What happens when two street market dealers turn a love of vintage into one of the most respected fashion archives in the world?
In this episode, Andrew Olah sits down with Doug Gunn and Roy Luckett, the co-founders of The Vintage Showroom, a London-based archive and consultancy that has quietly shaped the way global fashion houses think, shop, and design. From rainy mornings at Portobello Market to curating workwear exhibitions in Hong Kong, Doug and Roy share how they built a private, by-appointment showroom filled with rare military, utility, and denim pieces, each one steeped in story and intent.
This is not just a conversation about vintage. It is about how good taste, long-term trust, and the thrill of the find still matter in an industry that often forgets its roots. Whether they are sourcing for a fashion house or welcoming students into their four-floor archive, Doug and Roy prove that inspiration is best delivered in person, and that legacy is something you build one garment at a time.
Guests: Doug Gunn & Roy Luckett, co-founders of The Vintage Showroom.
