As the vintage revival rolls on recently sold items at ‘Annie in Attic’ include a couple of ‘boom boxes’ and a selection of 70s stereo record players. Well, it stands to reason that with such as resurgence in vintage vinyl and (she says – jumping the trend gun) cassette tapes – it’s no surprise that there has been a steadily increasing demand for the necessary and authentic equipment to play them.

In my humble opinion a DVD with cheap, plastic casing that inevitably snaps within a couple of uses can never replace the wonderful album covers, artwork and lyric booklets that adorn the black, vinyl circle of sounds that make up a bona fide

LP. These were the days when bands and musicians had control over their output and marketing wasn’t left to the sponsors or record companies but were an integral part of the ‘concept’ album; a living, breathing work of art in itself. Artwork, photography, lyrics and presentation all combined to provide the musical escapism in which the band and their ardent followers were so keen to immerse themselves in.

So, I’ve been busy sorting out the vintage vinyl for the shop this week, which prompted me to inform you of the wealth, you could have stashed in your attic or old record boxes which are currently fetching a pretty penny themselves (c. £45 at

the moment). What a trip down memory lane that has been….we already blast away any millennium cobwebs in the shop with a rather eclectic mix of The Monkees (RIP Davy Jones, you will be sorely missed), The Four Tops, Frank Sinatra, Dusty Springfield and Fleetwood Mac and the playlist is growing weekly.

For the record (excuse the pun!) - did you know - The Monkees first released ‘Stepping Stone’ in 1966 and it was used as the first single release for Liverpool based band ‘The Farm’ in April 1990, produced by Suggs of Madness?

Did you also know that dear old Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien (aka Dusty

Springfield) was dubbed the ‘White Queen of Soul’. Catch ‘Dusty in Memphis (1969) if you can - classic. Her peroxide blonde beehives, stunning dresses and ultra heavy eye make up made her an icon of the swinging sixties. I could go on and on but enough of the trivia – lets cut to the chase – in case you’re planning a trip back to the old homestead this Easter - how much are mum and dads record collections really worth? A top ten list of collectible records will invariably include LPs by John Lennon & Yoko Ono, M. Jackson Esq. (for obvious reasons), the Beatles (of course), Sex Pistols (punk is the next big fashion trend…you read it here first- and more on this next month), Bob Dylan, Elvis and some Bowie.

A 1966 acetate of the Velvet Underground and Nico recently fetched over $25K (!) on eBay – it may be time to dust off your vintage vinyl pop

pickers and in the im-mortal words of 1970s disco band ‘Shalamar’… ‘Take that to the bank.’

Till next time

It’s true that good things do come in small packages and with the opening of the Forsaken Dreams shop in Wood Street Market this has never been truer. Wood Street Market has had a complete revamp and is now a go to destination in East London with an eclectic blend of vintage, crafts, art projects and original 78 dealers that means you can spend an afternoon happily browsing the aisles.

Offering a wide range of beautiful vintage for all shapes and sizes Forsaken Dreams owner Zoe, prides herself on making vintage affordable for everyone; “Vintage shouldn’t be restrictive as I believe it’s the perfect way to express your personality and individuality no matter who you are or what your budget is.” With its selection of vintage clothing rang-ing from original 1950’s to 1980’s Forsaken Dreams covers a wide spectrum that will appeal to all tastes.

“Vintage For All” is an ethos Zoe firmly sticks to and she makes every effort to provide her customers with a choice of different eras in a range of sizes, including plus sizes; “Although larger sizes are harder to find I want to make sure everyone can wear something beautiful and unique whether they’re a size 6 or a size 26, the clothes are out there and I try to bring them here.”

Forsaken Dreams has grown from a weekend hobby into a full time job and Zoe is still a regular at vintage fairs; “I love vintage fairs as they are part fashion parade and part museum to me. The idea that you can pick something from 50 or 60 years ago that is beautiful and still in vogue and wear a piece of history is just an amazing feeling.”

An Introduction To Forsaken Dreams

The Vintage Rag Mag Introduce Our Front Cover Company Hatastic!

Chloë Haywood (Designer of Hatastic!) has always had an interest in fashion or ‘dressing up’ as she would call it, and this was confirmed when she won Young Clothes Show Designer of the Year when she was only 16. She designed and made a simple wraparound skirt from a patchwork of vintage materials found in the attic at home, and adorned it with beads and sequins. Leságe, one of the judges, himself offered her an opportunity to study at his school in Paris at the time.

This love of vintage fabrics, and ‘all things glittery’, is something she has never grown out of, and her desire to rejuvenate and transform the old, unused and unloved,

into something strangely beautiful is essentially the ethic of Hatastic! Nowadays, this would fashionably be called ‘upcycling’.

Hatastic! was founded in March 2009 after Chloë designed and made a few different pieces for herself to wear at the five weddings she was to go to that year, and was then commissioned to make a headpiece for a bride and her two bridesmaids. There was no turning back. In her first year she won a competition called ‘Fashioning Technology’ where she designed a headpiece using old wires, scart leads and a kettle lid.

