Vintage shopping can be a pleasurable experience, especially when you stumble upon that special one of a kind piece. However, before spending your hard earned money on that all important investment its advisable to arm yourself with knowledge. For valuable advice, it doesn’t get better than vintage expert, and Creative Consultant for YOOX, Holly Brubach. Holly has served as Style Editor at The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker and was also Director of the Prada Sport and Home. She is currently a contributing editor for Vanity Fair and acted as a curator to select each piece in the Yoox.com Dior Vintage Sale which goes live on June 4th. Here, Holly shares her tips on shopping for vintage…

1. When wearing vintage today, the first rule of thumb is: not head-to-toe.  It’s important to mix vintage with contemporary, to integrate the old with the new in a way that doesn’t call too much attention to the vintage item(s), just as an antique chair can become part of a modern room.  Concentrate on the whole effect and not on a single piece.  Many people treat vintage too formally, maybe because it’s “precious.”  But one great way to make it seem completely timely is to pair it with jeans.

I’m an avid fan of award winning fashion journalist, Hadley Freeman, she isn’t afraid to say exactly what she thinks and I either find myself in full agreement or total disagreement of her opinions (there’s never a grey area). As Deputy Fashion Editor at The Guardian and contributing editor for British Vogue, Hadley knows fashion like the back of her hand. Her latest book The Meaning of Sunglasses is a brilliant A-Z of fashion and style and she’s also the writer responsible for Victoria Beckham’s book “That extra half an inch“… but we won’t hold that against her!
