Ralph Lauren retro fashion

Vintage Genuine Snakeskin Bag Love Sixties
Not a lot of people know this.Well, they probably do but either I didn't, or had forgotten. Ralph Lauren designed the costumes for the film The Great Gatsby, a film that always makes me cry at the end because Robert Redford was just so beautiful, and that's before you even take a closer look at the clothes he, and co-star Mia Farrow - are wearing.

Lauren's new runway collection in New York this week featured beautiful silk dresses with more than a nod to the film and the Roaring Twenties generally. Slinky silk and satin dresses that hug the female form, furs (faux I hope), velvet, sequins, embroidery, and snug little hats.

Vintage dressing is even more popular than ever at the moment and part of the fun is seeking those special little one-off pieces that you know nobody else is going to have. Top to toe vintage is not a good idea but a fantastic bag or a vintage scarf, a pair of gloves or a little piece of jewelery is so stylish. After years of throw-away fashion it's so good to wear a pre-loved piece with panache.

I recently fell into a vintage purchasing craze. I agree, Robert Redford was beautiful in that film, and so was the costuming. It'll be interesting to see how the new adaptation fares. Thinking about great vintage and Mia Farrow reminds me of Rosemary's Baby, she wore a whole heap of fantastic shift dresses in that....
