This Old Thing - Vintage fashion at Grays
Channel
4 programme ‘This Old Thing’ has sparked a resurgence of interest in vintage
fashion, helping unsure fashion lovers broaden their shopping horizons.
Presenter Dawn O’Porter has brought Grays under the spotlight by wearing – and
dressing her protégés in – several outfits from Vintage Modes at Grays. As a
regular shopper at Vintage Modes herself, she also featured us as a vintage
shopping destination in her book ‘This Old Thing’. Thanks Dawn, we’re always
glad to have someone looking fabulous in our collections!

Vintage
Modes is a hidden boudoir; lined from floor to
ceiling in red velvet, it’s easy to spend hours hidden among their rails of
carefully curated fashion. All vintage clothing is sourced by fashion expert
Susie Nelson and June Victor and each piece is scrupulously hand selected for condition
and style. Gillian Horsup, Arabella Bianco and Lola of Unicorn adorn Vintage
Modes with their stunning collection of
costume jewellery such as Art Deco diamanté brooches, Egyptian revival
jewellery, Bakelite and celluloid bangles, as well as key pieces from renowned
jewellery designers such as Kenneth Lane, Miriam Haskell, Schiaparelli and
Trifari.
