Was looking at the Guardian online and I came across this article about Vintage clothing but love the way Hadley Freeman has defined vintage, as I'm trying to come up with all my blurb for the website now.
The reason some people like vintage, if I might be so bold, is because it looks different. Wear a vintage dress and it is unlikely anyone will come up to you and say: "Ooh, I tried that on and it totally didn't suit me. French Connection, right?" Now, some of us don't mind when this happens – it makes us feel part of a club, almost, and it's quite nice talking to strangers in restricted doses. But some people mind it dreadfully and, thus, they go vintage.
Why, I just read in a magazine the other day that this is the one and only area in which the French are superior to us: they have a few classics (a YSL blouse here, a Lanvin peasant skirt there) and, bof, that is all. The British, on the other hand, have drawers overflowing with baggy vest tops from Primark and dresses from New Look which they buy every other day in their lunch hour and thus probably end up spending the same as their French counterparts. C'est incroyable! C'est fou!
So, no more spending your money at French Connection when I have nice party dresses for you at YO VINTAGE!
