Vintage at the Golden Globes – Go Brits!
Fans of vintage know that across the pond, vintage is hotter than ever, on trend for both its green attributes (Europe is far more concerned about our environment than the US is) as much as for its timeless style. So … Continue reading

Vintage at the Emmy Awards
With the intense competition amongst designers to dress celebrities for award events, it’s not surprising that the stars, who are given dresses worth thousands of dollars, are wearing vintage gowns far less often than they used to. But with so … Continue reading

Back To School
My favorite time of year has always been Fall: the crisp, dry air, the bittersweet goodbye to summer, and the promise of wooly knits, leather boots, cashmere and my favorite Fall accessory, big chunky scarves. And yes, the leaves are … Continue reading

Who Wore Vintage to the Met’s “Punk: Chaos to Couture” Opening Gala?
I look forward to seeing the Met’s “Punk” exhibit, but the excess at the gala seemed positively distasteful. It didn’t help that Beyoncé was the chair of the event. I don’t know what was worse…the celebs that were completely oblivious … Continue reading

Sophie of Saks
“A woman and her waistline should never be separated.” – Sophie Gimbel “Sophie of Saks” (Sophie Gimbel) was the head designer for the Salon Moderne for forty years. An incredibly talented designer and astute businesswoman, many thought of her as … Continue reading
Vintage at the SAG Awards
After two slip-ups (at the Emmys, in poorly-fitting Louis Vuitton, and at the Golden Globes, in gold Alexander Vauthier) Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”) finally got it right in her sleek “vintage” Chado Ralph Rucci gown. The press went crazy over … Continue reading
Vintage at the Golden Globes
I have such respect for celebrities who are bold enough to wear vintage clothing to awards shows. Not only is it the right thing to do for the environment, but it shows a great sense of confidence, style and individuality. … Continue reading
