Barcelona - Vintage Authentic Collectables
If you want to give your wardrobe some added class with a touch of vintage glamour then this chic boutique of gems called Le Swing based in the El Born area, is for you. Not to far they have another boutique called Blow selling more vintage.
The gorgeous owner Guselle is a master when it comes to vintage knowledge and has been collecting since the age of 15. I’m impressed.
The shop has so many vintage collections ranging from Dior or Chanel shoes to Louis Vuitton suitcases. They have original label bags such as YSL Hermes or Pucci. I especially love the assortment of vintage sunglasses, I bought two pairs. The dresses are very Audrey Hepburn and the colour choices available are very chic and original.
The vintage boots and bags are classic fashion favourites, the era selections are from the 50’s onwards. The hats and hat boxes on display make it feel like being in a fashion museum. Hat boxes are going to be huge collectible items this year. Their collection of vintage home furnishings are all in great condition and are very appealing.
Le Swing decor is very chic and smells nice and everything on sale is original labels and in fab condition. This shop is worth saving your pennies for to experience the opportunity to head down fashion memory lane, El Born style.
Dior - Raf Simons Design Vision For Dior
Raf Simons’s appointment to Dior as successor to John Galliano is an exciting new adventure for us fashionista’s. Simons recent collections at Sander was chic on all levels. His designs of full skirts, sweeping hemlines and gorgeous command of a pastel palette for me states a feminine chic look that can only mean one thing, gorgeous and new look collections for us Dior lovers to come.
Simons has said he’ll be focussing initially on the first ten years of Dior, from 1947 until 1957 the year Dior died of a heart attack. This makes sense and a safe way of approaching such a powerful brand. Looking forward to seeing what Simons will add to the future new look for Dior?
