To Vintage or Not to Vintage
I’m actually very fed up of the word Vintage being thrown around recklessly. Today was just the final straw when I overheard this statement in a conversation between two individuals, “I bought this vintage scarf from H&M and some other vintage bag from peackocks.” Just to elaborate, vintage in regards to clothing means clothing that is originally from another era. So this item of clothing would have been previously worn and probably belonged in an era that is not the present. A piece of clothing passed down from your grandmother which she owned when she was 18 is vintage, a scarf, made in columbia last month, brand new and purchased from H&M is certainly not vintage. If an item of clothing looks vintage then its just that, it looks vintage or has a vintage feel…that will be all. On that subject some wonderful vintage pictures I came across today….
Whilst on the vintage subject, this lady was and still is a personification of the word vintage, she is none other than Audrey Hepburn. Best known for her role in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Audrey as well as being a very talented actress was also a humanitarian. She worked for UNICEF since the 1950’s and this was as a result of spending her childhood in Netherlands during the second World War. Its nice to see that once upon time, celebrities used their publicity for good causes for genuine reasons and not for personal benefit…..and did I mention how beautifull a woman she was…
aaaawwwwww look at the young audrey…
Keep it uju people.
