"THRIFT ADVISOR succeeds on many levels. From its name - and the clever feeling of branding that comes with this - to its discerning command of the features, interviews, illustrations and graphics that collectively give it such a strong identity. All of the writing within Thrift Advisor is impeccably realised and supported by excellent, wide-ranging research. Consequently, a genuine love of fashion and story-telling emerges from its pages, and the inclusion of rare archive photographs only adds to the overall attention to detail and authenticity of this project.”

- James Anderson, formerly i-D Fashion Features editor
