Have you ever found a piece of clothing that makes your heart skip a beat with delight? Or your body tense with excitement as you realise in that precise moment you have never craved something so much nor seen anything so desirable? You can already pic-ture where it will be hung in your closet and you know exactly what you will wear with it and where you'll wear it out. Smiling with pure glee and gurgling with cleverness you know you have found your treasure! You dig quickly into your bag for your wallet to pay for it, almost uncontrollably as your body shivers with anticipation. You know you will not be disappointed. Yet tiny flickers of guilt pass through your head as you know you have far overspent this month and you also know this one piece of perfect clothing is something you deep down do not need. But as quickly as this thought comes you cast it aside rather irritated there could be a thought standing in your way of purchasing what the devil inside of you is urging you to do. Grumpily and longingly you force your-self not to have such ridiculous thoughts, for how much more of a difference will this last indulgence make to your bank balance? You persistently battle against your thoughts as you manage to agree with yourself that you will definitely cut back next month and fig-ure it all out at another time. With determi-nation you relax, allowing you muscles to loosen slightly as you know the devil has won the day and you have managed to be persuaded. You knew the outcome from the start but the angel in you always has to have a say. Something so gorgeous should not be let go of so easily because surely it could never be found anywhere else. This is something you will love and keep forever. It is a must have, a timeless piece that will al-ways have a place in your closet. This perfect piece of clothing is what you deserve after all the searching and trawling through mounds of clothes that hang over walls, or stuffed in messy rails and buried inside fabulous leath-

er trunks.

You've looked under rows and rows of musky smelling furniture hoping to find the vin-tage piece that would be a stand-out in any crowd.. You begin to admire the old pieces of hanging silks and the vast options of jeans and leather jackets, and beautiful long tai-lored dresses that all clash and sing as they hang together mixing, matching and mesh-ing in their own individual ways. Each stripe, square and line different from the next displaying their vibrant, rich and ec-centric colours. Only vintage boutiques have this much detail and character. They house clothes you simply could not find anywhere else and you love each one for their origi-nal detail and quirky texture and history. In awe and admiration you eventually come back to your senses having lost yourself for a few moments in the boutique. You sud-denly realise you've been staring deep in thought at this item for far too long and in those last precious seconds you were very close to losing everything you'd been looking for. Prying eyes of a stranger have spotted you and already sniffed out your wonderful find and seem ready to pounce on the very thing your heart desires most. In an instant you snatch it up and take possession like a vulture fighting over the final morsel of food. Seduced with desire and engulfed in your territorial behaviour you race for the till and with not moment's hesitation you make that special item your own. A statement piece that shouts your personality and celebrates

your taste.

Is it every day that you are proud to be wearing something that makes you, you? Did you take time and effort to find it? How much do your clothes actually mean to you? Where is your favourite place to shop? Are you a vintage junky, bargain hunter, mar-ket digger, charity helper, ethical shopper, designer diva? Or are you a patient shop-per waiting to get the exact designer copy months later? Perhaps you even go as far as to make clothes yourself? Just the other day I, like most people, got to the point where I had to do a wardrobe clear out. Like a mad woman I've been clutching onto every piece

of clothing. For years

Page 23

Page 27: Wanted Georgia macaskie

I've been in denial coming up with all kinds of excuses to keep them even if every day I guiltily watched the dust getting thicker and thicker on the back shelf where piles of untouched, unused shirts have accumulated waiting for their time. To my delight as I slowly unveil my cupboard's secrets I find fabulous pieces that have been hidden away under the mass of outdated, un-kept clothing. My fantastic old and slightly ripped leather skirt, which still to my surprise looked great, all intact with its perfect shape tailored to fit my exact body and shape. It's smell so strong and sharp, more recognizable than the rest as it proudly sits there supple and exqui-site. What a fantastic piece I remind myself as I smile holding it up delicately in front of me. I admire it for what it once was to me as I breathe it in almost tasting the potent old leather. Only this close up can you see the small cracks and tears, the little imperfec-tions and faded colouring that makes it even more charming than before. Like a fine wine it has matured with age and tastes even bet-ter than I once knew. I feel proud and some-thing inside me warms as I happily invite this old lost friend back into my life. Who knew I could find such treasures in a cup-board I thought I knew so well? Why didn't I begin my searchings here before I spent so many cold days hustling and bustling in city centers? Trailing though markets, weav-ing in and out of heavily laden stalls and up and down steep cobbled streets where busy little vintage boutiques screamed my name

inviting me in?

