We LOVE a good boutique story here on Marketplace and the boys behind t-shirt brand, Tee Co., definitely have an amazing tale to tell. We caught up with one half of team Tee Co., Jon Ogden, to get the scoop on their boutique.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Describe Tee Co. in a nutshell: what’s it all about and how did you get started?</b><br />
Tee Co. was started in 2013 with my brother, Rick. There was a gap in the market for independent UK artists being able to use their artistic talent to enter into the fashion industry.<br />
<br />
Ultimately the idea is that we help independent UK artists grow, gain new fans and give them a new source of income; they get a direct commission for every tee sold. Our aim is to nuture genuine artistic talent and create high quality, 100% ethical pieces. We have spent a lot of time making sure our product is right up there in terms of print quality, fabric feel and packaging with any of the top high street brands.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>You donate £1 for every tee you sell to charity as part of your Arts for Arts initiative, which is awesome! Aside from that just being an amazing thing to do, did something inspire you to give back in this way?</b><br />
We both wanted to have a social element to our business as we have both engaged in volunteer work in the past. We also loved the concept of how Warby Parker (the glasses retailer) had such a big impact in eyewear for developing countries. They were our inspiration for the Arts for Arts initiative.<br />
<br />
I travelled to Nepal in 2006 and since then I’ve felt a connection with the country. Simple things like good quality art supplies and art lessons are not readily available to little ones in Nepal like they are in the UK. We currently partner with <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Nepalorphanshome">Nepal Orphans Home</a></u>; we’re going to make our first donation later this year (we’re planning on making a contribution for a years’ supply of art equipment, which will be a huge achievement for my brother and I) before looking to work with some UK hospitals, too. We’re hopefully going to provide pro-bono art for hospital waiting areas. The cool thing with the Art for Arts initiative is it is going to be an evolving project. As we get bigger, we are going to be using the fund to do projects in other countries.<br />

<br />
<b>Tell us a bit about some of the artists you work with on prints for your boutique. </b><br />
Danny O'Connor of Liverpool has been one of the very original artists to collaborate with us. From the get go his <u><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/listing/t-shirts/opposites-attract-tee/2037502">Opposites Attract </a></u>design has been a best seller with orders from the US and Australia to date as well as the UK, of course.<br />
<br />
Birmingham-based Terrina Bibb brings to the table a really unique style on some popular culture themes such as her <u><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/listing/t-shirts/foxy-girls-limited-tee/2097170">FOXY tee</a></u> which is one of our summer must-haves.<br />
<br />
Also we have the mega talented Dom Allen from Manchester and he produces some of the very cool designs with a unique twist like his <u><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/listing/t-shirts/dot-of-oz-tee/2154535">Dot of Oz tee</a></u> - we love this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Got any dream future artist collabs in mind?</b><br />
There is so much awesome talent out there, we just want to work with amazing artists who like the idea of what we are trying to do. What's so great is the more established we've become, the more we’re naturally beginning to attract some great artists to who dig the ethos behind our brand. I'd say those are the people who are our dream collaborations rather than any specific artists.<br />
<br />
<b>What’s the five-year plan for Tee Co. Where do you see the brand heading in the near future?</b><br />
Right now is so exciting for us actually. We are in the middle of doing two big collaborations with well-known UK musicians: One is international DJ Yousef who asked us to collaborate with him on a small range of new t-shirt concepts for the launch of his new album CIRCUS X using the designs of Danny O'Connor. The other is with hip-hop alternative artist Bipolar Sunshine who is running a competition with us to design their next range of t-shirt for their summer tours.<br />
<br />
Moving forward we want to continue to use our Marketplace boutique to showcase our brand to a huge audience, with a view to maybe stocking in more places and maybe opening our own Tee Co. store one day. Watch this space…<br />

Alexa Chung at London Fashion Week is always a treat; Alexa Chung at London Fashion Week wearing two <u><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/peekaboo-vintage">Peekaboo Vintage</a></u> looks is just a dream!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>After picking out looks with Emily, Peekaboo’s owner, Alexa hit Saturday’s Browns Focus soirée in a vintage black 60s mini dress and orange faux fur stole, which she <u><a href="https://instagram.com/p/zUqPm0GoV6/?modal=true">'grammed last week</a>.</u> #maribou - we're all over it.<br />
<br />
Look #2 followed on Tuesday morning and involved a 70s print blouse and cropped, flared vintage Levi’s. Can you imagine?! No need to, here she is in both looks. Beauts, right?

