| Wilde Shop Is the Most Inspiring New Vintage Destination in Copenhagen - Vogue Posted: 18 Mar 2019 05:11 AM PDT Walking into Wilde Shop is like stepping into a pastel-tinted fashion oasis. Outside, the sidewalks and streets of Copenhagen's Vesterbro neighborhood are bustling, but inside Edda Hansen's charming little vintage outpost, which opened last October, one can experience a stylish respite from the noise. Wilde is decorated with antique murano glass vases and bowls, a mid-century modern copper velvet sofa, and three racks of Hansen's precious vintage collection, all of which she hunted and gathered over the last four years. Born in Hong Kong to a Chinese mother and a Danish father, Hansen spent her childhood in the bustling portside city, before moving to London to study art and design. She then spent several years in New York working as an associate art director at Trace magazine, before ultimately relocating to Copenhagen in 2014.   Edda Hansen, pictured in Wilde Shop Photo: Courtesy of Wilde ShopThough Hansen felt settled in Denmark, she felt an overpowering urge to reconnect with her creative side and find the next step on her career path. So she decided to travel the world on-and-off for four years and ended up collecting the beautiful vintage pieces that now line her store walls: treasures like Christian Dior white leather pants, Prada kitten heels, ostrich handbags, a classic Burberry trench coat, and old Céline jewelry. On her various jaunts, Hansen also discovered beautiful silk kimonos and formal dresses with exquisite workmanship, but no labels. Hansen didn't intend to open a vintage store. "I started very simply traveling to different cities in Europe to collect fashion pieces, take photos, and find inspiration," she explains. "I wanted to see where all of these elements would lead me, and I wanted to spend time finding a new creative direction. For example, whenever I was in Paris I would always go to Père Lachaise Cemetery and visit the Oscar Wilde memorial. My friend and I used to bring flowers and champagne to his grave, celebrating his love for art, fashion, and writing." Hansen would also visit the tombs of Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, and Amedeo Modigliani, then head to a flea market nearby to sift through piles, where she'd find pieces like a Guy Laroche gold jacquard jacket and gold costume jewelry. Hansen also spent time going to car boot sales in London (the British term for a flea market), which yielded a beautiful wedding dress from the '60s and classic wool overcoats.   When she is collecting vintage, Hansen explains that her eye is drawn first to the quality of the garment and then to vibrant pattern and color. She loves prints from the '70s, micro-pleats, and "anything with ruffles." Now that Wilde Shop is off the ground, Hansen is getting more strategic about her buy. "I'm now really looking at what's on the runway. For example, puffy balloon sleeves and prairie dresses are making a big comeback, and I pay attention to that." Hansen is well versed in what her customers want and, more generally speaking, what the average vintage consumer wants. "People are super interested in vintage clothing right now," she says. "In the past, shopping for vintage clothing had a certain stigma. It was seen as a place where you'd only go if you had a very low budget for clothing but today, consumers are so much more aware of sustainability and the impact that the industry has on the environment. Instead of buying fast fashion, people want something special, something vintage."  What's more, Wilde Shop does not use any plastic packaging, only recycled paper. Prices range from $200 to $400 for designer items and from $90 to $200 for label-less finds—fairly approachable, especially when compared to high-end designer vintage retailers like ReSee and The Real Real that are thriving right now. Best of all, the Wilde experience feels personal and intimate, which was Hansen's intention all along: "My concept was to create a vintage clothing community where one will get friendly customer service, warm hospitality and, most importantly, great creative energy."  |
| Meghan Markle’s Latest Vintage Look Is From This London Boutique - Footwear News Posted: 18 Mar 2019 03:10 PM PDT Meghan Markle has her pick of designer clothing, but the duchess has, on more than one occasion, reached for vintage clothing, a choice that sends a message about promoting sustainability and appreciating the value of well-made garments. It's an act that feels right in line with her beliefs — and in fact, she's been known to favor under-the-radar brands linked to social causes (her eco-friendly Vejas sneakers and her Outland Denim jeans that are made by women rescued from human trafficking and exploitation are two such examples). But Markle's thrifty threads are no ordinary secondhand pieces — they're one-of-a-kind couture creations that have been thoroughly vetted, carefully curated and wonderfully preserved by William Vintage, a London-based boutique that since opening its doors in 2009 has prided itself for selling "the finest vintage clothing in the world." And so it appears. For the duchess' latest outing yesterday — the christening of Lena Tindall in Cherington, Gloucestershire, England — she chose a stunning Dior Haute Couture evening silk brown coat from the 1960s. Last month, when in New York City for her baby shower, the mom-to-be was seen in a Courrèges Haute Couture black trapeze coat in matelassé silk from 1965.

Most recently, on March 12, Clooney made headlines everywhere when she attended a dinner hosted by Prince Charles to celebrate The Prince's Trust at Buckingham Palace in a stunning white Jean-Louis Scherrer by Stephane Rolland Grecian-style cape and gown from the spring '07 collection.

The bad news: William Vintage has only one flagship — 2 Marylebone Street in London. Good news: coveted vintage creations like a 1991 Yves Saint Laurent Couture suit or a 1990 Gianni Versace minidress from William Vintage are available online at Farfetch and at 1stdibs. Bad news: These museum-worthy pieces cost thousands of dollars — at least. Click through for Meghan Markle's maternity style. Want more?

| Montgomery re-elects Brescia as mayor - Times Herald-Record Posted: 19 Mar 2019 07:45 PM PDT Montgomery voters decided Tuesday they wanted Steve Brescia to serve another four years as mayor. Brescia, who's been mayor for 28 years, fought off a challenge from Maria Beltrametti, the owner of a vintage clothing store, who also ran against him in 2015. Montgomery voters also chose to stick with the status quo in the race for trustees, picking veteran incumbents Darlene M. Andolsek and JoAnn Scheels over challenger Don Berger. Montgomery residents also elected incumbent Justice Tina Fassnacht over challengers Jack Byrnes and Joe Marrero. Several other Orange County villages also had contested three-way races for two available trustee positions. In Highland Falls, voters chose incumbent Trustee Brian Aylward and former Orange County legislator James DiSalvo, who has also served as deputy mayor. Former trustee and mayor Patrick Flynn ran a distant third. Barbara "Charlie" Murphy, the other incumbent trustee whose term expired this year, chose not to run for re-election. In Cornwall-on-Hudson, incumbent David P. Carnright and newcomer James A. Gagliano finished first and second in the race for two trustee posts. Niklas Thomas Moran, the other challenger, trailed behind them. Goshen voters picked incumbent Trustee Peter Smith and challenger Daniel Henderson over Rachel Losee, another challenger. And in Otisville, incumbent trustees Robert Bennett and Robert D. Clause Jr. were re-elected, fending off a challenge from Keri Lee Carey. mrandall@th-record.com  |
