Last night I attended a most fascinating event held at the St Kilda Library on the
history of vintage clothes. Speaking, was the delightful Nicole Jenkins, owner
Nicole is a bit of legend around the vintage traps, but I had no idea just how
knowledgeable and dedicated one has to be to run a business like hers.
It's not a matter of buying a nice, old frock, giving it a hand-wash and chucking
it on the rack. Hours (and hours and hours) of cleaning, repairing,
re-stitching beads, unpicking and resewing, often go into each garment.
sounds like a neat event!
