 Vintage 70s Lillie Rubin Copper Sequin Jacket

Vintage 80s Jordache Cut-Out Swimsuit

Shot these items and some other pieces for the eBay store yesterday, which is undergoing a major renovation so please bare! They aren't in the store just yet, but they will be by Friday the latest.
 
If you are new to this blog or to me in general, then you should know that Indie Queen Vintage has been around for almost 5 years now. Between school and traveling I just never had the time to take proper care of my little vintage shop. But it's time to step it up! The store will carry items that I love, which are usually on the funkier, unusual side.  Items that I've been hoarding away for some time and I'm ready to pass these jewels onto other Indie Queens. You can expect sparkly vintage clothing, costume jewelry, bags and fun accessories like leather bags and belts. Only the highest quality and most wearable pieces make the cut into the store. Strictly vintage fit for a queen, a daring, sophisticated Indie Queen.

COMING SOON PT. 1

 Vintage 80s Gottex Swimsuit

 Vintage 80s Sequin Tunic

MAKE SURE TO VISIT THE EBAY STORE.

90's style coming HARD

Posted | Views: 15,001

 I know the whole 80's look was big for a minute...but you know that shit gets old. Yeah, get over it or kill yourself. New style always comes from older styles. In the 80's people dressed like the 50's. In the 90's people wore bell bottoms. This new/old style has been coming for a while...but people are just gonna see more and more of it.

 

Some might call it grunge...others might call it 90's...well pretty soon everybody is going to be rocking Pumas, Dickie pants, hoodies, Beenies and all that. People might also wear Speedo shorts with neon flashy colors. Homeboy’s dick hanging out…but let's hope not. Let’s not forget the overalls. That shit is happening as we speak. I’m checkin’ my head…are you?

Art in The Streets at MOCA L.A.

Posted | Views: 15,089

Art in the Streets is the first major U.S. museum survey of graffiti and street art. Curated by MOCA Director Jeffrey Deitch and Associate Curators Roger Gastman and Aaron Rose, the exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Sao Paulo, where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. The exhibition will feature paintings, mixed media sculptures, and interactive installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles's role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. A comprehensive timeline illustrated with artwork, photos, video, and ephemera will provide a historical context for the work.

 

Art in the Streets is made possible by The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation.

 

This exhibition is generously supported by the Sydney Irmas Exhibition Endowment.

 

Major support is provided by Levi's. Additional support is provided by Mandy and Cliff Einstein, Nike SB, MOCA Contemporaries, Janet and Tony Goldman, MOCA Partners, Montana Colors, and Greg Escalante.

 

In-kind media support is provided by Ovation, Los Angeles magazine, and KCRW 89.9 FM.

Saturday in the Streets is presented by Ovation.

Posted | Views: 23,415

New York based fashion photographer Jonathan Leder is still using film when taking photos, and I must say, his portfolio is amazing. There’s a consistency in the feel and look, but within that he manages to show off an amazing versatility. His work has been featured in magazines such as A4 Magazine, Nylon, Sleek, and Mirage.

Midnight Gust

Posted | Views: 13,471

Saturday night Jess and I went out to dinner at my favorite little french cafe, Buena Vista Bistro. It was the perfect time to debut this recent acquisition from the Goodwill. The dress was in mint vintage condition and did not have to be cleaned, altered and barely even styled because it is dramatic just the way it is. I love the tiny polka dots, perfect silk fabric, cream color and especially love the asymmetrical hem.
