On Trend Vintage: Monochrome

black-and-white-vintage-clothes.jpg

This is the second in my new series of On Trend Vintage posts, a series created to demonstrate that you can be both ‘in season’ and vintage at the same time. Last week I shared my top picks of pastels. This week I'm translating the catwalk's monochrome trend to vintage. Before you get going there's one key rule; no grey!  The  monochrome trend for Spring/Summer 2014 sees designers at  Ralph Lauren, Diane von Furstenberg, Balenciaga,  Sportmax, Missoni, Kenzo (and even queen of footballer's wives Victoria Beckham) ditching wishy-washy greyscale in favor of high contrast black and white. Here's my picks of vintage finds fit for this seasons black and white trend.
