Loufoque Vintage

I started thinking about my vintage journey and actually how long it has been. Time flies by and suddenly you have dedicated your life to something it seems, so this is my story. I started getting into vintage at the age of 16 years old ( I'm now 40) my best friend was a hippie folk chic and we went by bike to all the small folk & indie events around our neighbourhood....

You can interpret this from a child's point of view or interpret it as an adult, in that case, this tale is full of metaphors. I like nice things I'm not going to lie and I find the world of Gucci at this stage, with Alesandro Michele as a designer, very dreamy and inspirational. Not only because it kind of brings us back to a more innocent era, (not that the seventies were perfect), of peace love and understanding & being in alignment with nature and our emotions....

Michael Kors knew he wanted to go into fashion from a very young age. Growing up in Merrcik Long Island, with a model mother, a grandfather in textile, an uncle that was a manufacturer and an aunt that was a teacher but more passionate about fashion than teaching.

I would love to say that I have incredible willpower, but the truth is that a year in lockdown just flew by and that I wasn't in the groove to go out extra groomed. It's safe to say that this has been my most low maintenance year ever. A minimalist milestone! The other day, as I was applying make up for the very first time in months, I had to determine that my mascara and eyeliner had dried out completely....

“One of the advantages of being born in an affluent society is that if one has any intelligence at all, one will realize that having more and more won’t solve the problem, and happiness does not lie in possessions, or even relationships: The answer lies within ourselves. If we can’t find peace and happiness there, it’s not going to come from the outside.” ...

I'm pretty sure this rebranding came from a certain phone call, and it probably went like this. Marc Jacobs: "Marc Jacobs speaking". Other person: "Really? THE Marc Jacobs ?"...

I remember quite well when the brand Tory Burch made the news. I was in my early twenties, just starting at my first job as a social worker, reading Elle magazine on my lunch breaks. In the good old days, before social media hit the world by storm, Elle magazine was probably my first source to hear about the brand. Tory opened her boutique on Elisabeth street in NY in 2004, shortly after got featured on Oprah....

Lett's dive in to the deep end of the history of this well known American household brand. I think I can explain my obsession for this brand because it originally had such a strong connection with sports. And I think that this connection just makes me not see it only as a luxury brand.

I guess since I am wearing my cosy oversized jumper loose pants outfits day to day while at home...I kinda forgot about what REAL dressing looked like. Temperatures dropped in Belgium this weekend and the word is that the weather Gods are gifting us snow tomorrow. Best excuse ever to bring the winter capsule wardrobe out. After all..

In these challenging times we are all going through right now. I feel like nothing can truly lift the spirit of a human being than a beautifully crafted handbag and some good old gossip or sassy family drama. So, I'd love to tell you about the history of the Gucci brand on this little old blog....
