More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
The vintage look is everywhere. Not only in the pages of fashion magazines and in special in-store departments but on the backs of models, actresses, and celebrities. Vintage is not only 'now' but 'forever'. From a pair of second-hand battered Levis to a Chanel jacket, women have realized that nothing says style quite like an original. And it's a look that can suit women of all ages, sizes, and incomes. How to choose it. You will learn how to discern the age, whether faults can be repaired, if a garment will fit without your trying it on, whether an item is worth purchasing in the first place and if it's a real bargain. Knowing what to look for on a label and a familiarity with the great names in fashion at the time can ensure you get long-term value for money. How to wear it has plenty of ideas for mixing vintage with contemporary clothes, for wearing vintage for special occasions, and for creating a top-to-toe look. And, if you've not the right figure for vintage, how to adapt it so you can look as fabulous as Julia Roberts did in her Valentino.Looking after it covers keeping your vintage wear in the best possible shape with information on cleaning, storing, restoring and repairing items.

An informative & fun read,
This review is from: Viva Vintage: Find it, Wear it, Love it (Paperback)
This is a great book. It's extremely informative, covering all the different aspects of choosing, buying, caring for & selling vintage clothing. There are chapters for each era of clothing, plus a great section on adapting vintage to suit you, for modern day use & for various occasions. I found it well written & concise with some lovely photographs, but most of all it was a fun and useful read. Excellent work!
