Vintage Market
I must admit that it was my older brother
and sister that made me a bit ‘cool’ as I was growing up, softening my geeky
tendencies with their love of fashion and vintage clothing. I’d often find
myself in Kensington Indoor Market throughout the eighties surrounded by Punks
and New Romantics. It was no place for a square teenager like me, but it pushed
me out of my comfort zone and into a more ‘alternative universe!’
Now that I’m all grown up, and have been
exposed to an abundance of Vintage fashion, I am left with an inherent respect and
a certain sensibility for that human need to stand out and express one’s individuality with originality and flamboyance.
