Perhaps the silk chiffon has a faint metallic gold topstitch that adds movement and gloss to the dress.  The handpainted silk textile of another turns a dress into a work of art the closer you get.  The intricacy of a raffia hand crochet clearly appears at a distance and up close.

Some trends capture our attention over and over again.  Sometimes, the style returns as an ode to retro charm.  Just as often, a style bears repeating as the latest trend… think Valentino red or Yves Saint Laurent “le smoking”.  OgoVintage will help you build a timeless wardrobe that is as unique as you are.

Just because  you live in a climate where winter requires you bundle up, doesn’t mean you have to forego style to stay warm.  A jolt of neon orange is a sure eye opener, especially when it is trimmed in a spotted fur (cheetah? leopard? geoffrey fur? Jaguar?).

A true luxury fiber is your own little secret.  The concept of adding a fur fiber to a woven textile was popular during the mid 20th century.  Perhaps these luxe fabrics are too costly for today’s market.  Here are several options to choose from, each is in exceptional vintage condition and available at OgoVintage ETSY shop.  The photos are linked to the etsy listings for your convenience.

What the mid-20th century woman lacked in clear opportunities, she gained with the subtle influence of her presence and precision.  That critical first impression was even more important then.  An elegant, exquisitely tailored jacket that suggested seductive curves gave her the maximum impact.  The modern stylish gal has come a very long way since those restrictive times.  Nonetheless, a girl can only benefit by adding a pristine vintage jacket to her business wardrobe.  These jackets are best paired with a classic sheath or pencil skirt.   Each jacket is linked to the listing in the Etsy shop.

An elegant classic with exceptional workmanship, direct from the closet of a renowned international Palm Beach socialite.  The curve enhancing fitted silhouette defines the sexy wiggle dress of the 1950s.  When the styling and workmanship are this elegant, the dress is a perfect choice for now and forever.   The illusion sleeves and upper back bodice are made from narrow cords of the douppioni silk, twisted into a soutache coiled geometric pattern.  The douppioni silk is used to create both shantung and douppioni fabrics.  The elegant fabric is woven with slubbed yarns that may resemble a fine denier Thai silk.  This beautiful vintage LBD will be in the ETSY shop, soon to be enroute to a new home.  The photo is linked to the item in the ETSY shop.
