I have had a love affair with vintage clothing since I was a teenager. When I toured the states and travelled to Europe I collected vinyl and vintage clothes. After lugging everything back with me from my travels I had to rent a storage space for my ever growing collection. I studied film at Humber College and York University and I became an art director in film and television. After several years I decided a new career path was in order and I answered an ad in the newspaper. It simple stated " Do you want to be a vintage clothes buyer?" It had hearts and peace signs all around it and a single phone number. I was pretty excited, my dream job! I wore my best vintage duds and met up with the founder of Kensington Market in Toronto. I got the job immediately and was trained for over a year. I learned all the trade secrets! I began picking for big stores across the States and Japan. I took over the Canadian division of this company and soon stores I was picking for were being awarded for best vintage clothes selection. I quickly realized I wanted to open up my own shop. One year later I opened up the Mad Gypsy in a beautiful little polish neighbourhood on the west side of Toronto. After eight wonderful years I closed its doors and launched Rock This Vintage. I hope you enjoy my selection x
