Six months ago, when Prada and Gucci simultaneously began drawing from vintage looks of the 1970's, putting epaulet jackets and maxi proportions on their runways, Giorgio Armani had a great idea.
He said designers interested in flea-market clothes shouldn't bother producing samples; they should just put the old clothes on the runway, and see if buyers placed orders. "They'd save even more money that way," he said.
Mr. Armani had a point. But what works at Prada and Gucci are the stringent points of view of the houses' designers. The esthetics of Miuccia Prada and Tom Ford are so strong that their clothes cannot be written off as flea-market finds.

Even though Prada and Gucci will not be adding true vintage but only inspired fashion with their label to the collections.. Free People and Urban Outfitters do sell true vintage:
