Hi Bry, I love your articles, I was just wondering if you could tell me more about your vintage dissertation ? I’m really interested as I’m currently doing a MA in Fashion Marketing and Communication and have decided to do my dissertation on vintage clothing as I love it too! My working title is the ‘Impact of vintage clothing on the fashion industry and can wearing vintage clothing make the wearer and individual?’ I think I’m going to be focusing more on the individualism aspect of wearing vintage and was basically wondering if there was any key pieces of work you think I should look at, there is a distinct lack of academic work on vintage clothing! And whether it would be possible to send you some questions as I’m planning to send some questions out to vintage bloggers, as I need more work for my dissertation and primary research is a way to go about this!
Thank you
Vicks

It is difficult to give the dress color, but blue and clear sea providing color really looks great

I just happened to come across your blog. Nice posts. I like this one very much. They are more content oriented than the usual ones you find these days. And the best part is the simplicity in your posts and the language you use in them. I have added you to my favorites. And I will continue to pay frequent visits to your blog. Expecting more such quality stuff from you. Carry on !

This is delightful. I can’t wait to explore your blog. I’m writing a paper on Digby Morton and I read this: “In 1963 Morton began designing menswear, an area that had always appealed to him—he had personally adopted the neo-Edwardian style so fashionable for men in the 1950’s.” I was stunned to realize instantly that they, without actually naming it, were referring to Teddy Boys. This was the furthest thing from my mind, which was firmly in a CC41 mindset. I went off on a Teddy Boy-Mods & Rockers tangent which led me here. Thanks!

There is a substantial difference between leather jackets made for fashionable purposes and those worn for protection (in activities such as motorcycle riding).

Interesting article. I’d like to point out that Elizabeth Taylor was born in 1932. That photo is probably from the late 1950s. The hairstyle and the dress are 1950s, not 1940s.

I love that ‘achingly cool’ picture of the 40s coats!

Probably because I have the original, which I uploaded to flickr in 2006:

Hi Rose, Im glad you found the blog helpful. Its a pretty interesting subject. I didn’t touch too much on women/girls in subcultures too much in my research but I can recommend a couple of books/films that I found really helpful.

Palmer, Alexandra and Clark, Hazel (Eds). (2005)
Old Clothes, New Looks: Second Hand Fashion.

McCracken, Grant David. (1988)
Culture And Consumption: New Approaches to the Symbolic Character of Consumer
Goods and Activities.
Chapter: One: The Making Of Modern Consumption.
Indiana University Press

British Style Genius: Loud and Proud – The Street Look.
(Originally aired 9:00pm Tuesday 4th November 2008)
Richard Coyle and various contributors.
BBC2 (60 mins)

That last BBC documentary especially, talked about Teddy Boys and Girls so it might be worth a look. The other two books are more about subcultures in general but you might find something relevant. Good luck!!
