1925

Authentic clothing from the twenties is very hard to come by. And in the rare occasion I do stumble upon a piece that is over 80 years old, it is either black or a bad shape (most of the times; both.) Since I needed some old pieces for my fashion history workshop, I went looking on Marktplaats. That is where I found this gorgeous authentic 20s dress...

It's most likely from the mid twenties and still in good condition. An authentic silk twenties day dress with matching belt and the original slipdress still included... what a find! Of course I like the colour the most, and since the dress isn't wearable for someone with my figure... (I never did the twenties look well) I use it to decorate one of my fashionroom walls with. Such prettiness deserves to be looked at daily (L)

  

Now... of course I can not help you find a dress just like this. But recently I did spot a véry cute Maison Scotch dress that made me think of my twenties beauty immediately. The fabric even feels kind of the same. Yes... pretty!

As a stylist, I come across loads of different labels and brands... And I have to say;  modern day fashion is just so dull most of the time! However, it's not easy to shop and wear vintage all of the time. And when doing a styling job, I'm obligated to use modern fashion as well! So from now on I'll share present-day fashion I came across, from which I believe has a certain vintage vibe. I'd like to start with 'Mint&Berry,' a véry cute brand from good old Berlin! I'll show you a small selection of my favourite items... don't these sweet soft colours just remind you of easter?

I just love the cute, forties and fifties vibe of these items. The colours, the print, the fabrics.... the details; it just works for me! The fact that this brand is reasonably priced makes it even more interesting. You can find more on the Mint&Berry website, and a huge part of their collection is also available on Zalando! Make sure to check it out, because these items are just the tip of a of the lovely iceberg called Mint&Berry.
