Vintage Mania!!!

Vintage clothes are growing in desirability, and celebrities who aren’t afraid to show off their unique style are always the first to flaunt their vintage finds. Some celebrities collect vintage items, such as Beyonce, who collects vintage Chanel, while other celebrities love to wear vintage because it makes them stand out from the Hollywood pack, such as Chloe Sevigny.

 Way back in 1997 the New York Times did an article about the increasing popularity of vintage couture. The article referenced the fact that Barbra Streisand was known to purchase and perform in womens vintage clothing. In fact, she is credited as being the first celebrity to bring vintage clothing into the spotlight. In 2001 Julia Roberts, wore a vintage dress to the Oscars. Since then there has been a massive increase in interest for vintage clothes.

Womens vintage clothing is so much more than just used clothes. It’s clothing that had style back in its time and which continues to have style today even though the era when it was originally made is long gone. And don't forget that, there’s no easier way to go green than by buying vintage clothing.
