All's vintage fair in love and wardrobes
For me personally, fashion is all about personal expression and also the lifting of one's spirits. Unfortunately, when one looks at the catwalk collections, that does not always seem to be designers' attitudes to clothes and our lives.
For anyone who attended my talk in the Mind Body Spirit festival a couple weeks ago about the Awareness Wardrobe, and were asking me where to get lovely, uplifting yellow that flatters Irish skin, I have good news: Per Una at Marks Spencer has lots of it, as well as smashing linen dresses for those of you who like to wear linen and were disappointed through the offering in our stores last summer.
The other place you will find uplifting yellow, as you can tell from our page today, is the Dublin Vintage Fashion and Decor Fair in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, next Sunday, April 17, from 11am to 6.30pm. The doorway fee is fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], should you just want your soul uplifted full stop, this really is one of the happiest, most fun, fashion-related events I've attended in several years.
Created 3 years ago by Joan Murray, a woman who adores vintage clothing herself, the fair is sort of a voyage into a whole different kind of shopping place. It jogs my memory a little of the Dandelion Market of my childhood that was a veritable Aladdin's cave of magic and mystery and fun.
In the Dublin Vintage Fashion and Decor Fair last autumn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I discovered cool clothes from all eras of the 20th Century, saw stylish interiors and decor pieces and curious bric-a-brac,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heard music that certain wouldn't normally hear, met unusual characters -- and i'm not really such as the fortune-tellers for the reason that description -- experienced unusual things, saw a classic fashion show, enjoyed an impromptu song and dance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or two, and so on.
The spring show next week looks to be much more diverse and more enjoyable than last autumn's show.
I know for certain that Joan works tough to ensure the fair offers new things and it is of a consistent standard. Being a serious fashion and vintage maven, she knows the importance of quality. From being in the business of organising antiques fairs for years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she also knows you need to keep your offering interesting.
The fair ticks all the boxes of being the best popular experiences.
People can find unusual and rare pieces,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is every fashionista's dream.
It's sustainable, eco-friendly consumption,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since it is about valuing the past and is a workout in recycling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], albeit up-market,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], articles. It is also about celebrating the unique in our lives and culture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], people dressed from head to toe as though they stepped out of Joyce's Dublin or the Forties and Fifties are not your usual shopping centre pedestrians.
Joan is especially happy with the fact that the fair is becoming a launch pad for brand new, female-run businesses. "It has been about turning the economical disaster of redundancy into a chance. It has given women the incentive to show a private passion right into a viable business," Joan explained.
"[It might have been] a business they have secretly wanted to be doing but never thought they could make happen. But they have,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
She cites Sinead Lee of recent vintage shop Hems and Gems,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], within the Indoor Market, Gorey, Co Wexford,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as an example. Sinead was made redundant last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], having been your bathroom buyer for nine years. I saw a lot of men at it this past year plus they were loving it. Men adore the vintage fair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], probably because they love when women really go for being girly and feminine, and in all likelihood since it is a fun day out. They can find vintage movie posters, books, stylish interior pieces and clothes, too.
But specifically for men, this year, Joan has got the Waldorf Barbershop, founded in Dublin in the Twenties, to set up a pop-up barbershop. It will likewise be launching for the first time its new in-house selection of grooming products depending on original recipes used in the Twenties which they discovered within an old tin box in their store room. Our shoot today was shot within the premises of the Waldorf in Westmoreland Street.
Anita Williams and Rouge really are a fabulous jazz group which is playing in the fair and you will enjoy dancing, too. They're releasing just one soon, Take Me towards the Paradiso.
You will see a best-dressed competition, in which the male judge Eoghan Quinn (apparently he's very cute) will be interviewing contestants. So get your Miss World sound-bites ready: vintage fashion icons and favourite vintage stores is going to be essential to win his approval.
There will also be vintage make-up and make-overs by Chris Loh and Amanda Hynes, of Smashbox. Louise Joyce will be doing vintage hairdos.
So, put it in your diary -- Vintage Fashion and Decor Fair next Sunday. Along with a word of advice -- liven up for that event. People enjoy how every one else is dressed at the fair.相关的主题文章:
