One of Singapore's Best Loved Vintage Stores
VINTAGE CLOTHING is so versatile, and we have a wonderful customer to prove it!
Sarah, who is adventurous when it comes to trying new things, has a great eye for picking out vintage items to suit her. Some items fit her perfectly. Other times, if the item don’t fit, we get it altered so it looks like it was made for her!
Her personality shines through in her newest purchases from us!
THEY COULDN’T be more different. And we’re not just talking about their hair!
There’s Sandrine, from Belgium, with her boyish platinum blonde crop. She’s cheeky, playful, clownish at times.
And then there’s Shawna, a local lass with straight brown locks. Broody and contemplative, she can stare anyone down, and make them slightly nervous.
These two are the best of friends, and quite often, you won’t see one without the other.
This month, Granny’s Day Out takes these two friends out to a decrepit abandoned warehouse in the boondocks of Loyang for a photoshoot. It was super ulu to say the least, and a trek to get to! Plus it had ridiculously high security – although you wouldn’t know it just by looking at the pictures!
Amidst the heat, mosquitoes and gawking men, we dressed the girls.
For Sandrine, we put her in designer pieces from the 1980s: long white shirt dresses that graze the ankles; checkered fisherman pants with bulging pockets; a rayon pinafore dress. It’s a little bit avant garde, a little more European, a different side to the 80s.
As for Shawna, we covered her with frills, ruffles, ruches, lamé and shoulder pads – all the details that make up the excesses of the 80s, as we know it!
And what fun it was shooting these two friends, who shared an easy chemistry while exploring nooks and crannies in their ramshackle glam!
For enquiries and reservations, please call the shop at 6336 9774.
Special thanks to…
The very kind Rami Hanna: If not for him, we wouldn’t have been able to use this location. Plus, he fed us cold Pepsi!