<br />
Look no further than boho-street brand, <a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/nereus-london" target="_blank"><strong>Nereus London</strong></a> for unique kimonos and festival coats. They’ve got some seriously amazing 90s backpacks and accessories in store, too.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/never-fully-dressed" target="_blank"><strong>Never Fully Dressed</strong></a> never ever fail to pull it out of the bag when it comes to styling up your summer. Look them up for cute co-ords and dresses that’ll take you from backstage to beach. <br />
<br />

<br />
While we’re talking two-pieces, <a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/alice-takes-a-trip" target="_blank"><strong>Alice Takes a Trip</strong></a>’s co-ords will definitely make sure you stand out in the festival crowd. Their wild leopard twosie gets our vote.<br />

And finally, one for the boys: <a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/nemis" target="_blank"><strong>Nemis</strong></a>’ latest drop of bold graphic and paisley prints on tees, vests and shorts make festi-dressing a breeze. Shop, wear, then hit the main stage.

KENDALL CALLING – 1st-3rd August<br />
Located in the beautiful surroundings of the Lake District, <a href="http://www.kendalcalling.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>Kendall Calling</strong></a> is on a much smaller scale than some of the longer running stalwarts of festivaldom. We’re talking amazing music, food, setting and entertainment – all with of a good side order of vintage fashion. Their onsite market always has some great vintage sellers as well as a few new brands to boot. With some big-hitters already lined-up for this year (Example and 2ManyDJ’s to name but a few), we’ll certainly be heading to this one...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You could say Sam Greenberg’s history is vintage itself. He was my grandfather who I never knew as he passed away even before my dad met my mum. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sam’s father, Benjamin, arrived in London at the turn of the 20th century. Benjamin was tailor from Warsaw who arrived in London with nothing and began selling second hand clothing at Petticoat Lane market in the East End. From a young age Sam worked alongside him and in 1935 he opened a shop selling men’s second hand tailored clothing in Cable Street. With my dad they went into decades of wholesale after that with their own rag yard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sam Greenberg is now a new and very different business. When I started I wanted a brand name that kind of sounded like a designer but with a twist that reflected the heritage of an old East End Jewish tailor. People often think I must be Sam, but I’d never have been so egotistical as to name the business after myself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How did your obsession with all things vintage start? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

See above! You could say it’s a family affair and very much in my blood.</div>

<b>Can you tell us what you look out for when buying vintage?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made the decision a few years ago to make it a menswear brand as that was where our strengths lay. Any womenswear we sell is reflective of where we sell. We have our ASOS Marketplace boutique and concessions in high street stores. I’d say our customers are generally younger and into street fashion more than your typical vintage collector or aficionado, so we’re very fashion-led. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main thing we look for when buying vintage is great quality products with a sense of fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What is selling like hotcakes at the moment?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being a transitional time of year, lightweight jackets and sweats have been strong. Denim jackets seem to be having a comeback along with 90s patterned jackets - the crazier the print, the better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is continuing into summer with similar short sleeve shirts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also run the U.S. and European sportswear boutique <b><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/snap?oss_ss=1&tab=boutique" target="_blank">Back to Snap</a></b>, where shell track jackets, Champion sweatshirts and U.S. football and baseball sports jerseys have been flying. </div>

<b>Do you have a favourite era?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not really. In the same way we approach the buying, it’s more fun to just mix it up: vintage '50s Levi’s jeans with '60s classic Italian leather shoes, an '80s Champion reverse weave sweatshirt with a '90s Ralph Lauren button down on the top. I’m not really big on the '70s I guess!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Tell us about your typical working day!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is no such thing! One day/week I could be away buying. In the studio I have a good team to take care of things; the photography, uploading and customer fulfilment. After we’ve picked and packed what’s sold overnight, we send out orders every weekday to provide the quickest and best service possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also see what’s been selling well to pick out and style similar pieces for shooting, and to try to source more. After shooting I’ll always check and edit items, pictures, descriptions and prices before they go live. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We try to have new stuff to publish daily, so with that and the orders, customer enquiries and social media stuff it’s pretty busy!</div>

