In Uni (At Kingston University, London) we got the chance to look up close to some great vintage garments, i have collected vintage garments for a few years now, i shall have to do some posts dedicated to my collection, i collect wearable, and unwearable items!!
It was like being in a vintage store or market without rumaging through all the rubbish they thats gets called 'vintage' these days. It is definately more expensive to buy vintage then it was, but i think it will change around soon, as it is costly to buy vintage and alot of it falls apart when you wear it.
For me i feel its important to take inspiration from the new and thrive on finding shape and colour through art, architecture and the world around you! But i think its important to look at vintage for the way it is beautifully made and structured.
looking at pockets, fastening, and inside the garment at construction is a way of incorporating some vintage in designs, as alot of clothes have lost this craftmenship these days.
