Vintage vs. Runway: Resort Edition

Miu Miu Resort 2010

Prada Resort 2011

It would seem that Ms. Miuccia has and yearning to go on a Safari, or so her resort lines for Prada and Miu Miu would certainly suggest. I love the colorful socks and contrasting bright platform sandal combo and the other hints of color with matching scarves, armfuls of stripey bangles, and screaming red lips! All thess accents work so well over the muted pallet on loan from an African Safari. We have a great collection of such pieces both original and inspired by designers from Christian Dior to Pierre Cardin.

We're not saying he'll look this good in his 501's, but it can't hurt

DENIM DEMENTIA!

There's nothing like a perfectly worn pair of jeans. These have reinforced knee patches and loads of other details that make them the perfect pair:



Five button fly...



501 XX : the sign of a truly authentic original...



That Big E on that little red label let's you know this pair was made before 1971...



Reinforced holes 'n' patches...



And finally the red line down the selvage was used up until 1982.



The Big E Denim Jacket, another classic






A Variation on a theme. This one has a unique indigo wash with snap buttons and the Big E white label, circa 1970





It doesn't get more Rock 'n' Roll than with the cut off vest, unless, that is...



If it's got The Ramones hand painted across the back!!



LOOK OUT BELOW



And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've got vests, shirt, skirts and 501's in every size and wash.

What's so special about the Levi's Big E, you ask?
