At this time of year we all start to think about our new Autumn/ Winter vintage wardrobe, the catwalks were awash with vintage and retro inspiration, harking back to the years of early glamour. 

Embrace the romanticism of previous eras with vintage fashion from the 1800s to 1980’s, take note from designer brands Mui Mui, Marni’s lady like 1940’s ‘New-Look’ glamour or why not inject some jeweled colour luxe with 70’s vintage layering à la Gucci.  You truly have your pick of decades: demure Victorian white cottons, the decadence of Thirties lace and beading, fabulous Forties peplum waists, Fifties dresses with heritage prints or Sixties sweet chiffon.
