>> My vintage buys have recently gone against my usual rule of thumb of avoiding pieces that look distinctly "retro". I can't exactly describe what it is that makes something "retro" but it normally is to do with fabric or a signature style of something that means anyone on the street can instantly pick it out and say "Oh, that's so 70s...". Weirdly though, I've not been practising what I preach and on recent jaunts to vintage stores, I seem to be specifically picking out things that have recognisable decades instantly attached to them and furthermore,Coolest Gadgets, they all have hints of orange in them a shade that I associate with the fading and retro cliches of the 70s - be it in sepia-faded photos flooded with too much light or wallpaper (if you google 70s wallpaper, the dominating hue is orange) samples.
Solid blocks of orange may be the dominant force for S/S 11 but I'm regressing into prints that my mother might have worn as a child and specifically chintzy pieces that may have hung on my house walls or covered our sofas when I was a wee baby.
(TBA toadstool print dress, vintage house-print shirt, vintage embroidered flower shirt,cheap coach, Marios Schwab boots)
As pointed out by This is Naive and other interior design blogs, the apartment used in The King's Speech is also part and parcel of this fading orange-tinged aesthetic that I'm keen on digging up and reviving...
