I have 8 Helmut Lang dresses, tops, and blazers that I've purchased in about the last year, all secondhand and in excellent condition, most for well under $100 apiece (with the exception of one beautiful new-with-tags blazer at a bit over $100).<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-to-this--vamping-wardrobe-help#post-1989159 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 12:23:04 +0000 cindysmith 1989159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I don't know what your budget is, and I'd need to hear your answer to Rachylou's question to give better recommendations. I have been into a full-on dystopian phase, but lately I've been leaning towards a sort of happy pastel color for warmer weather (shiney sky city) and neutrals for winter (a bit more dry/dusty dystopian feel without as much of the distressing as before. </p> <p>Here's a general list of where I look for inspiration across the spectrum:</p> <p>Helmut Lang<br /> Rick Owens<br /> Isabel Benenato<br /> Barbara I Gongini<br /> Damir Doma<br /> Demobaza<br /> Kowtow<br /> Oak<br /> Ovate<br /> H&amp;M divided<br /> COS</p> <p>Etsy shops:<br /> Metamorphoza<br /> Aakasha<br /> Marcella Moda<br /> Maria Queen Maria<br /> AryaSense<br /> Once you fall into that etsy rabbit hole, it throws similar designers at you in recommendations. I listed the ones I've been stalking the longest but my list is nowhere near comprehensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-to-this--vamping-wardrobe-help#post-1989101 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 03:50:09 +0000 Jaime 1989101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at vintage Yohji Yamamoto and other Japanese designers and Ann Demeulemeester and others from Belgium for inspiration? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-to-this--vamping-wardrobe-help#post-1989081 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 02:19:33 +0000 rachylou 1989081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds fun!

I know it's a couple days until you can post photos, but then please do. </p> <p></p> <p>Your reason for wanting a diagonal hem is different than the reason for this post, but still, if you could point to any you like or have a poison eye for, that could be helpful <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/09/05/midi-lengths-and-muscular-calves/">https://youlookfab.com/2018/09.....ar-calves/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-to-this--vamping-wardrobe-help#post-1989070 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 01:27:13 +0000 Roberta 1989070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We'll all probably suggest COS. Their things tend to be architectural and well made. Limited stores, but I can vouch for their fabrics and construction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-to-this--vamping-wardrobe-help#post-1989069 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 01:26:52 +0000 Helena 1989069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's two I found quickly - as you go through them, maybe think in terms of the new style direction you are moving in - then you can add pieces thoughtfully that will evolve your current wardrobe in your new direction. Have a search through the blog and you'll find other great advice. I'm sure some forum members with edgies and more avant-garde style sensibilities will be able to help you too :)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/10/22/how-you-refresh-your-style/">https://youlookfab.com/2018/10.....our-style/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/02/26/the-four-building-blocks-of-your-wardrobe/">https://youlookfab.com/2018/02.....-wardrobe/</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-to-this--vamping-wardrobe-help#post-1989068 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 01:23:07 +0000 Helena 1989068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and welcome!
