Do it yourself fashion is further distinguished from mass produced clothing by its use of patches and embellishments to create one of a kind fashion statement. DIY comes in many flavors, and the various offshoots try hard to distance themselves from each other.

WEAR IT : Some Vintage

The Vintage Fashion has come to believe their own hype, that the wearing of vintage clothing bestows an automatic veneer of creativity and difference. Yes, you are unlikely to bump into someone in the same frock if you buy vintage, however, the increasing availability of high quality vintage at (sometimes very) high quality prices means that a person with a good disposable income can buy themselves a little piece of that look without having to put in a great deal of effort. The dealer did it all for you. You didn’t dig that 50s day dress out of a pile of dirty sheets, lovingly restore it to it’s former glory and tailor it to fit you like a glove.
