Rodnik performing their standout dancemove complete hit 'Russian Fire Burn' to a crowd of less than ten people outside the Comme des Garcons store in Paris. I believe the gold dress that Lily (the girl on the right) is wearing was a bit of a buyer's hit. Sing it everybody 'Russian. Fire. Burn. Rising from the ashes. Bringing back the fashion!'
Rodnik performing 'How to be lovely' at The Box, New York with the models wearing their SS08 collection and looking a little perplexed as to what is going on behind them....

Liz...no not me...liz, the other treasure hunter
Taken from TheCoveted:
Meet Liz, she’s a modern day treasure hunter, or a vintage wholesaler. She goes around the country searching high and low for vintage pieces you and I covet and sells them to boutiques, so we don’t have to do the digging. Yes, she has one of those cool jobs, like ice cream taster, you only dream about having. Gosh, a professional thrifter, and traveler. Recently she’s landed accounts with California Vintage, but she’s been supplying vintage boutique like Verunica and Marmalade for years.

What caught my eye about Liz’s treasure hunting, was about a year ago, I was looking through the internet, and found The Goods!. The approach to vintage was completely different from what I’ve seen before, and was used to looking at it in a more conventional way where the clothes are musky, thick itchy fabrics in boxy cuts crammed in a dark shop with weird mannequins. The Goods! had fresh looking items, with a more urban twist. I had been inspired by vintage shoppes like Fruition in Las Vegas and the Claw Money’s vintage inspired clothing line, and noticed a new movement in recycled/reappropriated fashion.
It was such a delight to meet with her to find out how she got her start in treasure hunting. She was born into it. Her grandmother worked at the Salvation Army in downtown Oakland, and her mother was an Antiques dealer. Searching for hidden treasures at garage sales and flea markets was a family pastime, which is why she’s able to detect something good when she sees it. For a while she worked in fashion design, but found that her roots were calling her, and decided to give it a try. Five years later she’s still doing it, and loves her life. She’s my hero. It’s people like her, who follow just follow their dreams, work hard to make it happen are the ones who let us know that anything is possible.
