What is vintage fashion?



The term vintage fashion describes second hand or sometimes never worn garments from another era. The beauty of vintage fashion is that it encompasses clothing and accessories from the 1920's to the 1980's, meaning not only is there a huge choice of styles but each item has its own story.

The popularity of vintage clothing has increased massively over the past few years, with numerous celebrities like Kate Moss embracing the trend. As a result of this, vintage items are far more easily accessible with many vintage shops opening on the high street and online.

With the revival of subcultures such as Swing and Rockabilly vintage is, for some people, a lifestyle choice.
