The Vintage Redux Contest
Hello friends! Today I’m announcing a pretty fun project that I’ve teamed up with some pretty rad ladies from online shop Fancy French Cologne and clothing line Vain & Vapid on. So in the support of “making it happen”, indie designers, and independent shop owners, I’m pleased to announce the Vintage Redux Contest!
The contest invites enthusiasts of vintage fashion to submit an image of their personal fashion icon—be it Jane Fonda a la 1963, or a photo of their own mother looking hot in the ’70s. The photo must feature a dress or top from 1930 – 1980 for a chance to win a recreation of their item, as re-imagined by NY designer Vain & Vapid. Two runners up will also win gift certificates for $50 to Fancy French Cologne, where a limited run of the winning item will be on sale at the end of the contest.
1. Email an image (jpg or tiff) of your vintage icon to vintageredux@fancyfrenchcologne.com
3. Winners will be announced on Monday, June 6th, 2011.

What a completely awesome idea. I think you should include hats as well as tops. There really aren’t enough high structure well designed clothing out there (especially for women) and this would allow some of us to have great reproductions of the most perfect clothing in the world! Neeto!
