Corset Envy
Every time I see someone really pull off a corset I find myself in a relentless suffering of ‘Corset Envy’. I proceed to travel into a daydream about how I would wear it, teaming it up with pencil skirt or jeans? Layered over fifties dress or worn chest bare for an evening of frivolity.
So, I [...]

Quite Contrary – Question and Answer

Question and Answer: College Fashion
How old were you when you started to love fashion?
I have always loved fashion – as a kid I was always doodling dress designs in my notebooks and playing dress-up. But I didn’t really know so much about designers or the fashion industry until my senior year of high school when I lived with my [...]

The 90s
Oh my goodness, would you believe it. It seems after only a short season dominated and inspired by 80s clothes, fashion journalists and trend analysists are already predicting a shift towards the 90s. Although the 80s trend will undoubtedly remain a steadfast feature of the highstreet for the near future, the indicators are already there [...]

Lucile
A side-step from my usual ramblings about the trend for 80s clothes, I thought I’d blog about something a little more vintage.
The Victoria & Albert Museum have just published a book of archive material from original Edwardian fashion designer Lady Duff Gordon, also known as ‘Lucile’. From the 1890s – 1930s, Lucile controlled a vast [...]

The 40s
The interesting thing about our current love of everything 80s is that, back then, fashion had its own vintage trend – the 1940s.
During that era, fashion was far more utilitarian. Given that war dominated half the decade and women were encouraged to make-do-and-mend, its easy to see how fashion reflected the sobriety of the time. [...]

The Suit Jacket
In current fashion, a key feature of the 80s trend is undoubtedly the double-breasted, broad shouldered suit jacket. This remains an iconic look from the 1980s, first popularised by the 1980 Richard Gere film, ‘American Gigolo’.
The costumes for this film were designed by Georgio Armani. For Gere’s character, he made sharply tailored suits with shoulders [...]

The 80s
So first up, the trend for 80s clothes. When veteran French label Balmain unveiled their Spring/Summer 09 collection, they basically opened a gaping void in the time-space continuum and sent the Western world back to the 80s (no one seems to mind though). In fact, the trend has been taken up by other similarly influencial [...]

Hello Vintage Votaries
Hi all. From now on, I’ll be blogging about the delights of vintage clothes. As an avid vintage hunter myself, with the eyes of a magpie and the claws of an eagle, I hope to use my experience to bring some erudite, thoughtful debate to the table. However, I may also bring some ridiculous fraff. [...]
