Vintage Style Muse - WendyB
WendyB in Donald Brooks Couture
Meet this week's Vintage Style Muse -- Wendy B! Many of you may know her as the amazing jewelry designer with a passion for historic women. Her line is called Wendy Brandes Jewelry. You may also know her from her potty-mouth, smart as a whip blog. Wendy has an enviable sense of style. She mixes vintage in a sophisticated way that matches her creative spirit.
1. Name and City you reside: Wendy Brandes, New York City
2. Favorite vintage piece: I don't have just one favorite, but the Donald Brooks Couture dress that I call the Sex-ay Pilgrim Dress is in my top ten. I got it on eBay for $60.
3. Favorite vintage store, brick and mortar or online: For brick and mortar it is Frock, my friend Evan Ross's store on Orchard Street in NYC. Online, I love Shrimpton Couture, Vintage-a-Peel, and C20 Vintage Fashion.
4. Favorite decade: '60s-'70s
5. Vintage icon: Designer Ossie Clark, not just because I love his clothes, but because he used to strike a good pose himself!
6. Why do you love vintage? Every dress has a good story
