When we watch classic or iconic movies, many of the stars or lead characters sport outfits that were popular in their heyday but have an enduring style that still has appeal to this day. Capturing the essence of these stars style and emulating their ‘look’ can often be a starting place for many fledgling collections.
Starting your own collection is a very personal thing and deciding what to collect depends on your influences and desires. It doesn’t really matter what you collect at the end of the day since the only really important thing is that you enjoy creating and maintaining your collection.
Of course, it does not have to be inspired by your favourite movie; almost anything can spark your desire to start finding vintage clothes. It may be that a certain time period interests you and therefore clothing from that era is important to you. It could even be that a certain designer or fashion style is the basis for your retro collection.
Once you have decided to start your collection, what then? Where do you go to find the pieces that will form the basis for this collection? There is no definitive answer to this question as there are specialist shops and auctions dealing in vintage clothing, but do not underestimate the Internet as a resource as it is rich with information and websites dedicated in bringing you the very best in vintage and retro.
Using your favourite Internet browser simply type in what you are looking for and start the search. You might even be surprised at how much information is returned and find inspiration to further your collection. Chances are that you will find websites that are more relevant to your searches and therefore become are returned to again and again.
Specialist stockists of vintage clothing are a great place to find new additions to a collection as it is often the case that you can build up a good rapport with the shop owner who can then help to find your desired items and may even watch out for certain pieces and hold on to them for you. They can also be a great place to find like-minded people who share your passion and love for vintage.
