"If I have an hour in a city, I go to vintage stores first because it's so much cooler to find a piece that is unique. I love the thought of some girl having worn it before and living her life in it"

In this quote, model and photographer Helena Christensen reveals her love for vintage stores and the excitement of discovering a special piece. She describes that if she only has an hour in a city, she will focus on visiting vintage shops due to the fact that the items there have a special quality that can not be discovered in contemporary shops. Christensen discovers it amazing to picture the history behind each piece and the previous owner who may have worn it and lived their life in it. This includes a personal and emotional touch to the clothes, making it more significant and special to her.
