…Oh, won’t you please take me home?!
One of the most amazing things about shopping in Glasgow is its vibrant, and quite frankly, booming vintage fashion scene. From the Southside, to Merchant City and stretching all the way up the West End, there has never been a better time to get your thrift on!
I’ve posted before about the positives of second-hand shopping - it’s sustainable, purse-friendly and there’s always the excitement of finding one-off pieces that will transform your look. What’s not to love?
Vintage style is something that is always of huge inspiration to me, so when I heard about Brass Neck City - a fashion showcase dedicated to celebrating Glasgow’s independent and thrift shopping favourites (and a few newcomers too!), I was excited to find out where and when! Encouraging fashionistas and savvy shoppers to look beyond the high street, Brass Neck City features collections from Minted, Vintage Guru, Glasgow Vintage Company, City Retro, We Love To Boogie and Granny Would Be Proud. This lot make up a pretty impressive dream team of retro retailers, and I can’t WAIT to see what each of them bring to the show.
Each of the vintage stores will be tasked with creating looks that pay homage to popular Glasgow street styles - you can expect to see ensembles inspired by Art School Chic, Vintage Lovers, West End Wendys and more! Will you see your own style staples strutting down the runway? There’s only one way to find out…
What makes this event even more awesome is that it is being held in one of my favourite neighbourhood hangouts, HIllhead Bookclub. Oh, that and the fact that it’s totally FREE! If you’re new to vintage shopping then it is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the ever-growing local boutiques that we are lucky to have in our city, and why second-hand shopping is kind to the planet. And if you’re a seasoned pro, checking out a curated selection of thrifted fashion is always a pleasure, right?!
This unmissable show starts at 8pm this Thursday, will I see you there?
