Whether you’re a dressed to the nines everyday kind of girl, or simply throw on the first thing you see without caring about your outfit — the reason jeans, trousers, and loose fitting garments live in your closet is due to the fashion revolution, rebellion, and youth-culture of the 1960s.

Within modern culture, the power of femininity has become increasingly overshadowed by the lens of the male gaze and the over sexualisation of women’s bodies. What was once painted as a symbol of fertility, sensuality, and motherhood has slowly been reduced to clickbait and consumption.

Potentially one of the biggest debates in fashion and one of the most controversial pieces of clothing, the fur coat. If you eat meat and wear leather, your opinion that real fur is “cruel” is hypocritical.

Vintage shopping is more than just buying old clothes. It’s the honour of getting to give another life to a piece that’s lived a few glamorous lives before you. By re-wearing, and restyling the outfit, you’re bringing it back to life, and not only wearing the garments but the memories, and stories of the people who owned it before you.
