Pin-up images are great for vintage web icons or clip-art designed for the model agencies, websites regarding health and beauty areas.

Military and security guard websites may successfully use soldiers and officers with an outdated appearance to win the visitors favour and trust.

Usage of specific characters is not limited to the above-mentioned ones. You may apply creativity and use them unconventionally. This will make people surprise and thus memorize your website.

How To Dress in a Vintage Style

Written By Arman Zulhajar on Thursday, June 7, 2012 | 11:07 PM


Vintage clothing, and vintage style clothing, offers the wearer a fantastic opportunity to create a unique, interesting, and exceptionally fashionable look. Vintage clothing is very fashionable, creating an air of chic sophistication on the part of the wearer, whilst at the same time, imbuing the wearer with a relaxed and carefree style attitude. If you feel that vintage clothing reflects your personality, then why not consider trying out this fashion trend. However, beware, that the look can be quite difficult to pull-off well, and fashion faux pas' are rife when first experimenting with the vintage look. If you want to try, however, read the advice that follows, and you are much more likely to succeed.

The first consideration you need to make is whether you will choose to purchase genuine vintage clothing or vintage style clothing. There are different advantages and disadvantages to both:

Vintage clothing:

Advantages

The main advantage is price, these are second hand, and the price generally reflects that the item has some wear. Another advantage is that these clothes are more likely to be one-of-a-kind; others of the same style have probably been lost to the annals of time.

Disadvantages

A key disadvantage is that other people, something that you may be uncomfortable with, will have worn the clothes. In addition, they may need special treatments, such as an expensive dry-cleaning technique, which will take both time and money.

Vintage style clothing:

Advantages

Clothes will be new, and so you will not have to worry about any form of cleaning before you wear the clothes.

Leading fashion designers will have created these clothes for the mass market; they will therefore conform to current trends - meaning that the chances of making a fashion mistake will be less.

Disadvantages

Clothes will be more expensive, reflecting the fact that they are new, and have been designed carefully. The clothes will be mass-produced, and so a unique look is difficult to achieve.

After you choose whether to opt for vintage or vintage style, you then need to select an era. The vintage decades are generally thought of as the 1920s-1960s. Clothes from each of these decades is suitable in contemporary fashions, the difficulty arises in deciding between each decade. If you are unsure which era to choose, simply research the different genres available in each era and then make your choice based on personal preference.

Next, when choosing to dress in a vintage style, you must ensure that the complete outfit is congruent. In other words, that each item follows the vintage look - try not to mix and match different styles. This means that you will have to buy shoes, hats, belts, and any other accessories you may like to wear, in a matching style.

Remember, in the past, hair and make-up tended to be effortless, and not the over exaggerated styles we see today - very few people had orange hair and skin in the 1920s-1970s, so keep true to the style, and go natural.

How To Achieve A Vintage Style Wedding Experience

Written By Arman Zulhajar on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 | 10:41 AM


A vintage-style wedding is easy to organise and will be memorable long after the special day. Starting with the hen party, moving to the reception and honeymoon, this article gives ideas for achieving that special vintage look and feel.

You could attribute it to a passion for period dramas, such as Upstairs Downstairs and Titanic, or to the impending Diamond Jubilee, or perhaps just the general feeling of 'austerity Britain'. Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that vintage is very much the style of the moment. This doesn't mean that aristocratic 'new fogeys' who pride themselves on having inherited everything, including house, furniture, furnishings and wardrobe, are suddenly fashionable, any more than acquiring the odd 'keep calm and carry on' accessory will buy you entry to the vintage set. For aficionados of vintage, it's more a lifestyle than a style, insinuating itself into every aspect of their being, from furnishings and food to clothes and accessories. And if you live vintage and love vintage, it's only natural that you'll want to get married vintage-style. So which elements of your wedding could be part of the vintage treatment?

The Hen Party

In the battle for equality of the sexes, the issue of pre-nuptial knees-ups seems to have been overlooked. There is no reason why the groom should enjoy a weekend of frivolity, while the bride is restricted to a single evening. The answer is to ensure a hen party makes up in style and sophistication what it lacks in length. An increasingly popular option is to kick off the evening's proceedings with a vintage tea party. If the idea of afternoon tea sounds a little tame for a hen party, what we're really talking about is a cocktail party hidden beneath a clever disguise. Serve a choice of cocktails in vintage china cups and saucers, accompanied by an array of enticing canapés instead of cakes. To add to the ambience, encourage your guests to wear vintage clothes or accessories. Even the most resistant to fancy dress can usually be persuaded into a fascinator or long gloves, or will hide their blushes behind a suitably ornate fan. And any of these accessories can be abandoned before the group hits the town for the main evening entertainment.

The Wedding Reception

One thing that period television dramas teach us is that the Victorians and Edwardians really knew how to organise a grand formal party. If you're aiming to translate this period elegance to your own wedding reception, the important thing to remember is that you're aiming to create an effect, rather than slavishly copying every detail. Ensure that you achieve immediate impact with a few statement pieces, such as an ice sculpture, champagne fountain or chandelier, and then dress individual tables with vintage bone china, glassware and period flower arrangements. Get these basics right and you'll find that you've achieved an authentic vintage look for your wedding reception both effortlessly and economically.

