Teenage Vintage Princesses Shelly Newnham- Fashion Photographer
Wearing vintage clothing can be similar to collecting and wearing a piece of art. A piece that was created in a bygone era will be a unique addition to anyone’ s wardrobe.
To the teenager and various subcultures it can be a form of bricolage showing how to use clothes and styles from the past or from different generations and give them new cultural and urban identities. The look transcends from the Teddy boys, punks, new romantics to today’ s urban, grunge, hipster movement. The trend for vintage clothes and sourcing unusual one offs is becoming increasingly popular.
For today’ s teenager in the current economic climate vintage clothing can be a godsend with less financial pressure on parents who can ill-afford designer.
Reusing and reworking individual pieces into current street fashion gives the wearer individuality and shows originality in an almost unique personal art form.
Becca ' s Blog
My blog is typically thought as a grunge styled blog, which is where I can express myself and put all my influences into one thing, which is why I love and use my blog so much. The type of things I like to post and share are usually fashion images, but I like the whole idea of expressing thoughts / feelings into it. I also get influences from‘ pastel’ and‘ kawaii’ blogs, which is softer photography, in the modern era.
I would definitely say that my blog encourages what I do, wear and act in my everyday life. For example I like to show off things that I’ d like to wear. I think my blog lets me open up to different ideas and trends that I don’ t normal consider. In effect it actually lets me experiment almost with what I wear.
I would love to explore and take my own photos in this kind of style, since I love it so much. I believe that would be ideal and an opportunity for me to share all my ideas etc to my followers.
I really like the thought that I have followers and can influence them. They will always know that they can contact me for help or advice in my ask box. Overall I’ d say my blog is almost like my creativity in an endless amount of pages.
