Great 40s vintage

Ever since I watched The English Patient, The Good German, and Black Book (Zwartboek) a few weeks ago I have been really into 40’s fashion. Everything seems to come with a hat or a veil, it’s a lot of fun.

Sydney’s Vintage Clothing online store has a great selection of 40s vintage as well as all the other decades. Plus, the prices are very reasonable.

With this site anyone can look like Carice van Houten. Well, everyone can try at least.

Sometimes vintage is impossible.

Some items in history books or aged paintings are either locked away in a museum or lost and gone forever. The good news is that art inspires art and you can usually find a modern designer’s interpretation of a classic piece.
