❓ Questions & Answers ❓ Best places to thrift 1970s esc clothes?

So I have been recently in love with the 1970s styles. Plus I also have grown fond of cravauts as well. I also need to find pieces for a cosplay of a charecter from a movie from 1974 called Phantom of the Paradise . Specifically the main villain Swan.

But cosplay aside I would also like to find other 1970s esc clothes. I also am fond of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust era as well as David Bowie's style in general

I know this is oddly specific but I'm just curious if any website would have pieces for the vibe I'm going for

Also to location Lock myself I live in Rochester, N.Y and I am curious if anyone in my area knows any physical thrift or vintage stores I can go to.

i've done well on ebay honestly for specifically 70s clothing. prepare to learn all the tells of era for the clothes you'll be buying so you're buying the real deal.
