by In a world in which everyone can look good with sufficient money, it is rare, “archive” fashionable that have become a real style flex.
So give it Vittoria Ceretti, the 27-year-old Italian supermodel friend of Leonardo DiCaprio, who wore a light blue Dolce & Gabbana dress from the autumn/winter 2004 collection in 2004 for the follow-up party for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
The catch? It was last worn by the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2003 to the Met Gala when she was DiCaprios girlfriend.
It is unlikely that Ceretti will take care of these inconvenience. The professionals of wearing archive fashion far outweigh the disadvantages. Wearing a rare tread conveys the taste and knowledge of fashion that is more difficult to reach with a new piece of clothing. It has a story and a story, and for someone who wants to be taken seriously as a style tastenaker, there is a large price -performance ratio. The term “archive” is a looser adjective as a “vintage”, which refers to goods that are older than 20 years, but also speaks for something with status. A high -quality, limited, limited catwalk that is just as collectable as visual arts.
Of course, celebrities like Ceretti do not spend their free time to search vintage shops in the hope of finding a hidden jewel. In fact, it is usually a stylist to help you create an image and an aesthetic identity and advise you on what you should wear when you wear – this investment pays off if you do a lucrative ambassador role for a high fashion or jewelry house.
Gill Linton, the managing director and editor -in -chief of Byronesque, a platform based in Paris, is a cynic manner. “What you believe by wearing archive pieces is that you are authentic and creative,” she says The Telegraph. “In this context, they actually say that they are about contemporary collections and haute couture.”
Linton is part of a growing industry of source and vintage dealers, whose closely guarded networks help you to discover these treasures. They are commissioned by the stylists by celebrities to find certain pieces from which they know they will influence the red carpet. “Something scarce from the fashion history is a different kind of boasting in which the Internet can deal with old runway and editorial pictures,” she says. “The clothes are independent celebrities to make people appear more authentic than they actually are.”
Take Naomi Campbell in Cannes last year. In collaboration with Stylist Law Roach, she wore a vintage-chanel couture dress that she had modeled on the catwalk in 1996. Then there was Jennifer Lawrence, who wore a givenchy top dress for the Afterity Fair Oscars after-party Catwalk wormworm worm-mack-mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Mack-Fair-Fair-Fair-Fair-Fair dress. The Oscars in 1991 – the dress was originally inspired by Marilyn Monroes view in Gentlemen prefer blondes. Lady Gaga, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Scarlett Johansson are also among the celebrities who have worn archive fashion on the red carpet.
This list does not even touch the many celebrities who carry new couture creations based on archives that are too fragile to actually wear them. Wear it to the MET gala.
Ceretti is clearly in archive fashion. On Thursday she was discovered in the streets of Venice with a Betsey Johnson dress from the 1990s.
She was also not the only one who had worn the archive for the wedding celebrations. Kylie and Kendall Jenner both wore Roberto Cavalli archive for the pre-wedding party, and the bride himself wore an Alexander McQueen dress from Alexander McQueen from 2003 on Wednesday evening before the celebrations started.
Certainly to say the sentence “this old thing?” Is out of fashion. Instead, the fashion -tied answer to a compliment is: “Thank you, it’s archive.”
