Vintage fashion versus historical fashion; where does the line get drawn, and can we all even decide on a definitive point where historical fashion and antiques then become vintage? That's why I reached out to @KarolinaZebrowskax, a daily wearer of vintage fashion who also has experience with historical costuming. I'm a daily wearer of historical fashion (replicas, not antiques), so I think this would be the perfect opportunity to facilitate a conversation about vintage vs. historical, and our experiences wearing them daily. How do the two experiences differ? What are our thoughts on how the world sees those who wear historical clothing as everyday dress? The lines are often blurred so we attempt to bring clarity to a sometimes murky subject. Though we may maybe just make waters even murkier 😂