Chloe’s’ premiere collection ‘Recreation’ was then launched at

Alternative Fashion Week in 2010 - a series of ten headpieces made from vintage games or toys. She went on to show this at Brighton Fashion Week, and consequently was featured in The Times, Cosmo and OK Magazine and countless blogs.

Her new collection ‘L’air du temps’ – Spirit of the Times, is another ten piece collection of hats steamed and reworked into shape and then adorned with vintage remnants, jewellery and millinery foliage. Fenwick of Bond Street have confirmed they’ll be stocking this in Spring 2012.

The Candy Collection, which 08

launched in January 2012, has already been seen on the likes of Keisha Buchanan launching her solo career after her many years with the Sugarbabes, and the collection has been selected to be shown at Alternative Fashion Week in April 2012.

Recently, Chloë has been invited by the British Council to be the only British milliner in the ethical Green Closet Show, at Milan Fashion Week February 2012. Eight British designers have been selected and she’ll be showing alongside Vivienne Westwoods new range of ethical handbags. She will be showing her Cold Cocktail Collection AW12 which are reworked vintage mohair headpieces adorned with vintage jewellery in

10

gorgeous deep jewel colours.

Nominated as Accessory Designer of the Year 2011, she has also been working on a couple of projects featured in a book called ‘101 Things to Do with Glitter’ (published 2012). She says her pieces are ‘Elegant, witty and timeless – everything a hat and a woman should be!’

Chloë designs from her workshop at the end of her garden in Surrey. To arrange a viewing at Hatastic! workshop, please email: info@hatastic.co.uk

Every month, we can be found working at one of our favourite events, the wonderful Blitz Party. This is an amazing event where the War-Time era is celebrated. The East London venue is fabulously transformed into a War-Time bunker with precise attention to detail taken in every aspect of the night, including Ration Book menus! There is entertainment all night with a Big Band, 1940’s Cabaret Acts, DJs and Swing Dancers. You can even have a munch on homemade Scotch Eggs & “doorstop” cheese sandwiches!

It never ceases to amaze us how much effort everybody goes to with their outfits but some ladies can struggle a little with getting their hair & make-up right, so we’re on hand to ensure they exude true Forties glamour by providing complimentary make-up top ups and Victory Rolls galore!

How to look like a War-time Lovely! Ensure your skin is prepped in a natural tone – Bronzers & fake tans are a big no-no! Finish your foundation with dusting of powder to give that beautiful matt finish that the ladies loved so much in the Forties! Add a natural Rose or Peach

(depending on your skin tone) powder blush to the apples of your cheeks.

Eyeshadows were worn in subtle shades of ivory, soft lavender, light blues and socket lines defined in neutral shades such as grey. The lash line was defined with a subtle black liner but not as dramatic as seen in the Fifties though! Brows were neat and naturally full so add a touch of definition to your brows. The best way to do this is to take a slanted brush and an eyeshadow that is two shades away from your hair colour (darker if fair, lighter if dark) and add small strokes that imitate hairs.

Lips were worn red – most women favouring orange-based reds.

The Forties were a truly feminine era for hair with Victory Rolls and Curls being the popular look. We get asked all the time how to perfect the perfect Victory Roll but once you know how to do it, it’s very easy! Our tip is for first of all, have plenty of patience!

Section your hair in whatever way you prefer to wear your parting. Add a bit of volume by back combing the section and smooth out with some smoothing cream. Add a spritz of strong-hold hairspray, as this will help to keep the roll’s shape. Then slowly roll the hair into itself and secure to the head with grips. To finish, another spritz of hairspray and add some finishing spray to add some shine.

WIN TWO TICKETS TO THE BLITZ PARTY

Fancy going along for a War-time boogie? The Beauty Queens are giving away two tickets to The Blitz Party for a lucky Vintage Rag Mag reader & a friend! For your chance to win, email your name & phone number to enquiries@thebeautyqueens.co.uk and with the words “BLITZ PARTY COMP” in the title. Good luck!

When I was 13, my optician looked at me sadly and said “I hate to have to say this, but I think it looks like you’ll have to wear your glasses permanently now”.

I don’t think that he realised that I saw this as the opening of a whole new world of possibilities.

For me, 1950s fashion is defined not only by the beautiful dresses, but by the iconic cat eye style glasses (but maybe that’s just because I’m a speccy geek).

There is something so stylish and sophisticated about vintage frames that look great with just about anything.

Although I have mainly stuck to my trusty opticians for my glasses, they do not stock any vintage style frames.

However, I also love giantvintage.com, which has a great range of retro style glasses and sunglasses. For really special hand- picked vintage frames, I definitely recommend Auntie

Aviator.

