Historic Clothing Encounters

October 19, 2010 in Antique/Vintage, Fashion, Slideshow

GV Miao’s fashion philosophy: “I don’t believe fashion as an individual entity, it’s gotta be linked up with history and culture.” – Gwen Vikkey Miao –

We didn’t expect to find this lifestyle shop called “Brocante Place De La Bastille” (brocante: second hand goods in French) selling antique and vintage clothing from the 18th century Europe opened in the busiest commercial district of Hong Kong after having dined at the Italian fashion restaurant, Armani Ristorante/Bar to where Gwen always wanted to pay a visit in Asia on last Tuesday. We all agreed that it must be Gwen’s spirit which led us there. Gwen had always been a fashion/museum lover and a seeker of knowledge who indulged in fashion, history and culture especially those of the Medieval Europe to the Napoleonic Era.
