vintage fashion helps diversity of choice

1922 Vintage French Print

After spending the last four weeks with a few very trendy city professionals, while running my vintage accessories business, it has opened my eyes up to just how much the individual fashion choice is taking over.  The consumer is now the trend setter. They look at what's available and take from it what they will. My focus when I'm out sourcing new products is sharper and clearer. I love hearing what's inspiring and why. Which at the moment, is anything as long as you wear it with confidence and of course is affordable.
I've been promosing beautiful vintage vogue covers for a while. Due to the average antique dealer suffering from a tough christmas/january trading climate, sourcing well priced, beautiful quality covers was a challenge but I had a breakthrough last weekend, and if you visit my facebook page or website (www.hesterfleming.com) there are several prints for you to choose from.
My favourite, although not a Vogue cover, is a 1922 French print (above). The composition of the two flapper girls and the gentleman standing around a grand piano is simply stunning and you can really imagine the situation taking place. The clothes, jewellery and room decorations - is enough to make you want to transport your way back to the 1920s.  I haven't seen many flapper girl dresses on the high street, however, come Christmas this year, I see a massive collection a highstreet 'flapper' dresses being launched. Perfect for the pre-Christmas London cocktail party circuit.
My new vintage accessories collection to compliment your cocktail dresses and office wear will be for sale on the 28th of February!
