If I am asked the famous question “What is your favorite era?” I always need a bit of time to give the correct answer. If I think of vintage fashion in general I have a clear love for 40s fashion but when it comes to wearing vintage pieces I must confess that my favorite era changes almost every week!
It mostly depends on the vintage piece in my wardrobe that leads my choice. I just give you an example of what I mean: I bought this amazing checkered 70s coat during my visit at the Pop Up Vintage Fair in London last October and I love it so much that I want to wear it all the time! During the same time I got some 70s vintage coats at Humana Vintage because I love the way they fit, their shape and collars. But when you wear a coat like this you realize that you need to wear it trying to re-create the vintage style that “fits” these shapes.
That’s why for example I imagined it with these Zara 70s inspired powder blue corduroy trousers and cream sweater or that’s also the reason why I added Selfridge white ankle boots to the outfit (they have a more 60s style maybe but I thought that with this outfit they could feel a bit 70s too!!).
To complete the look I picked up from Madame Ilary showroom a wonderful handmade turban that perfectly paired my trousers!
Huge earrings are handmade from Metalica Creazioni while silver rings are Berber finds from my last Marrakech trip!
