“When you buy new clothing you may well feel you are a free agent but the truth is that many decisions have already been made long before the clothes ever hit the racks. Designers, manufacturers, shop buyers, and magazine editors all get their say when it comes to the way we dress. Modern methods of mass-production for low and mid-price ranges generate some pretty shoddy garments in some less than appetizing fabrics but even high end products are made in such huge quantities that true individualism becomes difficult, if not impossible. The exercise of free will in fashion is one of the true attractions of vintage style … our world may be slickly packaged but with vintage you can dress the way you want to dress.” (Tolkien, Tracy, Vintage: the Art of Dressing Up, pp. 7-8)
Who I'd like to meet: More of SHOP's lovely customers! And the beloved SHOP Club members who take part in regular events like 'International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day' and get 10 per cent off all their purchases too. Cor, I wish I wasn't still trapped in this computer and I could join.....
