Vintage fashion bazaar - Sydney antique centre

One-of-a-kind vintage clothing and accessories accompanied by live music, delicious high tea and complimentary styling services;  Sydney’s  premier  vintage  clothing  destination – The Vintage Fashion Emporium Surry Hills – launches an original once-a-month shopping experience from Saturday 3 March 2012.

The Vintage Fashion Emporium is located within the Sydney Antiques Centre (Australia’s  oldest  antiques and collectibles hub). The Emporium now boasts eleven permanent vintage clothing stallholders and has become a favourite haunt for party-goers, race-goers, stylists and general shoppers alike. The Vintage Fashion Emporium has become the energetic heart of  Sydney’s  flourishing vintage fashion scene.

The eleven permanent stallholders – including Coco Repose, Empire 47, Keep It Secret, Look What the Cat Dragged In, Lou Murray Vintage, Over the Top Vintage, Retro Station, Vintage All Sorts, The Vintage Drawer and Zipper on the Side – sourcing their clothing and accessories from all over the world. Altogether they are committed to genuine vintage, lovingly cared for, matched only in variety of styles and eras.
Slinky 1930s slips for nights out as well as nights in? Check. 1940s tea dresses and suits for Prada loving ladies without the couture budget? Definitely.

Or how about cinched fifties party  dresses  for  those  wanting  to  emulate  Elizabeth  Taylor’s  taste making looks from A Place in the Sun? Or sixties wiggle dresses for the modern day office worker dying to unleash their inner Joan Holloway?
There are even classic seventies separates for hip Jane Birkin devotees, unique hats for race days and weddings, bags, gloves and costume jewels galore for ladies who just want to stand out in a crowd plus collectible designer labels for the high fashion lover too.

Gentlemen get a look in as well with plenty of work-wear (jackets, pants, shirts and ties) as well as day-wear (T- shirts, jeans, sweat-shirts and hats) suitable for the hip, the dapper or just the sartorially inclined.
For the monthly Vintage Fashion Bazaar these stallholders will be joined by six temporary sellers and all seventeen shops will have staff on the floor to advice on styles, fit and size.

Customers can also consult with professional stylist Lucy Alder, Styling Associate from Sophie Hart Styling. The ideal service if you are searching for the perfect vintage wedding dress or if you are planning a Great Gatsby or Mad Men themed party, Lucy brings her expertise in costume and real life styling, props and art direction, advertising campaigns and personal styling to the Vintage Fashion Bazaar.

The optional high tea, courtesy of GG Espresso, is only $25 per head and includes tea or coffee, cake and scones, sandwiches and a glass of sparkling wine.

The live music will be vintage in flavour too, with the piano and vocal duo ‘The Bluebells’ performing songs from the great singer songwriters of our time, paying homage to melody with a repertoire of great tunes from the 30s to the 80s.
