Vintage Fashion Now - Smokin' Hot - Not Retro..

I love vintage fashion, seems everyone does and there is nothing wrong with that! I even have a client that makes 'vintage' fashion frocks and they are doing very well indeed. Vintage is "so hot right now" - agreed! But what am I saying in the tile of this post? Not Retro.. What's that about? In Lagerfeld Confidential Karl Lagerfeld remarks that he is "not interested in the past, just the future - and by the future I don't mean the next 10 years or 5, no the next 6 months, the next fashion cycle".

And yet no-one works with Chanel's past better than Karl. By respecting the tradition of Chanel, Karl makes it all new; bringing Chanel into it the Now; re-working, re-modelling, re-inventing.

That's been my approach to this 'Vintage' inspired shoot with pocket-rocket model Ellie. Sure we shot 80's lingerie and swimwear and even a black beaded evening dress from?? But you would never think these pictures were made 'back in the day'. I was not trying to recreate the past - the past is over. I like my Vintage New, I like it Now and I like it Strong & HOT ; I hope you like it that way too.
