Fresh Retro from Rochas Spring/Summer 2012



As the saying 'every season needs a touch of vintage flair' is one we hold respect for dearly, there's something to be said about Rochas' luminous updates to 50's bourgeois day dressing with techno fabrics played against unexpected proportions. Daywear gone glam that's right-on-the-mark, there's plenty to take inspiration from for S/S 2012 when shopping vintage.

Inspiration: Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface

As an outlet that tries to stock-up on as many disco era party dresses as we can, there's something decadently sensual to take inspiration from when looking at Michelle Pfeiffer's sultry character in the movie Scarface.

Utilizing the tantalizing lack of coverage a slinky spaghetti strap can offer, her character also happens to make a case for the allure of a more sophisticated take on disco dressing- just be sure to add plenty of dazzling diamonds and you're good to go!

Stop by the store in time for New Year's Eve as we've got a wonderful assortment of elegant 70's era dresses and gowns just for you...

Inspiration: Angelica Huston by Bob Richardson

Long before the likes of today's cool young Hollywood a-listers including Chloe Sevigny, there was the achingly hip, quirky yet divine beauty of actress & model Angelica Huston in the 1970's. Shot frequently by Bob Richardson for Italian Vogue(including above), she cut a startling, unexpected and decadently chic swath around high-fashion circles with beau Jack Nicholson in tow and serves as a constant inspiration when we source vintage goods for our store.
