Steal Their Style: I went to the Northern Quarter where vintage fashion is dominating the scene

I’ve found that there’s a real division of opinion when it comes to vintage fashion. Some people can’t get enough of rooting through the rails of a charity or vintage shop, and others simply can’t stand the thought of wearing other people’s old clothes, or wearing similar styles to those popular some 30 years ago.

It begs the question, what is modern fashion, anyway? Look anywhere on the high street today and a good 70 per cent of what you’ll find will be a nod to the 90s. Honestly though, take me to a store and point me in the direction of ‘2022’ specific styles? Tell me, what jeans are ‘in’? Because it’s definitely not definitive anymore.

Personally I’m a big fan of 70s fashion, be it genuine, authentic St Michaels and Spinney, or brands putting their own twist on the decade with cuts and patterns reminiscent of years gone by.
