“I kinda let the algorithm take me on a journey,” Emma Chamberlain says. She’s referring to her slow-and-steady process of shopping for vintage online. “The internet—it is a mess. It is toxic, but I’m gonna use the algorithm to my benefit, if I can.”
When her schedule allows it, however, the podcaster and businesswoman loves to shop in person. She reveals some of her favorite places to do just that on this Tuesday’s episode of The Run-Through, with guest hosts Margaux Anbouba and Christian Allaire.
“When I’m in New York, Chinatown,” Chamberlain says, shouting out James Veloria. “But also all the little shops up in that little shopping center.”
At home in Los Angeles, Chamberlain has one hotspot she keeps going back to: the Rose Bowl Flea Market. “It’s so wonderful and it’s massive and it’s so overwhelming, but it’s cool,” says Chamberlain. “It feels very LA, and it’s all in one place.”
When she finds just the thing, Chamberlain isn’t one for haggling—she does quite the opposite, in fact. “I am a tipper,” she explains. “I’m just so grateful I found it. I’m like, take the full price. Here’s also an extra $10. I’m just so lucky. I don’t want to buy something unless I’d pay more for it than it’s worth.”
This May, Chamberlain will be back on Vogue’s Met Gala carpet as Vogue’s special correspondent, a post she’s held for several consecutive years. “I don’t expect anything. Every year I’m like, ‘This could be the last year,’” she says. “I am so grateful that I’ve ever been able to do it.”
Also on this episode, Vogue Runway’s Irene Kim and producer Alex Jhamb Burns take listeners inside the second annual Vogue Vintage Market this past Saturday. The pair spoke to folks in the line—some of whom had been waiting for hours—about the vintage pieces they coveted… and what they ultimately walked out the door with.
