Retro, a fabulous style of the 20th century, refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era and associated with a post modern stylistic trend in fashion.

Popular and of great prominence prior to the late 60.s, the fabulous style of retro couture dresses was a concept of 'retro chic', developed by the Parisian avante garde of the period.

It embraces the use of period styles from where we could almost say -the past becomes a store-house for fashion.

RETRO - A FABULOUS STYLE OF A VINTAGE ERA

In the vintage and vintage inspired clothing industry, the difference between vintage and retro styles is one of a historical and bygone era. It distinguishes pre- and post 60's  fashion with retro being commonly associated with styles  of the 1960s to the 1980s. 

This fabulous style period spanning a couple of decades can thus be defined as a process of scripting history into nostalgic narratives of the chic and trendy and in the 1990s, both vintage and retro became a distinguishable "look" in Britain and the United States,

The aesthetics of inspired retro couture dresses became evident in mainstream fashion with the comeback  of flares, bells, fly collars, the low-rise pants and platform heels.

It was indeed an era of fabulous style for the chic and trendy.

The fabulous and wild Indie couture fashion is basically designs of the past century fashioned and inspired by music of a certain period in that time.

When Indie music first came into prominence there were skin-tight jeans very thin ties and snug fitting shirts which all became the trendy fashion of the day. Bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand all had the indie look.

And it wasn’t just the bands, celebrities such as Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung adopted the Indie fashion, thanks to their musical boyfriends.

Indie inspired fashion is a fabulous style and it 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.

And Indie fashion always has a place on the catwalk and on high-street boutiques. Almost as much prominence as vintage inspired and retro clothing.
