Fashion - Today and in Twenty Years Ahead

Clothes has always been a way for humans to express their personalities. Over the years fashion has changed in many ways but some items have constantly returned. Today vintage clothing is very popular and we believe that it will continue to be popular, even in twenty years from now.

Nowadays there is a big financial crisis over the world. People lose their jobs and established companies are working hard not to go bankrupt. Even the fashion industry works hard to survive and because of that clothes that were cheap a year ago have now become expensive.
We believe that the financial crisis definitely will get better, but that people who have experienced this crisis will get more careful with their money and start buying more vintage clothes. Today vintage is very popular and we think that as the time goes by, it will get more and more popular.
Our theory is also that people will start to think more about the environment and how to make it better. We believe that will be another reason for people to buy vintage clothes: it's better for the environment. Factories don't have to make new clothes if people realize that it’s better to recycle old clothes.
Before we wrote this article, we tried to read as many blogs as possible to find out what young girls and boys think about vintage. Today there are millions of people writing blogs about fashion of today, yesterday and in the future. We thought that someone must write about vintage, and as we started reading we found that many people, girls especially, write a lot about vintage clothes.
That made us happy. It’s nice to see that the youth of today knows about vintage clothing and how to recycle clothes by selling and buying from each other. We think it’s important to be as friendly to the environment as possible and we hope, and believe, that the sale of vintage will increase and that the youth of today will tell their children to be nice to the environment and buy vintage clothes

What is vintage clothing?
Stores selling vintage clothes have become very popular in recent years. Many people might be curious about the difference between vintage and just plain old. Generally speaking, clothing produced before 1920 is considered to be antique but most clothing produced between 1920 and the late 1970s is considered vintage.
