But The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright today took her love of all things vintage slightly too far as she turned up at her store launch wearing a garish printed dress.DEAR LORD... Who are these people? I assume a British movie star or someone with whom I am unfamiliar, but if you like to look at vintage that makes you absolutely cringe... this is the article for you. The article claims that while the girl on the right looks all wrong, the mother (left) looks chic. I agree. If she's dressed for Halloween... FAIL.

For two decades, Warrior stayed in the doldrums of public neglect, dying a slow death. Thensomething magical happened. Warrior (and its brother brand, Feiyue's) shoes started turningup in Europe - in upscale boutiques and glossy fashion magazines. A pair fetched upwards of50 euros ($69). Orlando Bloom and other cool dudes were spotted wearing them.
The Kitsch:
Kate Moss the opposite of glamour: Calvin Klein
"The reason for Kate [Moss] and this whole group of women I found that someone named 'waifs' was because before that, a lot of women were getting breast implants and doing things to their buttocks. It was getting out of control. I just found something so distasteful about all that," he explained.Ah yes... presenting an image of women with large breasts and curvy bottoms is distasteful when it convinces young women to go get plastic surgery. What is not distasteful, however is presenting an image that promotes anorexia, bulimia, and drug use.
I did a little research on the above comment, "that someone named 'waifs'". According to merriam-webster.com the first known use of the word "waif" is the 14th Century and the probable origin of the term is Scandinavia. And in quite the paradox, the definition they give includes, "a stray person or animal expecially: a homeless child."
So, basically this "someone" to whom Klein is referring, was basically saying that his models looked like starving homeless children. Now that's something to brag about.

Portrait motif for vintage and chic look
The latest fad that's taken over city folk is the portrait motif. Be it on clothes, jewellery or bags, this motif is favoured for its simple, vintage and chic look.
