The Birth of a Movement
In the early 20th century, the world was on the cusp of a revolution in fashion. As women gained more independence and freedom, they began to reject the restrictive clothing that had been imposed upon them for centuries. This marked the beginning of a new era in fashion - an era that would come to be known as vintage.
The Rise of Couture
With their newfound freedom, women were no longer content with mass-produced clothing from department stores. They sought out unique, one-of-a-kind garments created by skilled artisans who could interpret their individual tastes and styles. These garments were not just clothes; they were works of art that told stories about their wearers' personalities and lifestyles.
