Not only were the garments vintage/retro they are also designer, which helps us raise money for Trinity Hospice.
We do get people in buying for TV (BBC television centre is only up the road. Well, was. I mean it is. It is still there but the people are not. Oh you know what I mean....) and so the very stylised stuff went first. Instant 70's outfit done.
Brook Green also gets a few students about who love to play with mixing high street with funky retro items.
Finally we get the fashionistas who know to invest in certain items. (Not bragging, but we do get fab pieces in....OK yes yes we are bragging, just a little bit.)
When we get in items which are collectible or we are unsure on how to price, we have some friends in the know, who help us out so we can get the best price for Trinity Hospice.
This bag today was full of interesting pieces. Hurrah! (again)
Harrods own brand evening dress (C1970s), Kenzo jacket (C1980s), Yves Saint Laurent (now just Saint Laurent) polka dot suit, Gianni Versace shirt and Marianne Fassler bits.
I would snap up the YSL suit if it wasn't a size 10!
Going to focus on each piece later once I can get some photos and some pricing details.
Of course I can't leave you without something for your eyes, so it's video time....
Fashion. Hmmmm I know you think I'm going to post some more Bowie (I was so very tempted, but it is middle of the week and everyone needs a perk up) so gone for some Flight of the Conchords.
Although our fashion is not dangerous. Just FABULOUS!
Bye for now
