Flying A applies the adage “something old, something new” to fashionable clothing. Mixing vintage stock with contemporary attire, this Danish shop has built its business on catering to a crowd that prefers downtown cool over Soho couture. Women can match up a Technicolor Pucci-esque print dress from the seventies with a pair of pink Spitfire aviators; men might go for a pair of Nudie blue jeans complemented by an old tourist T-shirt from Sin City. Whatever the gender, shoppers can then anchor their new timeless looks with a pair of one-of-a-kind, broken-in boots that already posses those coveted “accidental” scuffs. — Aaron Rasmussen
