Tales of Endearment: Modern Vintage Lovers and Their Extraordinary Wardrobes, Hardcover

Descriere

Tales of Endearment, a companion to the popular website, is a collection of photos and stories by Natalie Joos featuring today's Who's Who of vintage clothing. The men and women that buy, collect, wear and love vintage come from all walks of life but share this one impartial passion: each one of their ``tales`` reveals a common motivation to celebrate the past and its many inspiring fashions. From 1970s rock & roll t-shirts to Edwardian mourning jackets, mod suede skirts to one-of-a-kind accessories, every single garment in their wardrobes was handpicked with love, gratitude and a green conscience, and has the power to inspire today's, and tomorrow's, lovers of individual style. Tales of Endearment identifies the mantra that ``everything old becomes new again,`` and the interesting people who hold dear to it. They are the real deal vintage connoisseurs, historians, collectors, sellers, enthusiasts and aficionados. Joos personally chose them from her wide and far-reaching circle of friends in different parts of the international arts and entertainment world because they know how to style vintage clothes in a relevant and modern way. Traveling to photograph them at their homes, or in other inspiring locations, wearing their favorite pieces, the result is a singular collection of yesterday's colors, shapes, prints and patterns that have been repeatedly passed on to become today's trends.
