In the land of glitz and glam, costume designer Molly Rogers sources the richest vintage spots.

We all lust for the vivid, luxe vintage pieces that color such iconic large- and small-screen fashion gems as Sex and the City, Ugly Betty, and The Devil Wears Prada. From brilliant kaftans to quirky accessories, costume designer Molly Rogers knows a good vintage find when she sees it, and the very best places to score them in Miami. “Pat [Field] and I used to take the Palm Beach County yellow pages and just get in the car and one by one go into each vintage store listed.” See her favorite stops and shops in this guide to Miami vintage shopping.
