STYLE OF A PREVIOUS ERA -RETRO STYLE CLOTHING
Retro style clothing refers to apparel that imitates the style of a previous era associated with a post modern stylistic trend in fashion.
Popular, and of great prominence in the late 60.s, retro couture dresses is a concept of 'retro chic', developed by the Parisian avante garde. It embraces the use of period styles from where we could almost say -the past becomes a storehouse for fashion.
Within the vintage clothing industry, the difference between vintage and retro style clothing is one of history, distinguishing pre and post 60's fashion, with vintage spanning the years 1920's to the 1950's, and retro style fashion commonly associated with styles of the 1960s to the 1980s.

RETRO STYLE CLOTHING FOR THE TRENDY
Retro couture can thus be defined as a process of re-writing history into nostalgic narratives of the chic and trendy.In the 1990s, both vintage and retro became a distinguishable "look" in Britain and the United States,
Classic sixties mod style dresses were designed and created by some of the finest, and most famous sixties designers, such as Mary Quant, Ossie Clark, Yves St. Laurent, Biba, and many more.
Perfect for anyone looking for a much more unique range of clothing than what is found in normal high street shops, the aesthetics of inspired retro style clothing has became evident in mainstream fashion with the comeback of flares, bells, fly collars, the low-rise pants and platform heels, etc.

INDIE STYLE CLOTHING
Indie couture fashion is basically designs of style, fashioned and inspired by music of a certain era.When Indie music first came into prominence, skin-tight jeans, thin ties and snug fitting shirts became the rage. Bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand all had the look.
And it wasn't just the bands, the celebs got caught in it too. Celebrities such as Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung adopted the Indie fashion, thanks to their musical boyfriends.
You can recognise the indie inspired styles by what today's indie, and rock bands are wearing. Bands such as Razor light, The Kooks, The Libertines, and The Strokes, to name a few.
Indie inspired fashion is characterised by large oversized glasses, checked shirts, studded belts bright white pumps, leggings and oversized t-shirts over leggings, topped with a denim jacket.
This years hottest trend samples some of the Indie looks too, as Indie fashion always has a place on the catwalk and high-street. Almost as much prominence as vintage inspired and retro clothing.
