This explains why clothes from the 1930-1960s are admired<br /> as ‘vintage’ all over the world. However, people don’t find value in<br /> clothes from the 1990s that are made with new dyes. It’s the visual<br /> sense of history that attracts people, and I use this essence to produce<br /> modern clothes.”"</p> <p>For me, in contrast, I like to use thrifted clothing to interpret modern trends. The history that does attract me in vintage clothing is not the aging but the cut and drape and silhouette emphasis but I would prefer it to be a reference to how clothes were modern at that time. I like how the designer of surfer-inspired clothing has a completely modernized take on it. He may admire fading fabric but it doesn't look particularly salt-soaked and sun faded to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-178#post-1493271 Tue, 19 May 2015 00:09:28 +0000 Marlene 1493271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed Sally's thoughts on Normcore. &nbsp;Is there a difference between "normcore" and classic? &nbsp;Or is it something else all together? &nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.alreadypretty.com/2015/05/reader-request-normcore-vs-classic.html">http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....assic.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-178#post-1493192 Mon, 18 May 2015 18:30:29 +0000 Dee 1493192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if this has been posted before, but Iris, the documentary about Iris Apfel, is out in theatres (and it's pretty fun!)</p> <p>Here's an interview with her about the documentary:<br /> <a href="http://www.vogue.com/13256850/iris-apfel-documentary-albert-maysles/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vogue.com/13256850/.....t-maysles/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-178#post-1493186 Mon, 18 May 2015 18:05:41 +0000 Inge 1493186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - Very fun to browse for sure, pity I can't go see the exhibition either;-)<br />Joy - Yes!
