Era Retro

Wear Retro Clothing to Express you Individual Style

If you think that going retro is simply out of this world then think again. Some vintage or retro clothing are just timeless. The fact that retro clothes are being sold anywhere online and in your local stores are enough proof that vintage fashion never dies. It doesn’t mean that just because it is not being worn by the majority makes it a thing of the past. A lot of people still enjoy sporting a retro look which usually makes them stand out from the crowd. Some also go for the modern-retro getup to have that retro inspired outfit with a twist of modern appeal. Whatever era of vintage fashion you want to pursue, you will always find it being sold in vintage and retro stores online or offline.

Fashion is flexible and cyclic in nature. You will always find retro style clothing alongside modern ensemble in the high street or in your favorite local store. That means that demand in retro clothes continues to grow in popularity up to this day. With little or no alteration, vintage dresses are still a lovely addition to your wardrobe. In fact, the famous personalities in the fashion industry are greatly inspired by vintage clothing. Renowned fashion designers are also constantly creating clothing collection with retro-inspired styles and designs. This means fashion is continuously being re-invented from one era to another. From the 1930s to the 1990s, each era brings a certain flavor to the ingredients of modern fashion.

Apart from injecting glamour to your style, retro clothing also brings about your love for your heritage and culture. Wearing retro clothes is like a way of preserving a piece of history and commemorating the bygone era of the golden years. The use of vintage also proclaims your concern to the environment. Vintage clothes are earth-friendly and wearing them is the best way to show that you are supporting the environment. There is no better way to ‘go green’ in style than to start wearing vintage clothing and accessories.

Going retro is one way to spice up your attire. Sometimes it can be frustrating to try to be a little different when everybody, including yourself, is trying to ‘fit in’ by wearing the latest look. Often times you will just find yourself lost in the crowd of people wearing the same designs. If you want to be different and stand out from the crowd, you can innovate by wearing retro clothing, which will be unique.

Explore the beauty of retro fashion and let your creative juices overtake you. In no time at all you would be able to come up with your unique flavor of style and glam. You will never run out of clothing ideas as you will have tons of inspiration from the fashion of different eras. There are no limits as to what you can create from having your retro clothes collection. With retro clothing, you will never run out of style and standing out from the crowd will be a piece of cake.

 Amalgam


Amalgam


$18.98


Even in the most extreme realms of sonic esoterica, where unknown, decades-old private-press releases are commonplace, Amalgam is about as rare as such records get. It’s the only release by British folk duo Just Others, which (briefly) consisted of Geoff Twigg and Brian Rodgers. By the time of its release in 1974, the British folk scene was still going, but had pretty much peaked. Perhaps if Amalgam had come along about five years earlier, it might have attained a higher profile, but it was released in a super-limited edition of just 250 copies and disappeared without a trace. Nevertheless, the blend of influences between Twigg’s singer/songwriter orientation and Rodgers’ more traditional folk inspirations gave Just Others a familiar but distinctive sound. There are no traditional folk tunes to be found on Amalgam, but the influence of artists like Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy, et al, can be clearly heard. Even though the aforementioned folkies, like so many of their peers, had experimented extensively with electrified folk-rock by that time, Amalgam is a strictly acoustic affair, with nary a rhythm section in sight. In fact, one of the very few outside contributions to the album comes in the form of crumhorns that add a Renaissance-era touch, evoking the retro-folk stylings of Amazing Blondel and Gryphon. At the same time, despite the old-school nature of the sonic settings, Twigg’s songs (he wrote all but one of the tracks here) all bear a very personal stamp, and couldn’t have been written in any other era than that of the ? 60s/’70s singer/songwriter. Cast in stark relief by necessity due to the low-budget nature of the recording, the tracks sound all the more haunting and poignant, bearing a kind of innocence that could be seen as the last gasp of the hippie era in the mid-? 70s. Fortunately, Amalgam was saved from extinction through the work of dutiful folk enthusiasts, and decades later, it stands as a sweet musical time capsule. ~ J. Allen, Rovi