I can even remember the exact little vintage boutique shop which sits just off Brick Lane in Shoreditch, London to which this skirt used to belong. Memories flooded back of nights out and parties I had attended wearing this exact skirt. What fun I had and how great this skirt looked. Engrossed in my thoughts I carefully and neatly hooked the skirt onto a fresh hanger inviting it warmly to its new home at the front of the cupboard alongside my favourite fur winter coats and cream and black silk blouses. Surprisingly in my eyes it shone even brighter than the dress I so wanted so desperately earlier that day in the

Page 24

Page 28: Wanted Georgia macaskie

.little vintage boutique. The dress I thought I wanted and needed and craved so badly.

I also discovered an ink stained denim jacket that lies lonely and neglected amongst dam-aged moth eaten woollen jumpers and even a beautiful velvet dress that I out grew 5 years ago. I sigh as most of these are long passed saving. To my shock I also find a red and yellow striped dress which is so hideous I laugh aloud as I try to remember where I have ever been seen in this! My cheeks burn slightly turning a light shade of red as I stare at this very bold, very frumpy gar-ment. Time to say goodbye I tell myself and without a thought in the world I toss it aside into the almost over flowing, very full look-

ing bin bag.

This day was the day I needed to clear my cupboard, my head and my mind. To my disbelief I couldn't believe how much better it made me feel. It is honestly remarkable

what one can find hidden in a closet, the very place one thinks one knows so well.

As my cupboard became less stuffed and the bin bags became larger I found so many little treasures that had been long forgot-ten about. To my dismay I even found a once very loyal and extremely loved pair of Chloe jeans that I've subsequently trans-formed into my favorite pair of shorts. It's so fantastic to know that my former per-sonal taste has been made into something so special and original. By sieving through old clothes one can find new ones that have been neglected giving them the chance to

live forever.

Go that extra mile and seek what you may already have, something that could be right in front of you. Also by changing old clothes to new ones you can give them a whole new breath of life and the chance to shine in a completely different way. An added bonus

whilst spending nothing! How far do you go to find clothing that speaks for you? Did you know you could al-ready own that treasure, that something you have been searching for? In the end I found I didn’t even need to leave my house because I already owned the very things that makes

Inspiring Interview with Miles Freeman

Dos Clothing

Page 39: Wanted Georgia macaskie

Wanted magazine have been lucky to talk to the young, creative and up- and coming Miles Freeman, aged 22. He is currently studying Politics in his 4th and final year at Newcastle University. In recent months he has set up his own clothing line, Dos clothing. Dos cloth-ing has been selling since April 2012 and has really started to kick off over the last few months. The brand Dos clothing are inspired from vintage jumpers that Miles Freeman has been collecting passionately over the last few years. His love for vintage, in particular-ly the late 80s and 90s style shines though the gorgeous collection on shirts and jumpers.

Page 40: Wanted Georgia macaskie

So how and when did Dos clothing be-gin?

It began last year. That's when I decided I had the time to do it. Then we started to sell in April and only recently it has begun to

kick off.

What is it about vintage clothing you love so much?

I love the design and the textures and the colours. Many of the vast amounts of jump-ers I have collected which have accumulated at home are hard to wear because of the way their cut or because they for young boys so are far to small for me. But I buy them any way because I love the design and the origi-nality. Many of them have fantastic retro designs and I wanted to re- create this taking them as inspiration and put it on garments that I know people would wear. I absolutely love collecting, for example I have a France

96 for kids.People want to find something that other people are not wearing so I'm creating that

option for them.

Have you always had an interest in fashion?

No, I wouldn't say it an interest in fashion. I'm interested in the clothes and the details like the texture and design. When I came to university I realized very quickly I had more clothes than everyone so my interest

sparked fro there really. At university I study politics, which is com-pletely different, so when I come back from University my break is my Dos clothing. It's

my passion.

What kind of style do you think you have?

I'm very eclectic. For example I'm sometimes smart with a pair of broges and then other days I have a pizza jumper with suede pur-

ple shoes. I dress to how I feel.

