et Image shared on its channels the visit of an exceptional guest: Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior. A prestigious addition to a list that ranges from the world of music to fashion, from Travis Scott to Kid Cudi, confirming the store’s status as a reference point for those looking for unique and authentic pieces.
