  • New fashion in Berlin: The White Market
    Berlin cannot be compared with London, New York, Milan or Paris in terms of fashion. Indeed, it is the city’s fascinating  history that has helped to shape Germany’s unique style. The fall of the Berlin wall 20 years ago has since meant that two separate societies have collided to create a fresh cultural identity and since then, fashion in the capital has...

  • My Vintage Life: I am the Resurrection
    They say if you’ve lived in a city for 8 years then you can class yourself as a local. So if this is the case, then I guess I would be called a scouser? However, style wise, do I want to be? In the sixties Liverpool was known as a city at the heart of trend setting and style. Yet these days, from an outsider’s point of view, Liverpool style is viewed as over done,...

  • Top tips for buying vintage!
    1. Serious devotees and bargain hunters buy at auctions and house clearances - you are much more likely to find real treasure - but these tend to take place during office hours making them fairly inaccessible to most shoppers. 2. Don’t worry too much if there are buttons missing, these can always be replaced by your drycleaner or tailor. 3. Rips and tears are harder...

  • The ins and outs of Vintage clothing
    A vintage lovely can so easily become a retro mistake. Walking into a jumble sale and decking yourself out in head to toe 80’s and 90’s does not mean you understand vintage shopping. It will not make you cool, despite what the legions of identikit 80’s Madonna tributes walking around Hoxton might like to think. Nor is dressing in head to toe fifties...

  • The recessionista’s new best friend? Vintage!
    In the current climate of financial distress and eco-conscious concern, consumers are turning their backs on disposable fast-fashion and investing in classic, dependable items that will stand the test of time.

  • Retro Rehab: Vintage clothing gems in Manchester
    Stylish vintage treasures are hard to find, that’s why we love them. But you know what it’s like….you go into a vintage store and trawl through rails and rails of lime green cat suits and unspeakably bad 80s ball gowns and find not a thing.

  • Shop Nasty Gal Vintage
    Nasty Gal Vintage was always my vintage go-to on eBay when I wanted something original, on-trend, and in great condition. Selling only the very best vintage wares, they got it right every time. So imagine my dismay when I logged on one day to discover Nasty Gal Vintage was no longer….on eBay. Yes, fear not my friends, NGV have simply relocated to a bigger, better platform...
