The devil is in the detail

Written by ogo on . Posted in Dressed to Impress Dresses

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.

Trending way back when…

Written by ogo on . Posted in Oldies but Goodies

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.

Exotic & luxurious fiber vintage coats

Written by ogo on . Posted in Elegant coats

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.

The Romance of Lace

Written by ogo on . Posted in Romantic & Seductive

There is a reason why many women choose wedding gowns made of lace.  The glorious Duchess of Cambridge had her friend Sarah Burton, for Alexander McQueen, create a wedding gown covered in lace, perhaps inspired by the lace wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly.  Lace adds instant femininity, on the romantic side in white or pale colors, and on the seductive side when done in black or a jewel tone.  Here are a few OgoVintage lace treasures, with the caption linked to the Etsy shop and the ebay store items available at the OgoVintage ebay store.
