Andreanna, a retro style clothing collector and business owner from Los Angeles, says, ” I like who I am, to be expressed through what I wear. I like blending trends from the past. It adds a little something authentic, rather than blending in, which is difficult in L.A. where fashion sense is a must.” The best part about going retro is buying what you like, feeling unique and sexy, rather than following fleeting trends.
The high demands of “city-life” are rising as we move further into the millennium. With the thrifty prices and high appeal, retro style clothing and vintage can also be a strong incentive for buyers.