The Honeymoon

If you want to extend the vintage theme to your honeymoon, there are opportunities aplenty to experience hospitality and service from the golden age. Why not enjoy a few nights at a truly grand country house hotel such as Cliveden, where the honeymoon suite has a dedicated butler, before a leisurely trip to the continent aboard the Orient Express. Or perhaps a honeymoon further afield, where you can luxuriate in an Indian palace or Sri Lankan hill fort, surrounded by servants and dreaming of the days when England ruled over an Empire.

A vintage style wedding experience is special, memorable and as you have seen is easy to achieve, either on your own or with the help of a vintage stylist.

How to Create Your Own Style in 2009 - With Vintage Inspired and Retro Clothing


Searching successfully for vintage clothing is getting to be more of an uphill task these days, so, if you are a fashion and style enthusiast , with a passion for vintage clothing , you will know exactly what i mean.

If you have been rummaging through attic sales, garage sales or estate sales, looking for that unusual antique piece, without much luck, then vintage inspired and retro clothing is your next best choice.

The vintage inspired and retro clothing worth collecting are a bit up-end in some cases, but you can carefully choose each piece, and end up acquiring a great collection of classic pieces of art. I call them 'timeless'.

Vintage couture has now become bigger than ever as we see more and more bygone styles coming back onto the catwalks.

I started my collections of antique and vintage clothing many years ago. What i did back then, was to mix-and-match contemporary designs and pieces, with the vintage collections that I owned. From a 50's bakerlite bag, a Pucci print, of the '60s (they're always in style, especially in black and white), to a 1960 cut velvet chiffon dress with a matching jacket. I mixed them creatively with any new fashion style that came along.

However, it became more difficult for me to find unique items, and then i discovered that switching to vintage inspired creations became a wonderful alternative.

So, if like me, you have the same dilemma, just do the switch and discover a whole new world of antique and vintage couture re-incarnated.

Passion, and, demand for vintage clothing brought on the production of vintage inspired haute couture dresses and shoes. A vintage inspired piece of clothing is like an art reproduction, looks just as good, but costs much less than an original which is so hard to find. So its very affordable. Especially in these lean and hard times.

o Certain classic styles such as slouchy leather bags, off the shoulder and no shoulder minis, midis and maxi dresses, lace up boots and fabric shoes, to mention a minute few, are always fashionable and are available in vintage inspired options.

o To start off with new ideas, your first port of call should be the fashion magazines. Check on the latest fashion trends, the new cuts, textures, colours. Check out the vintage, retro, and indie fashions. This will give you a feel of what's going on out there fashion-wise.

o Check your Yellow pages for local stores and boutiques that carry vintage clothing. Look in these stores for books on antique and vintage apparels of the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's. Check the designs and compare them to contemporary pieces fashioned after the vintage.

o Go online. Search the web for vintage haute couture clothing, and discover a world of information and photo images of designs that will open your imagination further.

o Discover the marriage of online shopping and video. There, you will experience the stories, creativity and depth that are largely absent from today's e-commerce. As an online shopper, you will discover unique items from designers, boutiques, artists, manufacturers and personalities, and you get a personal and entertaining look at the sellers and their products. This can help guide your decisions.

o Visit fashion shows, if you live in any of the major fashion cities around the world. Recently, catwalks in Paris, Milan, Tokyo, New York, Rome and London, displayed a whole host of distinctly wearable vintage inspired couture trends. Trends inspired by the antique and vintage. You shall surely see more of these in the months ahead.




Vintage inspired [http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-inspired-couture_retro_indie-dresses] and retro clothing styles are classic, endless, and because they are usually one-piece, they are easy to accessorize with a modern shoe, belt, hats or costume jewellry.

You should look out for vintage inspired clothes with tiny waists, shown often as glamorous, luxurious, feminine, low necked evening dresses or boned strapless dresses in taffetas, lace, nets, tulle, chiffon and satin or even nylon. Collect straight skirts with front and back inverted pleats (used to be called kick pleats), pleated skirts set on a hip yoke, worn with short sleeved over blouses, or straight sweater dresses, worn belted, with waists nipped in.

Remove all the hard rummaging work by visiting online vintage and retro stores. You won't believe your finds, and at great prices too. These online stores usually offer great promotions, seasonal savings and in most cases, free shipping.

Find ideas here [http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-inspired-couture_retro_indie-dresses] to build up your wardrobe, get ready for the months ahead.

So get to work.

Enjoy Spring 2009.

Create a new you!

How To Organise A Vintage Style Tea Party

Written By Arman Zulhajar on Saturday, June 2, 2012 | 4:37 PM


Picture the scene. There's a table set for tea with white linen, flowers, fine bone china, silver cutlery and, of course, a mouth-watering array of dainty sandwiches and cakes. Elegant and timeless, a tea party is as perfect a way to entertain today as is was in centuries past. However, contemporary vintage style tea parties are much less formal and considerably more fun than their period counterparts.

