Vintage in the News



From remakes of old movies to books encouraging boys to get their faces out of their video games and their butts outside to build go-karts and treehouses to fashion runways to retro modern furniture design to kitchenware emulating design of the past, Vintage is a growing trend being embraced from here to Paris and beyond.

The Independent Saturday Magazine UK writer John Walsh takes a stab at explaining the "Retro Explosion". His article sets the stage for a number of "retro delights" you can click your way through. Though his suppositions may make sense in some regard there is always just this: A: They don't make things the way they used to. B: There was a certain vibrancy in mid-century design we haven't seen since; enduring style (like that little black dress in the back of your closet that will never be out of style), lickable colors and endearing futuristic qualities bordering on cartoonish.

Have a boo at the article in the WCF Courier entitled "Time to Shine".
