"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best
calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong
when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the
prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in
miracles." - Audrey Hepburn
A love for all thing vintage starts at a young age and stays
with you for the rest of your life. Well, at least this is the case for Madeline and Amy. These young ladies love wearing vintage inspired clothing, especially
from the 50s era where rock and roll was becoming as popular as Justin Bieber
and the ready to wear industry was being born.
Madeline (left) is looking oh-so-adorable in her red polka
dot dress, similar to the one from rockabilly label Hell Bunny. To add a bit of oomph to her appearance, Madeline has
paired her dress with a black bolero jacket. Bolero jackets were big in the
50s, being often worn with cocktail dresses so the shoulders could be covered
and the general appearance of the dress still remained. Topping off her look,
she has accessorised with a small black shoulder bag and red hair bow. Simple
but sweet is Madeline’s motto.
Amy (right) is looking outright vibrant in her 50s inspired
layered floral dress and red three-quarter coat. Three-quarter length coats
were popular in the 1950s, being an essential fashion piece for evening
outings. Amy has also accessorised by adding a classic floral 50s styled hair
band, and a cherry red retro belt, giving her that cinched waist look which was
all the rave in the 50s. The cinched waist and statement belt is a becoming a
theme on the runway with Italian Designer, Luisa Beccaria bringing out 1950
style clothing into her runway show.
These girls’ dresses are of a similar style to what
celebrity Dita Von Teese was spotted wearing. Sporting a 1950s inspired Red
Shirt Dress by Glamour Bunny, Dita Von Teese is definitely bringing back the
vibrant reds of 1950’s fashion. Their style can also be compared to Audrey
Hepburn’s 1950s fashion of her vibrant coloured coats, floral dresses, and
cinched waists.