It's vintage style, not set in aspic

While the current interest in all things vintage has no doubt been fuelled by costume dramas such as Downton Abbey and Great Expectations, you won't get complaints if your vintage tea party mixes Edwardian cutlery with Victorian china, or introduces non-authentic vintage-style accessories. A vintage tea event should evoke the style of a bygone age, rather than slavishly trying to recreate its every detail. Bloater paste sandwiches and seed cake have made way for canapés and cup cakes in the brave new world of the vintage tea party.

Tea for two, or two hundred

Whether you're organising a celebration a deux for a wedding anniversary, a christening party for a dozen or so family and friends, or a charity event for hundreds, a vintage tea party is just the ticket. The tea party against which all others are often judged is the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, when 8,000 guests consume 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cake. But your event should be organised to reflect the formality of the occasion, your style and the age and interests of your guests. If you're inviting families with children, then outdoor games such as croquet or skittles will keep everyone amused throughout the party, whereas a corporate event might call for a formal tea with a classical string quartet playing in the background. To add a bit of sparkle to the occasion, why not dispense with tea and serve cocktails instead. What could be more decadent than drinking champagne cocktails from fine bone china cups?

DIY vintage events

If you've a creative streak and oodles of time, styling your own vintage tea party can be great fun. Beg, borrow or steal vintage china and cutlery from your friends, or buy them from antique shops or auctions. Augment your trophies with vintage style accessories, including bunting, tea light holders and flower containers. For best effect, try to theme your event by colour, pattern or period. This will ensure the styling of your event is coherent and delivers the required 'wow' factor for your guests. But, if you're worried that your own styling efforts might look like the remnants of a white elephant stall, it's time to call on the services of a specialist vintage stylist.

Vintage styling specialists

An increasing number of companies are offering not just vintage china hire, but complete styling and catering services for vintage tea events. The best companies own large stocks of vintage china and accessories, enabling them to match any theme you choose for any number of guests. It could be a pink theme for a charity event, botanical for a product launch or Edwardian for a Suffragette centenary tea party. Find the right vintage specialist and they'll organise every aspect of your tea event, from the styling and the catering to the flowers and table settings. The only thing you'll need to do is choose a venue, invite your guests and your vintage tea party will appear as if by magic before your eyes.




Viv Eden works for Vintage English, a company which transforms events into special occasions with its vintage china hire and styling service. Vintage English also provides event catering in London for a wide range of clients requiring anything from an intimate afternoon tea party to a grand corporate cocktail party.

Vintage Style Clothing - Making a Fashion Statement

Written By Arman Zulhajar on Friday, June 1, 2012 | 4:42 PM


Choosing vintage style clothing allows you to create the image you want to create, one that is uniquely you.

Making a statement means not finding others wearing your same outfit. We all cringe at the thought of seeing ourselves coming and going. I remember, at my high school graduation party, seeing another girl wearing the exact same dress as me. I wanted to disappear.

You can avoid that disaster by choosing a vintage style dress and pairing it with a genuine vintage handbag or shoes.

Or choose vintage-like accessories to add to an authentic vintage dress.

In either case, you are placing elements that surprise and add to the costume. You are making a fashion statement. You are recognizing truly dated clothes and adding the touch that brings them up-to-date.

There's lots of leeway for you to personalize your style by picking what is comfortable and looks right on you.

You can also create your own vintage style clothing by using something you currently own and redesigning it with a updated flair.

Or you can take a picture of a genuine vintage dress and make it or have someone make it for you adding an up-to-date fabric and design.

By going vintage, you don't have to look like anyone else. But, buyer beware, you also don't want to look old-fashioned.

Vintage style clothing consists of pieces that are inspired by authentic fashions of yesteryear. Making a fashion statement requires a style sense and a knowledge of fashion history.

Where to Find Genuine Vintage?

You can find happy hunting at garage sales, estate sales, and thrift stores. You can go also go online to find directories such as Vintage Where? Or simply Google vintage stores, your city, on Google.

Garage sales might have some of the later vintage products from the 70s or 80s.

Estates sales will sometimes of garments that are 30, 40, 50, 60 years old for reasonable prices.

Don't forget to look in your grandmother's attic, always a great place to start.

What about Vintage Style?

You can get unique and beautiful clothing in excellent condition because its new, like having your cake and eating it too.

Vintage inspired garments have the lines of the authentic but will have an up-to-date feature such as a new neckline or length. You can find such stores, such as The Red Dress, online.

Fabric, colors and design all play an important role in fashion and you will find changes from one decade to another.

A 20s lace dress has a different design pattern, weight and look than a 2010 lace dress. If you wanted to repair some damage (not advisable) of a 20s dress, you more than likely wouldn't find a matching lace.

I think I have said enough to get you to put your own imagination to work to create a look that is reminiscent of the past and uniquely modern.

What's more it's a lot of fun. So go to it, play and swing out in your own vintage style clothing.
