5. Combat Girls - Rotterdam 1996
“Baggy, queer tomboys and tank girls. An army of stiletto-liberated women and dyke ass bitches. Watch out.”
Caroline, 31
“I’m wearing a knit set from Demetra Vintage, hat from Sideshow Hudson, sunglasses, and bag from UK Charm Vintage; all from the 1930s. The shoes are from a vintage reproduction brand called Memory Shoes. I’m always inspired by 30s movies and fashion catalogues.”
Fay, 34
“I’m wearing vintage pants by Whittall&Sohns, silk Versace shirt, velvet jacket with ostrich feathers by Toni Jon, vintage leather jacket, snakeskin boots by Charles Jordan. My style changes every day, but today I was inspired by 70s rock stars, like Keith Richards.”
Starr, 31
Grey Iona, 9
“It is cold so Grey Iona basically threw on whatever to keep her warm while I was selling vintage at the Hotspot Williamsburg. As a person who lives in the fantasy realm 80% of the time my wardrobe consists of very loud statement pieces. Hence the Victorian paisley coat and the church hat. My style is based on my mood and how I want the world to perceive me. I love me a good hat, the more dramatic it is the better. My go-to pieces are anything that’s loud and adds drama. I’m very small and petite so my wardrobe makes up for it.”
