All things vintage have seen a huge popularity increase over the last couple of years. Our monthly clothing budget may have decreased but we're looking on the bright side and getting creative; mixing designer with highstreet with vintage and best of all adding our own unique customisation.
I was hit with an overwhelming buzz of pure fashion love, addiction and even a whisper of "look at what I'm wearing" at the vintage fair last Sunday. So check out who impressed me with their style at the event.
Even while vintage shopping you can still follow this seasons key trends. Designers of today are constantly influenced by designers of the past. While routing through the rails I found a divine navy floral jumpsuit - and I'm wondering why I didn't bring it home - it would have made a perfect addition to my Summer wardrobe and you've guessed it soooo on trend. I did however purchase a indigo denim quilted bag which will definately be a extremely mixable piece for me not just for this season.
I also stumbled upon some amazing designer bargains at A&E Vintage/Retro's stand my fav being a Chloe Wool Wrap Coat at an unbelievable 200 Euro, the colour - stunning!! I watched lots of people of all shapes and heights try it on....fab on everyone. Another eye catcher was a very wearable dress by 1960's designer icon Pierre Cardin, if I remember correctly this piece was selling for 70 Euro. A big thanks to Edwina for letting me take some pics and for my gorgeously denim bargin bag.
This was my second vintage fair experience and I truely recommend it to all fashion lovers/addicts. This event is returning in October so watch out for your Chiconomics Email nearer the time for all the details.
