The following pages are the interviews about people who choose vintage. The editor give the questions such as why they choose vintage, what's special of vintage, Do you feel reject about vintage because they are second hand.

After reading their interviews, these people from every level of the society. Their status are different. Some of them are designers, some of them are students, others are photographers. But all of them mention the most important reason that they chose Vintage: Everyone want the fashionable clothes, but in Shanghai, almost all stylish clothing are expensive. Their lower incoming level can't afford these brand-named products. And the vintage that you can found unique-styled products in acceptable prices.