We’re based in Cricklewood, North West London. It's not the most glamorous location, especially as we’re in a road of lock-up car mechanic garages, but it works for us and keeps us grounded. The main thing is it’s a good space with great light and we’ve made it our own with bits and bobs we’ve picked up on our buying travels. The main thing I love about it is it’s close/far enough to run home!</div>

<i>Our Global Brand Scout Luke flew over to sunny Las Vegas to discover the best emerging talent at the bi-annual tradeshows – take a look at what he found…</i></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Las Vegas isn't the first place you think of when it comes to fashion, but twice a year some of the most exciting brands from around the globe gather to show and sell their collections at the trade shows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You’ll find three big shows on during trade show season: the first is Agenda, where lifestyle brands and streetwear collections converge, then there is Capsule, fusing the best high-end, progressive brands and independent designers, and finally Project, showcasing men’s and women’s advanced contemporary, premium denim and designer collections.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Agenda was definitely my favourite show of the week. The brands couldn’t have been more impressive and had real freshness to them. I found everything from streetwear to sportswear, skate and surf brands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqhHsbw1OfekRkc_hBcPjtM6g86vzwVljCGvGLRbBw3zwi7Ty7w7PCAPw_dZ60wObAp9gTGz7-mAzQja6XCvVfD1vGvfHZ5KVbV1JXAQOcdW6veEJe0sazLmaD2myX7wKiwSZewU-4k3u/s1600/lukediary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqhHsbw1OfekRkc_hBcPjtM6g86vzwVljCGvGLRbBw3zwi7Ty7w7PCAPw_dZ60wObAp9gTGz7-mAzQja6XCvVfD1vGvfHZ5KVbV1JXAQOcdW6veEJe0sazLmaD2myX7wKiwSZewU-4k3u/s1600/lukediary.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The buzz around the show was amazing too, with events and special installations happening all over the place; from in-house barbers, to a skateboard being planted through the windscreen of a police car (and Rebel 8 showcasing their new collection out of it’s boot!) You could also witness awards being presented from fashion magazines/blog slam x hype honouring the year’s best trainers and collaborations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Amazing clothes were everywhere at the shows, and not just from the brands showing there. I personally prefer to see what the guys and girls that run their own brands are wearing to give me an indication of the where the trends are moving, certainly more so than the catwalks. It turns out sportswear doesn't seem to be going anywhere in the near future; bomber jackets, mesh fabrications and basketball jerseys were worn by everyone. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tartan shoes were actually a gift from the designer, Cole Haan, as they are named after me: the CHELSEA pump! These shoes bring back some great memories – I wore them to DJ when I opened for Diplo at a party in New York. </div>

<b>How would you describe your attitude to wardrobe maintenance – do you like to have regular clear outs or are you an avid hoarder?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am a total hoarder; I’m really really bad at clearing out! I have just moved into new apartment with a walk-in wardrobe which I don’t think is going to help my hoarding ways! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Tell us the story behind the pieces you've donated!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My wardrobe’s like a timeline of emotions, experiences and memories. I have a special connection to the gold chunky necklace with rectangular links - I've worn it a few times. My stylist Cynthia sourced it for me and I wore it on stage at Bestival. It's a fantastic statement piece. I love it ...maybe I should keep that one?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How would you normally style it? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That necklace can make the simplest outfit look dressy and on trend, it is dramatic in the evening but also great to style up a plain boyfriend T-shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What does your wardrobe look like - full to the brim or edited down?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Particular! I am meticulous about how I keep my wardrobe. All my clothes and shoes have their place and I have regular clear outs - it's a good way to keep friends happy! </div>

<b>Paula:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What have you donated to the Marketplace Collective?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Numero uno is my leather Acne dress. I got it in Paris because I always tend to have a crisis when I'm there that my clothes aren't minimal or chic enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up are a pair of J Crew tartan trousers, which I still adore but they are ready for a new life as they are a bit big for me so I shall relent and say goodbye! I saw them online and fell in love. I normally have a cold weather, tweedy-punk moment around October and these trousers fit the bill, even though the only size left wasn’t mine - I clicked buy regardless! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Where you have worn these pieces?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Acne dress has served me well at a fashion soirée or two because, well, it's black and it's leather, which are always pretty safe bets when at these sort of things! I even wore it as a coat once when there was a drastic weather flip in Milan and I had, as usual, not packed accordingly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wore the J Crew trousers relentlessly for a month not wanting to give up on the dream of making them fit! That is until my mum told me she could see the top of my knickers when I sat down!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How do you style these pieces?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Acne dress is a great thing to wear from day to night. For a morning meeting I would team it with leggings and ankle boots and then switch to opaque tights and killer heels for night time activities!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the J Crew trews didn't fit me just right I wore them very low on my hips with a black vest, leather jacket and DMs. If they had been a bit tighter I would also have extended this to cap-sleeved red 50s-style jumpers and Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, like a Hollywood starlet on retreat to a Scottish castle - I hope someone will allow them to live out this fantasy!</div>

