When creating a jewelry collection, Ms. Repossi said she often looks at vintage clothing and accessories to channel a &#8220;vibe, a spirit, a shape.&#8221; Which means she&#8217;s always on the hunt for Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel pieces, but she also likes things from as far back as the 1930s, like a brown lace dress with a simple ruffle around the hem. To create her personal style, which she described as &#8220;strict,&#8221; she often mixes vintage and more current designer pieces, many of them menswear-inspired, a practice that has made her a favorite on fashion-centric websites like GaranceDore.fr and WhoWhatWear.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1st Stop \/ Neila Vintage &#038; Design<br \/>\n28, rue du Mont Thabor 33-1-42-96-88-70<br \/>\nMs. Repossi started shopping at Neila a couple of years ago after she discovered it on her way to her office on the Place Vend\u00f4me. Owner Neila Jaziri is known for housing a well-edited collection, including cast-offs from Parisian clotheshorses like Catherine Deneuve. The museum-like store had a glass case containing a blue quilted handbag formerly owned by Ms. Deneuve, from one of Coco Chanel&#8217;s last collections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the haute couture store Didier Ludot, Ms. Repossi saw a black Chlo\u00e9 dress from 1969 and tried it on. She admired the silver beading around the neck and sleeves, and deemed the price, 800 Euro, to be excellent for a dress in such pristine condition. Her eye also gravitated toward a trumpet-shaped camel coat (\u20ac1,000) by Philippe Venet, a 1960s couturier who made clothing for Jacqueline Kennedy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To get further information from this fashionista and to discover all four of her favorite vintage shops, click on the source below.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748704893604576200684019805992.html\" title=\"SOURCE\">SOURCE<\/a><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jewelry designer Gaia Repossi gives a tour of her favorite vintage shops in the City of Light.
