FASHION IS ART

Vintage Dress Closet was founded as a labor of love for fashion that can only be considered "Fashion as Art".

Art that started as a vision in a designer’s mind to the creation of the final piece, and every stage in between. Most often the best vintage pieces were treasured possessions and many owners wanted them to live on and be enjoyed for the work of art that they are.

The pieces we offer here are hand-picked on the basis of being trend conscious, high quality, and "artistic" with some WOW factor. For you the buyer, buying a pre-loved garment allows you to buy a high end, quality, one of a kind piece, at a fraction of the cost of new.

Our pieces are meant to be worn and stand up to the demands of a busy life. Too much of today's fashion is cookie cutter, fast fashion that is meant to be worn today and disposed tomorrow. Our pieces are not only beautiful and unique but original, sustainable garments that were built to last. As works of art, they are timeless.

The term ‘fast fashion’ has become a hot button issue in conversations surrounding fashion, sustainability and environmental consciousness. The term means cheaply produced and priced garments that rip off the latest catwalk styles and get pumped out quickly through stores in order to maximize on current trends. Once the trend is over, the garment is disposed of. This process is having a devastating effect on our precious natural resources and energy, and contributes to pollution and global warming. It exploits cheap labor and adds millions of pounds of waste to landfills annually. Please, make the choice to wear pre-loved and cherished, second hand clothing.
