Vintage Fashion
Express yourself through the decades
Fashion design, throughout history has turned to previous eras for
inspiration.
Vintage clothing retains and increases in value due to the fact
that it is genuinely from a past era. Vintage clothing allows the buyers
to be their own designers because they can choose the different styles
from second-hand clothing. In addition, authentic garments are made one
at a time, with enough attention to detail to create an item that has
long lasting value. Garments closely resembling original vintage
clothing are mass-produced, for the most part, in China. An example of
this is the simple slip dresses that emerged in the early 1990's, a
style that resembles a 1930's design, but upon examination will show
that it only superficially resembles the real thing. These styles are
generally referred to as “vintage style”, “vintage inspired” or
“vintage reproductions”. They serve as a convenient alternative
to those who admire an old style but prefer a modern interpretation.
People who wear vintage clothing look for designer brands and limited
edition products to fit in the “vintage” category.
