This weekend, as part of the ongoing celebrations on the South Bank London, a Vintage Festival is taking place. The event promises music, film, fashion, art and design from the 1920s to 1980s. Highlights include:
- The Vintage Marketplace
- Pop-up catwalk shows and ‘Best in Show’ parades
- Daily decade-specific revue shows in the Royal Festival Hall auditorium
- 10 night clubs including Vintage favourites the Torch Club, Let it Rock and Soul Casino, plus new clubs The Studio and The Penthouse
- Themed restaurants and bars
Jo Wood and Pearl and Daisy Lowe will be storming the runway in exclusive catwalk shows. If you want to enter into the spirit of the occasion, then why not treat yourself to one of the decade specific make-overs. The only question is, which decade will you choose? I’m a Victory roll and Make Do and Mend kind of girl, I’ll make mine the 1940s I think.