<b>Steve:</b> We are an online boutique selling vintage and reworked lines and we have recently started a small range of our own in house designs. We are based in Dalston, East London, and have been running for about 2 years now. In that time we've taken HOJ from a bit of a bedroom hobby to a full time business. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The team currently consists of 3 full timers. Jazz and I are the two directors and then we have recently had an amazing addition to our team, Jemma, our studio manager. We now couldn't live without her! We also have a crew of interns and models who are integral to the brands output.</div>

<b>How did your obsession with all things vintage start? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Jazz: </b>I suppose it all started back in the day when I used to go to Portabello at the age of around 15 with my mates. I loved the vintage there because you knew every piece had a story and was one of kind, making it even more special. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of my high street items can feel instantly out-dated after a month or so, whereas my favourite vintages pieces last for for years. I've never been a huge fan of fast high street fashion and I love the ethical/upcycling aspect of what we do by turning trash into treasure! </div>

<b>What do you look out for when buying vintage? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Steve:</b> We normally have a little team briefing on our way. What we look for is forever changing as we try to be as trend led as possible. Saying this, it can be dangerous to go with too many preconceptions of what you want to buy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyone who buys vintage wholesale will know you never know what you're going to get. If you arriving thinking, "right, I need 20 of this and 10 of that" but the stock just isn't there, you can end up buying things just for the sake of it. To try and not fall into this trap we have what we call the "Instatest". This means everything we buy has to be Instagrammable, if we wouldn't Instagram it we wouldn't buy it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>And what is selling like hotcakes at the moment? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Jazz:</b> It's quite hard to say at this time of year, with us being in between seasons. We have been shifting a crazy amount of sheepskins over the past few months but as we move into spring we're obviously not selling as many. On the vintage front our oversized checked dresses have been doing really well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In terms of our own label collection the best seller has been our <b><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/listing/dresses/zig-zag-batwing-dress-in-monochrome/1646448" target="_blank">monochrome zig zag dress</a></b> which people seem to love. </div>

<b>We can't get enough of Ernie, who has fast become the official HOJ mascot - does he love vintage as much as you guys? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Jazz:</b> He bloody loves it. Where ever we take him he always comes away with a little something. It's often pretty cold in the wholesale warehouses we go to so we always get an extra bit of knitwear to wrap him up in as we get our thrift on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

One place we went to in Birmingham gave him an actual mink collar with full head, hands and feet…which he destroyed after about 10 mins! </div>

<b>Tell us about your typical working day! </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Steve:</b> Creating a typical day is something we are actually trying to develop! With us being still a relatively small team we're constantly juggling everything between us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have a mini team chat at the start of each day, which is often dependent on the time our studio manager Jemma finally rolls in! She claims "if I try and be on time I turn up later" Subsequently we have just decided to change our working day to start at 10am...although we have told her 9:30am! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The day then consists of the getting the basics boxed off first, postage, customer service, ensuring we have enough content going live during the day etc etc. Once thats out of the way we all have our individual projects we are working on to grow and develop the business. This could be finalising the A/W '14 collection, developing new reworked lines, initiating new marketing plans - all sorts really. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We try to all have different areas we are in charge of and responsible to drive forward. </div>

This is hot of the press, but we are actually currently looking at retail spaces that can be the new HOJ HQ, that'll mean we have a shop and studio all under one roof…so we could be coming to a high street near you! (...if you live in East London) </div>

<b>Jazz:</b> DIG DEEP - whenever you think you have had enough going through a rail, or a bin or bail, just keep going. Whoever has been through it before you will have probably given up at a similar time, so there could be some absolute gems left at the bottom! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BE ON TIME - A lot of sale events have a start time…it sounds obvious but make sure you get there first. When we first started we would turn up late and a lot of the best bits had already been snapped up. We are often setting off at 4am from London to get up to a supplier up North in time for the opening! </div>

