Si te pregunto qué te viene a la cabeza cuando digo "vintage" (pronúnciese como quiera), qué imágenes te vienen? A mí fotos de Portobello Market en Londres en primavera, de casa de campo con teteras metálicas en tonos pastel y manteles de flores, broches camafeos y bolsos de las abuelas...pero hoy en día yo creo que ser vintage es una actitud.
If I ask you now what's your idea of "vintage", which images come first to your mind? I see pictures of Portobello Market in London in Spring, a British cottage with flower print tableclothes and pastel metal teapots, cameo broochs and grandma's leather bags...but nowadays I think to be vintage is a matter of attitude.
Ahora lo más es ser vintage chic, es decir, ir tremendamente fashion pero con algo que antes decíamos de mercadillo y ahora ponemos "vintage", algo que no nos acordamos dónde compramos hace tiempo o no tiene marca, ahora se llama vintage. Y a mí me gusta el nombre, porque a veces son verdaderas "joyas".
Actually, now the coolest is to go vintage chic, in other words, go super trendy but with something before called "from flea market" and now "vintage", something we don't remember the brand or where we bought and now it's "vintage". And I have to say, I like this word, some things are really a treasure.

Será por eso que me cuesta tanto deshacerme de la ropa vieja... en qué momento lo demodé pasa a ser vintage?
This could be the reason why is hard for me to get rid of old clothes...when a demodé garment become vintage?

Entre las adolescentes europeas hay una fuerte tendencia a vestir vintage, aquí en España no tanto, al menos en el norte, pero poco a poco todos vamos adquiriendo toques de ese estilo: los cinturones de cuero con hebillas años 80, alpargatas, los bolsos desgastados tipo satchel y por supuesto, las ya nada vintage, gafas nerd.
Among the European teens there's a strong trend of wearing vintage, here in Spain not so much, at least in the North, but I see we have started to introduce some style details: old leather belts with 80's buckles, espadrilles, worn satchel bags and of course, the not any more vintage, nerd glasses.
Pero si hay algo muy muy vintage, pero que podemos comprar "brand new" eso es ropa interior, no notáis que últimamente toda la lencería tiene un toque retro, digo, vintage ;)
But if there's anything very very vintage, but we can buy "brand new" is underwear, don't you find that there are retro, sorry I mean vintage, lingerie everywhere?
Dicho esto, yo no soy muy vintage, quizá no tengo tanta personalidad fashionil y me gusta más seguir las tendencias, pero es verdad que admiro a las que lo saben mezclar con prendas de temporada, me encanta el resultado, y aprender a hacerlo bien es mi reto!
Having said this, I'm not very vintage, maybe I don't have such a fashion personality and I do prefer to follow seasonal trends, but I admire more to those who know how to mix & match seasonal must haves and vintage clothes, I love the result, that's my challenge!
