"Yesterday I headed into Dallas with my mom to pick up some things at Antiques Moderne - it's one of our favorite vintage furniture stores.
Mom snapped my outfit while we looked around... I wore a vintage band
jacket with a Quail tee, J Brand cargo pants, and Givenchy patent pink
pumps"

DALLAS DECORUM
I have been enamored with this showroom for months since I stumbled upon it as it is only a block down from my offices in the Dallas Design District. Antiques Moderne has taken Mid-Century modern design and made it accessible to Dallasites...they can barely keep the items on the floor, many selling
within an hour of a post or email newsletter
"As I browsed the floor I noticed tags attached to numerous pieces; "HOLD"
... "SOLD" ... "SOLD" ... "WAITING FOR PICKUP". Furniture was leaving
almost as fast as it was coming in. Time to merchandise and make the
showroom "pretty" just wasn’t an option. Even John’s fabulous photo
shoot area/studio had disappeared into a sea of Mid Century Eclectomania. The only recognizable space was his
desk; covered in unusual vintage objects"
"Antiques Moderne Brings Fab Finds Back to the Future. The relative newcomer to Riverfront Boulevard has become the GO-TO shop in Dallas for Mid-Century furniture and accessories"
"We knew this
one was going to be good by the number of breathy phone calls and
swooning e-mails that came in before we could even discover it for
ourselves ... Dallas' A-List designers and decorators routinely trawl the
isles." Rob Brinkley
