Pocket sized but big on info. - Rated
The first half of this book is an extensive review of the major designers and their design styles, going right back to the Belle Epoque, with tips on which are the key items to buy from each collection, and information on how to avoid being taken in by later reproductions. As well as clothing, there is also help with choosing accessories such costume jewellery, handbags and luggage. The second half of the book is a very extensive list of vintage clothing stores worldwide, with a lot of detail on the types of stock carried by each. Web shopping also gets a mention with key sites listed. The book is beautifully illustrated with drawings of iconic clothing - at first I was a little dissapointed there were no actual photographs - but the illustrations are so mouth-watering that in the end I decided it didn't really matter. Portable size with a pretty fabric cover, this would make a great gift for the fashionista that could be carried round in a handbag whilst actually out shopping. A really lovely book!

Vintage is definitely the new haute couture and vintage garments always seem to achieve a look which is girly, glam, comfortable and bang on trend, all at the same time and with hardly any effort! Which is why i love a vintage find. But as i'm not a Londoner born and bred, and there arent many vintage treasure troves lurking in the thames valley, I need pointing in the right direction.
This is the book to do so. Not only is it informative but it's so beautiful I want to wear it! It's chunky with lovely thick paper and a fabric cover, a ribbon (with a mock price label!!!) so you never lose your place, and gorgeous illustrations. Definitely one to buy for your trendy best friend!
