Red Feathers & A Hula Skirt

Last week, as I was on the streets I came across an incredibly colourful shop in Melville. Red Feathers is the creation of two women, Melanie and Kerri, and houses all sorts of delicious products as well as workshops and mini events. They support handmade, fair trade and sustainable goods, with a solid collection of vintage inspired fashion and products. They also have strong links with Living Smarties WA and we will be talking further later this week. On Tuesday 23 March they are holding a fashion expose and is open to anyone interested. And if you are interested in sewing, they run sewing and handcraft classes for adults and children. If you haven't already been into their shop then I thoroughly recommend that you do, it is a pleasure for all the senses.

International Shopping

Maureen and myself both have international trips on our schedule for 2010 - and will we make the most of them! On 22 March Maureen is off to one of the ultimate destinations for things chic, quirky, arty, funky, stylish .... New York! One of the venues she will visit is the Brooklyn Flea Market. "This great outdoor marketplace caters to bargain hunters, collectors, novice shoppers and anyone with an appetite." What an assortment and array of community eclectics. Look out for photos direct from New York into our facebook and blog, and make sure your diary is marked with our Vintage Vixens and Vamps event on 23 May in the Fremantle Town Hall. Stallholders are booking in, more information on them will be posted in the coming weeks.

Feeling Fab with Frugal Fashion Finesse

If you haven't seen the photos on our facebook page, then I heartily recommend that you do! Si (our Victorian Buyer) is on the hunt again this weekend for that quality fashion piece at a smidgeon of what can be purchased new. Make the most of yesteryear's quality and look your best today. In looking through some of the London and Milan websites (both cities we will be visiting for something really special) I came across the comment that "in dressing vintage, clothing items are old but the overall look needs to have a modern feel to it" otherwise we look like we're in a children's movie. It's how we put this with that, and obviously shoes and accessories play a big part. I love the quality of clothes of yesteryear, when I was in the job that paid the money I luxuriated in shopping in David Jones and George's in Melbourne, I miss the feel and look of those clothes, particularly the 80's and some of our Australian designers. But on 23 May I will have the chance to travel down memory lane again - and all under one roof! If you haven't been onto our facebook, get on to it and join up. Si will be posting photos of his purchases throughout the next few months, you can have immediate access to their viewing and post your own comments on their appeal.

Vintage Vixens & Vamps Launches!

Welcome to our birth announcement launching Vintage Vixens & Vamps events for 2010! The beautiful, historical, Art Deco Fremantle Town Hall has been booked for our first vintage fashion, sassy swishing, photo shooting, 'girls dressing up', inspired event.

12noon-5pm, Sunday 23 May will see 30 fabulous vintage stalls - fashion, accessories, recreations, fabrics and patterns. All set up inside the auditorium of the Fremantle Town Hall.

30 different Vintage stalls: You will see Perth's best vintage inspired stalls all under one roof with activities throughout the afternoon to make this one big fun day out for women of all ages. From quirky to classic join Maureen and Georgina at 1 pm as they introduce a select range of designer label vintage inspired fashion pieces and explore fashion combinations that match those of our London based sisters.

Try a little swishing for fun: At 2 pm our sassy swishing mini event is on. Raid the wardrobe and bring along 5 items destined for a new home. For $15 they can be exchanged for five other pre loved pieces, adding new spark and pizzazz to your signature look for a fraction of the price. Ever wanted to explore backstage and swan down the catwalk? Our first event offers that chance. Sashe down alleyways behind the stage, don your attire in backstage dressing rooms and strut your stuff under stage lighting across our royal red catwalk - with the audience esconced in luxurious parlour style seating upstairs at the back of the auditorium - a true performance experience - all with that sense of fun that only women can bring to a girly gathering.

Watch this space for updates on vintage fashion businesses taking part and join our facebook fan club to get the gaggle going.
