Model Edie Campbell (who we all might recognize from previous Marc Jacobs’ F/W 2009 campaigns) takes on some very seductive sixties inspired looks, shot by Tim Barber (styled by Susan Winget) for the Fall 2011 issue of Muse Magazine. You have to admit it’s quite respectable how vintage these photos really look.

Ahh Memorial Day: beaches, bar-b-ques and bright sunny skies. The first long weekend to commence the summer is upon us, and we couldn’t be more excited to get out of the city and into our new warm-weather clothes.

When it comes to designer vintage, FashionIndie does not eff around. We love everything about classic design – the uber-high quality, the meticulous craftmanship, the luxurious materials – not to mention the amazing stories that come with a Lanvin ball gown that is four decades old! Every outfit tells a different story, and like we always say, the best stories are the ones told in designer.
This Boutique Critique is about the amazing designer vintage store, 1 Of A Find. Curator and self-professed shopaholic Honey Moon goes on buying trips all over the world seeking out beautiful, unique, impossible-to-get-your-hands-on Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Lacroix, and Lanvin to satisfy her international clientele. She used me as a Barbie doll and transported me into worlds I only dream of. Best part? Her prices are as unique as her collection, so we definitely recommend scooting over to her Brooklyn location asap. Check out all our amazing finds after the jump.

The winter weather is finally turning and we’ve started to switch out our wardrobes to get set for summer. While filling out our closets, we’re checking off our list of summer staples: maxi dresses, vintage prints, short boots, ripped up tees, and worn in denim have all made the cut. For some style inspiration, we’ve turned to the hundred degree heat of the desert at the Coachella Music Festival. Pick up some tips on western-vintage summer dressing from the style mavens below:

The Reformation, named for both Martin Luther’s Reformation to a simpler approach, and for the concept of reforming vintage clothes, is a favorite among reformed shoppers like Leighton Meester, Emma Roberts, and Shenae Grimes. Their reasons for shopping The Reformation on the regular could be its low environmental impact from only using vintage clothing and dead stock fabric, or the one-of-a-kind quality of it being made by hand in-house, or the sexy effects of lace, washed silk, breezy prints and zippers. All of those points and more have driven Fashion Indie to it, making this week’s Boutique Critique sustainably sexy.