An Introduction To The Vanity Box

The Vanity Box Talk With ReeRee Rockette

VB:Tell me how the Rockalily idea came about?RR: I started Rockalily Lipstick at the beginning of 2011. It came about from wanting to create a brand that spoke to me, and make buying a red lipstick easier. It grew from my blog (which used to be called Alternatively Lovely) and it has been such an exciting year!I wanted a career change, and I wanted to work with my own skills and passions. I had been a teacher and school librarian before that, and had just decided, that despite enjoying my job, it wasn’t the life I wanted for myself. Rockalily Lipsticks are about making women feel fabulous, and I love being able to help in someway to make that happen!

VB: How do you come up with a new shade?RR: I start with what I want to wear, and then listen to what other people are asking me for. I don’t have many shades (to make choosing easier) so I have to really be sure before releasing a new shade!

VB: What are your Vintage influences and personal style? RR: My family like vintage things, so I have grown up with various vintage inspirations without really realizing it. My step-dad has a blog that he loved, which is about the French Resistance (http://resistancefrancaise.blogspot.co.uk/ ) and Mother Rockette definitely has a love of the 1950s. Personally, I have always been fascinated with World War II, as well as the 1950s, but I love most vintage that relate to women. My own style is much more of a mixture of looks - 1940s and 50s, and more modern rockabilly. Overall, I just appreciate effort, I like to look as though I have made an effort.

VB: What is next for Rockalily?RR: Something very exciting! It’s still top secret unfortunately! But Rockalily is a brand that can grow and extend, and I hope to show that very soon.

This Month we met the inimitable ReeRee Rockette of Rockalily Lipstick. This sassy entrepreneur has produced a vintage inspired lipstick range which makes the path into Red lipstick as easy as buying a loaf of bread. Her lipstick bear great names Hot Rod Red and Pompadour Pink-oh yes she has more than just reds in her range. Short Listed for Best Lipstick in The Handbag Beauty Awards, Cosmopolitan Magazine say her lipsticks are ‘Perfect for Pale Girls’. Her website and blog are worth checking out, covering everything from tattoos to Women in business. ReeRee is a woman to watch. www.rockalily.com The Vanity Box is excited to

announce that we will be part of a fantastic fashion event on 10th

April in aid of The Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Fund. We will be part of the backsatge hair

and make up team for the fashion show and donating a make over as one of the incredible raffle prizes.

Exciting young band Knocksville will be playing, there is burlesque from Miss Tempest Rose and mind

reading too! All this happens at the glamourous Proud Cabaret

Venue in London. Come along for a fabulous, vintage night out for an

excellent cause.

Frocks & Frills Vintage Fair is launching at St Mark’s Hall in Wimbledon on 14th April 2012. With over twenty stalls packed with the best in vintage fashion and home wares all at old-time prices, this eclectic collection is sure to tempt anyone with an eye for vintage style.

Established by Catherine Beck, an experienced vintage trader and herself a vintage addict, Frocks & Frills is the first of its kind in the local area. Having toured the South buying and selling the best bits from decades past, Catherine – a life-long Wimbledon resident – noticed

her home town was lacking a strong vintage presence, and hopes that Frocks & Frills will fill the void.

Stall-holders have been selected based on the quality, value for money and authenticity of what’s on offer, and as a result Frocks & Frills will boast timeless classics sold by some of the country’s finest vintage traders. The popularity of vintage continues to grow and Catherine hopes that this will be the first of many future events.

Whether it’s a piece of fashion history or classic items for the home, you’ll be sure to find something

you love.

Entrance Costs £2 or £1 for students.

Members of the press can enter for free.

FROCKS & FRILLS PRESENT

WIMBLEDONS FIRST VINTAGE FAIR

BETTY FLOWERSHi I’m Betty. I am a professional makeup artist, and hair

accessory designer. I have a passion for all things vintage and kitsch. Look for me every month in the Vintage Rag

Mag to find out who’s who, what’s new, and what inspires our vintage lifestyle.

Put A Spring In Your StepAs we shed our winter gear and start shopping for the summer, we are confronted with some absolutely beautiful summer wears this year. Visions of sweeties and ice cream, as gorgeous soft delicate colours are flooding the shops. Louis Vuitton’s 2012 collection is a perfect example of embracing the pastels. Prada’s new 2012 collection is flaunting a very cute hot-rod print. I’m looking at these designer garments and finally finding them wearable. It’s nice to see the top designers bringing some fun to their collections.

On my summer shopping adventures I keep coming across the most amazing shoes, some of which come at great expense and some which are very affordable. 2012 is a great year for summer footwear. Here is my list of the hottest and cutest shoes for this sunny season!

Love, Betty FlowersIf you have any comments, questions, or need some advice contact me:youmakemeblush@hotmail.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/shemakesmeblush 23

Check out these beauties by Irregular Choice. With an ice-cream cone heel, and adorable gingham and fruit cotton fabric, how can you resist taking a bite out of your wallet for these? I’m a big fan of irregular choice; check out their website for more fun summer shoes.Irregular choiceMay Contain Nuts £89.99http://www.irregularchoice.com
