Vintage Appreciation


Check out this vintage Vogue cover! The May 1941 Summer Beauty Issue, designed by Horst P. Horst. I believe that's 69 years ago this month... and still gorgeous!

1960s Inspired Looks from C. Madeleine's




1960s inspired looks from C. Madeleine's at last Saturday's vintage fashion showcase
at the Viceroy.

Over 70 looks were modeled spanning every era from the 1920s to the 1990s,
an over the top array from the eras of fashion represented in the C. Madeleine's
vintage designer clothing showroom and website that can be mixed with today's
pieces for a sophisticated balance of past and present. The stylish turnout made
for a fabulous afternoon with Danny Santiago, stylists, fashion designers and
fashion afficianados alike.

C. Madeleine's Madeleine Kirsh and supporters of Community Partnership for the
Homeless raised money for the new WOMENADE campaign, which aids area women in their
times of need. A great showing for a fun inaugural event!
