The fashion industry moves in seasonal cycles — usually defined by collections for spring / summer and fall / winter. Each year, famous designers create new looks that they hope will be the next big thing. However, there is one stubborn fashion trend that plays on a different timeline. Vintage fashion moves at a much slower pace. The movement began around the time of the First World War due to the lack of clothing fabric. For an item to be considered vintage, it has to be 20 to 100 years old.
時尚產業隨著季節循環更迭，通常被分為春夏跟秋冬系列。每一年，知名設計師都會創作許多新樣貌，希望能大紅大紫。然而，有一種倔強的時尚潮流卻在不同的時間線上發光發熱。復古時尚以一個緩慢許多的步調發展。這個變遷約莫始於第一次世界大戰時期，原因是缺乏衣料。一個被視為復古的物品必須要具有二十至一百年的歷史。
