Is Vintage Clothing Dead?
the Cat Walk Queen has posted a blog entry about a silly little article in the Times (UK) about a blasphemous prediction that Vintage is dead! Of course all the truly stylish fashionistas have already debunked this rumor.
As if style is ever a trend. How could vintage possibly be dead when it is resurrected every season? Vintage isn't even a style. It's a descriptor. If by vintage , Ruby Warrington, the writer of the article, means T shirts with travel destinations in washed out color, made to look old and worn- then yes THAT is dead. But that is not vintage. It's not even a year old. It's retro, and not even stylish.
Thank goodness the ladies that comment at the Cat Walk Queen know about style.

Yeah, the 'retro' (I use that term loosely) distressed wanna-be '70s t-shirt trend is over and is NOT vintage, because it is 1970s referential!
Dear Fashion Designers and Floggers, you have had a 12-13 year love affair with the 1970s. It was ugly in the 1970s, it was ugly in the 1990s, and it is even more ugly in the 2000s. It is not vintage.