Page 37

Page 41: Wanted Georgia macaskie

Page 38

Page 42: Wanted Georgia macaskie

What and who inspires you look indi-vidually?

Lots of different people, I'm very aware of what's around. I love to see what different people are doing. I spend hours looking on blogs to see what's coming and I wait for things. I never impulse buy. Normally the pieces I want much are way out of my budg-et so I save up for it. I like to find stuff that

people don't have. For example I found something I couldn't get in England yet so found it in Japan . This is a double edge sword because I find what I want and it also helps with the company. Its great inspiration. It keeps the brand moving forward keeping up with the trend. I compare myself to other companies. Each month I set myself against another company and try to do better than them. Weather is more Face-

book likes or more designs etc.

Do you have a favourite era?

The late 80s and early 90s. I think it was great fun and very stylish at the time. It was

cool.

Is Dos clothing something you'll con-tinue after university?

Yes definitely. I was advised to follow your instinct, so this is what I will be doing. Origi-nally I was looking to go into advertising and to get myself onto the grad schemes but I think I would live in regret if I didn't follow

dos clothing through. My philosophy for the brand is; If your pas-sionate, what's there to loose? You've got to

put your heart into it.

Is it you who does all the designs for the clothing?

Yes, apart from one.

Page 39

Page 43: Wanted Georgia macaskie

Page 40

Page 44: Wanted Georgia macaskie

How did you learn to do it as you didn't get taught in your university?

Tutorials on YouTube. You can always achieve something if you practice and make use of

the digital era. Just Google it. In terms of the design I never repeat them. The first couple of designs we bought a lot of stock for. But the October designs are all sold out. Our next lot of designs are coming out in 2 weeks. The late 80s and early 90s are a

huge inspiration to the designs.

Have you faced any problems in the begin-ning journey with dos clothing?

The hardest thing is I come up with lots of designs but I don't know which one will be

most popular.

Have you only sold the clothing on-line via social networking sites or do

you have a shop we can look at?

Social media has been fantastic because it gives us a platform to branch out even fur-ther. I say I use this site the most. It keeps people updated with our journey as a com-pany. Every person who likes our page I go and look at their profile so I can see if I’m

reaching to the right crowd. We also have twitter, which allows people to

follow our journey.

What is your target market?

Ages range from 18-23. However we were surprised to get an older market buying from us when we had a stall on Portobello market. Portobello was a great experience being there talking to the customers. But the days there were very unpredictable due to bad weather or over crowding. But all the same a good

experience.

How much do you sell your products?

Shirts are roughly ’20 and jumpers are ’35I Seriously think about the marketing, mak-

ing it available and affordable to people!

You said to do fine art at school is that why your doing the course you're doing now?

I Developed an interest in illustration since

my foundation year.

Where and what was your foundation ? Oxford brooks, it was foundation art and design

Have you always been creative?

I’ve always been naturally good at what I do. I had that from a young age. I've also had a lot of practice.

Plain clothes with a nice jacket, nothing to ott. I think I spend more money on going out than on clothes.

Is it the

colors that lure you in?

Like a long piece of thread slowly woven in

Old hanging silks and stacks of jeans Leather and long dresses that clash and sing

As they hang together Mixing, matching and meshing in their own ways

Each stripe, square and line different from the next Displaying their vibrant, rich colours

Every dot and spot, Line and square

Hanging and banging on stuffed rails Drooping hangers

Some are funky others subtle In their little timeless bubble

Waiting, watching, patiently for its time

Ripe in their full charm You appreciate details and textures

Each blooming, others loomingYou breathe it in almost tasting,

Drinking up the perfumed, musky smelling firsAnd potent smell of leather

Constantly counting and reaching You feel like pouncing

On the small and big, Light and heavy,

Dull and shiny Original and the quirky.

Each sits there in their prime You feel the warmth as the carefully crafted clothes

Wait for their new homes.Once you’ve claimed your little treat

you admire your treasure, A find only you can personally pleasure

Till the day comes back around, You outgrew,

Time for something newFabrics torn, worn and faded

Improved with age Back to the shelves, back home to

the piles of dusty clothesWaiting, watching, patiently

for their timeWhen that time

comes they will eventually

happen again.
