First Fashion: Vintage Made Modern

I edited my wardrobe last weekend (read: I cleaned out my closet), and found more than a few things to thrift. And while I’m glad to give, I don’t have the patience for the bin-diving that’s required to find something that fits my taste (and my measurements). But some labels take the earth-friendly concept of recycling and do away with its dusty reputation, not to mention the legwork.

An effortless top with a unique, futuristic slant, and like all of Re Collection’s reworked vintage pieces it’s made from recycled fabric. Re Collection – Studded Patchwork Tunic

First vintage Chanel bags and jewelry, now vintage Gucci sunglasses: Shopbop’s been making it easy to find gems from decades past. And Retrosun, with their pristine-condition designer shades retrofitted with UV protection, has been making it easy to wear them. Retrosun – Vintage Gucci Sunglasses.

The beading and sweet bow say vintage, but the casual jersey says right now. Re Collection – Beaded Tank Top

What’s old finds new life in What’s New.
