Vintage Misconceptions - vintage isn't modern

Many people think that vintage clothing is "old fashioned" - I very often hear comments like " I will look like my granny" or that "it's frumpy" but that is not the case. At the end of the day vintage clothes are just clothes and can be worked with a modern feel.

Designers are always drawing inspiration from the past so what better way to stay "on trend" with original items that were the inspiration??

Editors, celebrities and fashion insiders are always mixing vintage with designer and high street pieces creating a modern and stylish look.
