Style Icon : Zooey Deschanel

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Zooey Deschanel is known for her quirky beauty and ability to change her look and persona in an instant. She first got our attention in the film Mumford and has since gone on to playing the older stewardess sister in Almost Famous and the goth makeup-counter attendant in The Good Girl. She is the vintage darling of the fashion world with her flapper-era sense of style. Zooey herself admits her love for vintage clothing in a recent article, “I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal.”

Style Icon : Audrey Hepburn

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Audrey Hepburn was skinny, with bushy eyebrows and close cropped bangs, yet she changed the definition of style and grace forever. Mary Quant called her the “most stylish woman who ever lived”. Audrey’s greatest weapon of all, and the reason behind her eternal fashion appeal was Hubert de Givenchy, the couturier with whom she collaborated on the costumes for almost all of her films. Together, Givenchy and Hepburn created a fashion/ film union that has yet to be matched. For more Audrey visit the Style Guide at Night Owl Vintage.

Chloë Sevigny Loves Vintage

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Much has been written about It girl Chloë Sevigny’s style and background. Sevigny attributes her frugal past to her love of vintage: “I still prefer to buy vintage over spending it all on one designer,” she told the Times. Vintage has always been at the core of her edgy style. She was among the first to make it cool on the red carpet, after years of mixing the preppy of her Connecticut upbringing with a vintage-informed street style gleaned from escapes into Manhattan. Her then-singular look got her noticed at 17 by a magazine editor and swept her straight into the “It girl” realm.

The actress insists her wardrobe is stocked almost entirely from thrift and vintage stores, with the occasional conventional separate thrown in for good measure. When asked about her shopping style Chloe says that there is so much good vintage. I’ll go to Resurrection or Decades and be like, “Oh, I’m going to buy everything,” but a lot of it is extremely expensive so I’ll go to Wasteland and satisfy that urge and it’s not too hard on the pocketbook. Then there’s this place called Studio Wardrobe Department where everything is like three dollars.

Unlike most Hollywood starlets, you won’t find Sevigny meandering down Rodeo Drive on her shopping sprees. You are more likely to spot the independent actress in quirky stores such as C Madeline’s Showroom; a vintage store in Miami that stocks almost 100 years worth of the finest vintage clothing from all the greats, such as Gucci, Bill Blass and Halston.
