What brand is vintage vintage? Vintage is not a clothing brand, but an ancient English name.
In fact, the meaning of "Vintage" is simply "old". It originated and multiplied in cheap second-hand shops, but it doesn't mean it is out of date. It embodies a mature and eternal classic charm. In vernacular Chinese, classic clothes are clothes that can be worn in the past, present and future. They are not designed solely to cater to the fashion of the season, such as the slim pants worn by AudreyHepburn in the 1950s, the floral printed blouses designed by Pucci in the 1960s, and the Chanel suit skirts throughout that era, all of which are the most standard retro.
In today's fashion field, "VintageClothes" has a broader meaning, which is used to explain an antique temperament: the antique style displayed from the treasures of court style, the classic works of the past, and the small details of handwork or cloth. Especially in recent years, the creative inspiration of popular designers is often based on their own impressions, but they have begun to forget the times. With a little change in design skills, they can be associated with modernity. It doesn't need to be as old as the museum's collection, but it keeps the clues of time. It is also the "retro" in fashion, which is collectively referred to as "retro clothes" in Chinese.
However, it is not appropriate to call "second-hand shirts" "fashion retro". It became a retro costume because it became famous as soon as it was launched, such as Chanel, Balenciaga, Pucci, Harston, Yves Saint Laurent, John Anthony, Christians Deere and all the fashion designers (haute couture designers) ordered at that time. Its classic styles (famous works, the most breakthrough works, or representative works) form a collection value, and after twenty or thirty years, they can represent the fashion of that period and become "retro clothes". In addition, T-shirts, jackets, classic jeans, etc. Casual clothes, once popular in some famous schools and representing a glorious period in the past, are also collected in the scope of "retro clothes", which is far from the so-called "antiques" unknown in second-hand stalls. The latter, called second-hand clothes at best, is a far cry from the word antique.
Although it is called "retro clothes", it is not the old clothes of "grandma" at all in today's fashion. The charm of retro clothes is a unique temperament in ancient times, but it can also convey modern ideas and is also the highest realm of wearing retro clothes.
What does retro mean? Vintage has many explanations, and there are three widely circulated explanations: retro, retro and antique. Vintage also has the explanation of antiques, but strictly speaking, real antiques are called antiques, and modern "antiques" are called vintage (in principle, they should be literally translated as "secondhand goods"). Although there is no obvious time limit, it usually refers to the well-preserved masterpieces of the times from 1940 to 1980. To put it more simply, antiques are treasures of historical value in museums, while vintage wines are just beautiful second-hand goods.
In fact, "vintage" means "old" in a more popular way. It originated in cheap second-hand shops and thrived there, but it doesn't mean outdated. It embodies a mature and eternal classic charm. In vernacular Chinese, classic clothes are clothes that can be worn in the past, present and future. They are not designed solely to cater to the fashion of the season, such as the slim pants worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1950s, the blouses with floral patterns designed by Emilio Pucci in the 1960s, and Chanel's suits and skirts throughout that era, all of which are the most standard retro.
