Retro Style Clothing
Popular and of great prominence in the late 1960's, retro fashion was a concept of 'retro chic', developed by the Parisian avante garde. Today, it refers to apparel that imitates the style of a previous era associated with a post modern stylistic trend in fashion and 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 fashion spanning the 1920's to the 1950's, and retro style fashion commonly associated with styles of the 1960's to the 1980's. And in the 1990s, both vintage and retro style clothing became a distinguishable look the United States and in Britain.
Classic 60's mod style dresses were designed and created by some of the finest, and most famous designers such as Mary Quant, Ossie Clark, Yves St. Laurent, Biba, etc.. Reproducing those unique styles (and adding a modern twist), into vintage inspired retro style clothing is aptly defined as a process of re-writing history into nostalgic narratives of chic and trendy era fashion.