LOOK FOR YOUR NICHE - Try not and just follow what everyone else is selling or buying. Obviously don't ignore popular trends completely, but don't be afraid to try new things and develop your own brand's niche. </div>

Yep! For four weeks we're giving you the chance to purchase pieces from a few of our favourite stylish girls. The Marketplace Collective includes DJ and model Chelsea Leyland, Purple magazine's digital director Paula Goldstein, singer Delilah and the founder of WAH Nails, Sharmadean Reid.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the 10th of March you'll find a Miu Miu bag (bought with Sharmadean's first pay packet from WAH Nails!), a necklace worn on stage by Delilah at Bestival and a wardrobe full of other designer and high-street gems donated to our pop-up Boutique. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keep your eyes peeled for the boutique popping up in the next few weeks - all of the pieces are unique and are sure to sell fast, especially as all proceeds are going directly to <strong><a href="http://www.princes-trust.org.uk/" target="_blank">the Prince's Trust</a></strong>. </div>

Jason, founder of one of our biggest vintage boutiques, <b><a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/gone-retro?oss_ss=1&tab=all" target="_blank">Gone Retro</a></b>, spills on setting up a vintage shop and putting a personal stamp on it...</div>

<b>Tell us about Gone Retro! Who, where and when?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Gone Retro started in my bedroom in early 2010 as a bit on the side. I had no money when I arrived back from travelling and became hooked on the idea of selling vintage - I decided to take the plunge and go full-time midway through 2010.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It all came to life when I started selling silk and printed shirts before they were popular! I was importing them from America, hence our strap line 'selling silk to buy the milk', as that's all the business was making back then, enough to buy the milk!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>How did your obsession with all things vintage start?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've always liked old gear! I went to jumble and table top sales with my mum and nan from being about five years old - I used to get sent off with £1 to see what I could find. Even then I'd help my mum and nan find jumpers, and that was 23 years ago! </div>

<b>And what's selling like hotcakes at the moment?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Vintage shirts are still our strongest seller, but our own brand sheer front t-shirts and long sleeve tees also seem to be doing the trick!</div>

<b>You rework a lot of your vintage pieces - tell us about the process:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We rework as much as we can. We take a shirt and can make three items from it, so every item includes a piece of history.</div>

We have great team - somebody is always in early to get a head start on the day.

<b>Tell us about your store! Where is it and how have you made it your own?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our shop is in Stony Stratford, a town about ten minutes from the centre of Milton Keynes. It fits the bill pretty well, as the building is 600 years old.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was an absolute mess when I moved in - I slept in the shop for the first few weeks on a sofa as I didn't have time to sort out the rest of the building. It's difficult, but I've tried to give it a old school look with the check floor and brick wallpaper, which I may have got a bit carried away with as it's everywhere aside from the bathroom! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I built everything in the shop, including the counter. We get a lot of comments from people about how cool the shop is. We have three rooms and we try to make each of them different. One is full of vintage, another houses our own brand, and the front room is a total mix, but we are very quickly running out of space!</div>

<b>We'd love it if you could share a few top tips for hunting down quality vintage!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just buy things I would wear, and the fact that people like them is overwhelming!</div>

<b>Why did you decide to set up shop on Marketplace?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started off selling as an individual, trying to earn some extra cash on the side, but as things picked up and got busier I upgraded to a boutique. I was super happy when I got accepted by the team as I think ASOS Marketplace is a successful and prestigious platform.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>How long have you been selling?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I’ve been selling on the site for nearly three years - I upgraded to a boutique in March 2012. </div>

<b>How much have you sold since you started up?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I’ve sold thousands of pieces over the last few years, and I’m now making a comfortable wage for myself. Anything I don’t use I invest back into the business or towards the in-house collection I’m designing at the moment. I’ve also been lucky enough to pay for quite a few holidays over the years, as well as business trips abroad and within the UK. </div>

