Ready for a fashion blast from the past? Many top fashion trends this season are resurrected styles from past decades. From 1950s-style elegant fashions to a revival of 1960s mini-skirt styles, what's old is new again. For fashion fans who are looking for something a little bit different , there’s a special vintage event that should be right up their alley.
On Sunday 22nd April, 2012, the highly anticipated Vintage Fashion and Décor Fair will return to The Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire for a fourth year. The fair will be a celebration of the fashion and glamorous style of the 20th century from the 1920s to the 1980s. This golden age of fashion, beauty, home decor and dance will be showcased under one roof at this unique event.
With over fifty specialists from all over Ireland displaying and selling a wide range of vintage clothes and retro décor, this show is a must visit for fashion lovers. With the huge resurgence of vintage fashion made popular through the hit shows, Mad Men and Downton Abbey as well as Dublin’s own retro singer, Imelda May, there will be plenty to satisfy the discerning shopper – with all sorts of original memorabilia from 1950s radios to film posters, pretty china to opera glasses!
As well as glamorous frocks and elegant hats, there will be retro makeovers and best dressed competitions available on the day. In order to get you in the vintage mood there will be all day retro entertainment provided including dancing in the cocktail bar.
