Vintage clothes find new life in current fashion
What is in style back in the 1920s or even during the era record is now fashionable among young people - even if users of these styles are generations removed from the clothing of the first occurrence.
The secret is harvested once known a few young at the time of purchase and store savings to distinguish their way of the crowd.
But now, it seems that everyone knows about fashion - and less expensive - clothing treasures found in stores such as Rialto Extra, 1725 O Street, and Ruby Begonia, 1321 P St.
Ericka Flanders Rialto Extra said he had been working in the industry of harvesting for 10 years. Many of the styles you see on the latest fashion magazines to recall its past trends.
She says now that vintage clothing has become more main stream, shopping mall, the shops have even begun to gather in the new trend of using the old looking clothes.
Many people refer to as vintage clothing retro, Flanders said, but an issue only if it is considered retro re-created to emulate a style of a particular era. New, vintage-looking clothes are often sold in mall shops might be considered retro, he said.
In contrast, Rialto extra sells clothing past - what one can really consider vintage, he said.
Flanders said Rialto carries clothing from the 1920s to the late 1970s and that he did not think anything less than the 1980s can be considered vintage - at least not yet.
Flanders said that the store's most popular disc clothes are dresses, metallic heels, leather pumps and flat boots.
Matel Loop, who has worked at Ruby Begonia for over a year, said many of the store customers come in looking for dresses made in the 1950s. Day suits and cocktail dresses are popular, he said.
"I think people Harvest shop because the quality is hard to find," he said. "Not everyone takes the same thing."
She said she does not have a problem with shopping malls selling retro clothing because it allows everyone to see vintage clothing as it was. But she says that people chose to buy in shops selling the crop they know that's the real business.
"I've seen a lot of remakes, and it is not the same quality," Lazo said.
People not only to buy vintage clothes just because they want to be different, he said.
"They like trying to find unique styles not found in today's clothing," he said.
