‘Fargo’ Fashion: How Laura Okita and Manhattan Vintage Clothing Mined TV for Couture

Walking into the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show, a bazaar of more than 80 vendors held in the cavernous Metropolitan Pavillion on a cold February Friday afternoon, felt like traveling back in time. Maybe it was the David Bowie tribute that greeted perusers as they entered: Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie figures draped in the legendary singer’s iconic apparel—including an off-the shoulder Japanese dragon ship top and a ripped wool sweater by Kansai Yamamoto, a rainbow-colored Technicolor robe from the Aladdin Sane period, and a feathered “third eye” headpiece—curated by Boardwalk Empire’s costume designer Lisa Padovani. Maybe it was all the Bakelite, bell-bottoms and high-wasted rompers. Or maybe it was the posters for this year’s exhibit, titled “New York, 1979,” taken by former model-turned-blogger-slash-photographer Laura Okita, of PaperMothballVintage.com, which drew inspiration from the extraordinary second season of FX’s show Fargo.
