Vintage style – individualists’ choice
Vintage is for an easy philosophy – everything has already happened and everything will happen again. It is a style which glorifies things from different eras or tries to stylize them in that way, but with high quality and nobility conferred by the flow of time. It is also a style which links aesthetics from different historical periods, often with opposite hallmarks.
Actually, vintage is related to everything that is from the past, not necessarily very remote and what can be found and shines currently. Lack of stylistic cohesion and some kind of ambiguity decide about vintage’s unique character. It is also a great opportunity to show someone’s individualism, because vintage does not run away from avant-garde and shocking juxtapositions.
