One Womans Trash, Anothers Treasure??

As fashion is ever changing, we often find that designers look back in time and pick up timeless creations and update them, and from this vintage clothing appears to be increasingly popular. From people looking for unique, one off items to those trying to be individual, anything NOT to look like a Topshop Mannequin or have the dilemma of some else having the same dress on as you in a bar (this happened to my friend recently). In respect of this I have been out shopping to vintage fairs and charity shops over the past few months to see what they have to offer and what looks can be created and yet still be contemporary.

I found that Charity shops often have pieces that are quite up to date and from high street shops like Miss Selfridge, New Look, Topshop and Marks and Spencer’s, I even found a DKNY top that was going for £7.99. Through these trips and rummages through Vintage Fairs and parents lofts, wardrobes and boxes we did a mini shoot based on what we found. I think you will be surprised at the outfits thrown together using pieces that other people have discarded!

From this I decided to do a shoot based on our finds, I kept it pretty simple using the area around my friends home, it was getting later in the day so the sunlight wasn't great but some of the images are quite pretty!
