What will be the Vintage of Tomorrow?

Was it Carrie Bradshaw that once said, “George Clooney is like a Chanel suit, it will never go out of style”? And how true that is. There are simply some timeless icons of fashion that never die. So how do we know what pieces of today are going to be timeless tomorrow? It is true that the future’s best collectibles are sitting in stores today; they will be our future’s “vintage” styles. The truth is, vintage is the latest personal style option that brings with it a true sense of mystery. And it seems that isn’t about to change anytime soon. As trends become ubiquitous and fashion shows are reproducing every price point, buying clothes today that will become tomorrow’s vintage will add value and a cash cow to your wardrobe. So how do you know what pieces today will be valued tomorrow? Well as I said earlier, Chanel anything is a good start. Have a look at any of Chanel’s Fashion Week or fashion shows and you can see just how timeless these pieces are. You also want to look into collecting items that you have seen on celebrities. Big Sunglasses AKA the Olsen twins and Nicole Ritchie. Any gown or designer made replica of famous events – Halle Barre’s Oscar winning gown for example. You also want to try and find pieces of famous “last collections”. Tom Ford’s last Gucci collections are going to be rare and hard to find, but collector’s pot of gold. Another way to determine exclusivity is by purchasing from up and comers. If you can support an emerging fashion designer, you will not only have a chance at buying something unique, but if they break into the business like a Tom Ford or Stella McCartney then owning one of their first pieces will be another great vintage find. Also, if you can find out how many of a particular piece has been produced, do so, the fewer pieces produced the more exclusive the item. These limited edition items will be absolutely priceless in 5-10 years and more. Lastly, if you have found a decent source for good vintage collectibles, don’t tell anyone. Chances are there is someone out there just like yourself looking for vintage fashion clothes. Good luck! Oh and by the way…definitely not vintage are the latest Mens Clothing and Mens Designer Clothes by many top-designers I have seen lately. But later more about that.
