One ‘new’ trend for the 2000s, partly fuelled by its popularity at red carpet events such as the Oscars, is vintage clothing. Be it a 1950s Dior dress or a 1970s Vivienne Westwood T-shirt, period pieces by well known designers are becoming much sought after. Top Shop on Oxford street, London, has a whole fl oor devoted to vintage clothing and several of London’s famous markets such as Portobello Road are good
hunting grounds for second-hand/recycled/vintage clothes. Many new websites have been launched devoted to the buying and selling of garments from another era. Ebay, whilst not exclusively selling clothing and accessories, plays a big part in this desire for recycled fashion.
