#7 Trunk Show

The beauty of fashion is that inspiration comes from virtually anywhere. No two people have the same specific fashion sense. For me I am aroused by vintage or homemade pieces. The thought of nobody having the same items as me is empowering. I truly get to be myself and not worried about the thought of "Who wore it better", even though I always wear it better. Ha! But really. Anyway back to the point. This week I took a look at videos of Fashion Trunk shows and instantly one caught my eye.
2013 Spring Fashion Trunk Show in San Francisco, CA
 
All of these women are young entrepreneurs who run their own business whether its vintage finds or homemade items. I also really like how two sell on Etsy, My Darling Vintage and Hip to the Jive Vintage. The owner of My Darling Vintage, Katie especially caught my eye. Growing up she often went to garage sales and thrift stores which helped inspired her to create her business. I thought this video was an interesting take on a trunk show instead of the typical high designers having a trunk show. To me this video proves that you don't have to be a big name business to be successful. If you have never heard of My darling vintage I suggest you check it out! Right now they are having a giveaway for a vintage coach bag. Yes you heard me right. They specialize in vintage bags that are all hand picked by Katie. Check out her website to add to your online shopping addiction. http://www.mydarlingvintage.com/ 
 
Until next time.

  2. I am a vintage/thrifting maniac. I am thrilled that you chose a vintage trunk show to discuss. At 0:58 when she is discussing that vintage clothes has more depth. I totally agree with that which is why I love to buy second hand. Everything has character and more charisma.

  4. Good point about vintage stuff being one of a kind. I find myself gravitating more and more towards vintage accessories all the time for that exact reason. I also like the idea behind these entrepreneurial trunk shows. Good for them!