<b>Describe your personal style...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My personal style changes quite frequently - I look at fashion a bit like fancy dress. Depending on my mood, I could be dressing completely differently to how I did yesterday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b><b>Do you have any tips for other students selling on the platform?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make sure your photography is up to scratch, this is really important for new sellers. Make sure you style the items well; I personally style outfits how I'd wear them that day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I couldn’t have made my brand what it is without social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Advertising through this can be crucial when making sales!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><b>How long have you been together? </b></span><br />
Coming up to 18 months now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How did you meet? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kyrsty: We went to school together, but never actually spoke! We met through friends at a quaint pub on a summer's day in Leo's home town of Maldon. We went halves on a jug of Pimms and the rest they say is history!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Kyrsty – Describe Leo's style:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would say Leo's style is very urban-grunge. He wears very relaxed colours and you will rarely see him without a beanie on! He bought his first pair of Dr Martens this week so I think he's slowly turning more and more grunge...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>And Leo – do you have a favourite outfit of Kyrsty's? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would say my favourite winter outfit of hers is her grey acid wash spray on skinnies & vintage Liz Claiborne wool shirt. I bought her this amazing vintage leather bomber from Camden market which I also love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's great about working together?</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kyrsty: We love buying together wherever we go! We spent the summer in Ibiza together which is where we got a lot of inspiration, there's so much culture across the island and it was amazing to see the diversity of style. We also love seeing the boutique grow every week and planning new, exciting ventures for the future. Our styles aren't always the same but thats what makes our boutique so diverse!</div>

<b></b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How long have you been together? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Two years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How did you meet? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Miguel: I was sat at the back of the bus on a wet and chilly day when I spotted someone who challenged all my ideals of fashion. The bright colours Sophia was wearing brought a ray of sunshine to my rather dull day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I felt compelled to say something but couldn’t construct a cool enough icebreaker, and besides she was stood near the front of the door on this packed bus. I thought, if she gets off at my stop then I must say something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time was limited, and I had literally seconds to say hello before we went our separate ways. At this point I felt no connection between my brain and my mouth so what came out sounded like gibberish. I told her that I was a photographer, expressed how I admired her fashion sense and how I would love to take photos of her - kind of ironic hey? “I hate photos”, she replied. Not knowing what else to say I reached for my wallet and said, "Well if you ever consider it, take my card”. Unfortunately I had no more cards left - what are the chances?! Thankfully she replied, "Well take my card, I’m a graphic designer - contact me if you need one". Happy days! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Sophia – Describe Miguel's style:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would describe Miguel's style as innovative geek. He creates a unique style by combining his love of geeky bow ties and specs with his passion for anything quirky and unique. He isn't afraid of injecting a bit of colour and pattern into his everyday attire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b></b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>And Miguel – do you have a favourite outfit of Sophia's? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's hard to pick a favourite outfit of Sophia’s because she has the ability to bring life to some of the most unfashionable items of clothing. If I had to pick it would be her vintage blue and white jumpsuit. This is one of her more recent buys which she was planning to sell, but as I was so fond of it I convinced her to keep it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's great about working together?</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sophia: Miguel is very experimental and creative with his ideas regarding location and perspective. At times I like to rush photoshoots and focus purely on capturing the beauty of the garment, but Miguel encourages me to consider the overall look. While we both have different strengths and ideas, we also have a similar vision, which combined makes for a great photo shoot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Miguel: Working together is effortless because it embodies my original vision on the day I met Sophia. My vision was on point, in that I imagined this beautiful person would be a joy to take photos of. Working together means we’re both doing something we enjoy which creates a tighter bond in our relationship. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How long have you been together? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've been together for just over two years now...although it sometimes feels like longer! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How did you meet? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jazz: Steve likes to tell everyone we met on OkCupid, but we actually first met about six years ago in Leeds whilst at uni. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Steve – Describe Jazz's style! </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It all depends on the time of day really. Daytime is always <i>noir</i>, she loves a black on black ensemble. In the evening she's effortlessly glam. I'm not sure if thats a 100% accurate description - but she always looks tidy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>And Jazz – do you have a favourite outfit of Steve's?</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not really. Someone call Gok Wan and sort him out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's great about working together? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Steve: Well not only do I not get to wear the trousers at home, I can't wear them to work either! Just joking! We haven't really been asked that before to be honest, we normally get "how do you not throttle each other?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I suppose at times we take it for granted that we get to spend so much time together. We have a proper laugh most days and it's amazing to have such support from a business partner. It's great when we do take a step back and look at what have achieved together in getting HOJ to where it is today. </div>
