Dawn O'Porter's pick of vintage clothes shops

Beyond Retro, Brick Lane

It's so cheap, but rammed with goodies. I get lost in there for hours and always come out with bagfuls.

William Vintage, London

This is where I shop for high-end designer pieces. William Banks-Blaney dresses a lot of people for red carpets so it's where I go for really special outfits. I have bought Courrèges and Ossie Clarke from him and he is known for sourcing highly collectable clothes and accessories.

Juno Says Hello

I love this British website. Its dresses are gorgeous and very well selected from all over the world. It's not cheap – usually around £150 for a dress – but great for events and special occasions.

Stella Dallas, New York, NY

Tons of gorgeous dresses and separates and a good price range. A small shop, but jammed.

The Rosebowl Flea Market, Pasadena, CA

One of the biggest flea markets in the world, held on the second Sunday of every month. Row upon row of stalls selling everything from old billiard tables to vintage dresses. It is total heaven.
