Vintage Shaun Top Five Favorite Looks Number Four

This cape like coat is one of my favorite pieces. Everyone thinks if you wear something it has to be fitted and sleek to look great but they forget that movement and fluidity like this piece  make for amazing fashion moments as well. The coat is  from the 1980s as is the dress which you can't really  see. Both are classic in style and it's why I fell in love with both pieces.  Favorite look number four. 

Let The Countdown Begin: Vintage Shaun's Top Five Looks

As we countdown to the Vintage Shaun Pop Up click here for details, I wanted to give you some inspiration as to why I love vintage so much. This image was taken September 2011 outside of Lincoln Center for New York Fashion Week. This outfit was a combination of high and low, old and new and I love it to death. The coat dress which my vintage loving friend Ira, picked  out on one of my very first huge vintage trips. The dress is from the seventies and unlike most pieces it was not love at first site. It was up on the site for close to a year, a friend in Texas tried it out, didn't care for it and finally one day I threw it on  and I fell for it. In the picture seen above, I wore it with a pair of death defying high heels from Jessica Simpson called the Dany, my bag was Fendi, thanks to my mom, the belt Ysl which I scored at their annual sample sale and my scarf was Christian Dior. Euro label overload but only if you asked.  Stay tuned all this week as I countdown my favorite vintage looks all in time to kick off The Vintage Shaun Pop Up Shop. Stay tuned! 

Throwback Thursday

A few years back I went to the library at my alma mater, the Fashion Institute of Technology and looked through tons of archival magazines from as early as the 1940s. Since it is throwback Thursday I decided to post a few images that inspire me from that research trip.

Having Goodwill

Team Shaun for the Goodwill Suits You Fashion Show 

Here at Vintage Shaun we love Goodwill and since March of this year we've worked with them on a number of videos and projects.  On the first of October, myself along with additional stylist and bloggers worked with Goodwill clients on their annual Goodwill Suits You Fashion Show.  My models who I love to call Team Shaun were Khalil, Monique and Ashuna. They all had fabulous personal style so it was more a collaboration rather than a style session. Take a look at some pictures from the event and when you have the chance donate to Goodwill.

Fashion's Night Out

For the second year in the row, I spent Fashion's Night Out with the lovely team at Caravan Stylist Studio at the Sky Room. Save the Garment Center and Made in New York are projects close to my heart as the garment district is dwindling as jobs head overseas. Claudine, the creator of Caravan Style Studio is all about NY Made, the  showroom located in the heart of the garment district  profiles  a number of young designers and brands that are made in New York. Fashion with a true cause, and don't you love my Vintage Shaun Hawaiian print jumper?
