Unique Vintage Sale and Expansion

The people over at Unique Vintage in Burbank have been pretty busy. They just quadrupled the size of their store and are having a special store-opening sale this Thursday (Jan. 20) to celebrate the event.

I recently rented "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to watch again and was amazed by the clothes worn by Audrey Hepburn. I am in love again with the little black dress, and she wore several stylish black dresses. Unique Vintage probably has a few of those looks.

Hi Jayne, Taken from my own Fashion For Profit blog, which I wrote two years ago! Fashion Fur “Faux” Par Not since we were all exposed to those low riding, and often too much belly reveling hip hugging, crack exposing pants, have I felt such a strong distain of a fashion trend. Well, maybe the “Juice” across the butt is another. But this year’s real fur around the collar jackets, or is it faux fur? Either, or, is an out dated statement of a very distasteful and tacky trend. Sadly, from my own and many others point of view, real fur this year has returned in a big way on catwalks and many designer collections, from Prada and other European luxury goods designers and indeed certain US designers. But, as a south west coast resident, real fur is thankfully considered unnecessary as a means of warmth and politically incorrect by Hollywood and other Californians’ who tend to have a reputation as being more socially sensitive. Until this season’s invasion around the necks of all and sundry from the LA fashion district, through international airports and malls, is has been difficult to escape this ugly trend. When I look at these fur “things” around these fashion trend seekers necks, I seem to hear cries of pain from dogs or wolves, and see their haunting eyes of pain. Or, I find myself looking very carefully to see if in fact it is a cleaver faux imitation. Either one, is in my opinion a statement of embracing an out dated fashion trend of wearing fur as a trim, or as clothing. Additionally, while on this subject, I have always felt animal prints where an odd choice of what is really a depiction of animal fur, or reptile skin and therefore a strange blasé endorsement of cruelty. But, I do wear leather so who am I to criticize! But as a fashion “expert” it maybe acceptable for me to say I am so over seeing those jackets with the real dog fur collars, or the very realistic synthetic fur collars. My strong reaction may have stemmed from last years animal rights exposé of major US chain stores who had purchased fur collared jackets from a Chinese vendor of what they had been informed were synthetic fur collars, but which, unfortunately turned out to be real fur. It was to the retails dismay, and many others that these fur trimmed jackets were discovered to be made from real animals’ fur! The Chinese had substituted and lied about the fact the fur was real and not synthetic fur they used for these collars. They had in fact used dog fur factories to breed and kill, and produce for this season’s buyers. As we are aware, the Chinese are on the whole not famous for their kindness to animals. So, this reveluation should have come as no surprise, but to us dog/animal loving people it was very disturbing. Looking on the bright side, summer is on its way and those distastefully fur trimmed jackets, a symbol of the socially blind trend seekers of fashion, born out of both ignorance and cruelty will be hung up and hopefully stay hung up! Next season’s trend setters are at this time busy creating new styles to entice and to create a demand. The fashion industry must constantly create a demand for new trends, or there will be no new sales or no profits next season. The industry is after all about making money and about creating a “Fashion For Profit.”

Unique LA Spreads Holiday Cheer While Stimulating Local Economy

Plush robots by Kauzbots

I think I love crafting and D.I.Y. projects because I, unfortunately, was born devoid of any such discernable craft-making skills (unless you count gluing dried macaroni to a paper plate).

So on Sunday, I headed down to the California Market Center to gaze in awe and envy at the many wares from the vendors at the Unique Los Angeles shopping fair, which took place at the CMC’s expansive penthouse space on the 13th floor.
