Thrift stores and vintage shops are priority destinations for fashionistas these days. You’ve only to watch the Oscars’ red carpet presentation to know celebrities are panting over couture designer clothes from other decades. And certainly, buying old clothes on eBay, the auction Web site, has become a widespread trend.
One more sign is the recent relaunch of www.fashiondig.com, a Web site offering vintage clothes categorized by decades. If you want a cool look from the the ’60s, the current favorite playground of top designers, click on that collection. You may find silver go-go boots, an Izod polo dress or a Pucci-like Op Art black and white print dress.
In the ’40s and ’50s, you’ll find delicate evening bags, tapestry handbags, jeweled brooches, feather cloches, velvet capes and furs. It provides an easy opportunity to set yourself apart with personal style.
