MQ Vienna Fashion Week Vintage Closing Show
Wearing vintage is one of the best ways to spice up your look, give it a unique touch and be good to the environment by giving a new life to an old piece. And plus, how cool is it to know that nobody can be wearing the exact same piece as you? The Vienna Fashion Week this year ended with a Vintage Fashion show powered by Humana People to People, and it was amazing! Humana is an organisation that uses the proceeds of the collected and sold clothing to raise awareness and work on projects that fight poverty and inequality around the world.
The vintage lover that I am, when I heard about a vintage fashion show I was already really excited, but boy I could not have expected such an spectacle full of music, colour and laughs. Each and every model on the catwalk was super fun and fully into their role, plus I loved the fact that most of the people were not professional models but people from all ages and body types, which really added to the authenticity and feel of the show. It showed fashion from the last 60 years, divided into different decades, every one accompanied by the coolest music choices and most of the times also by live performances and dancing acts. Mario Soldo, the director of the show even dressed up and got into the role of a model a couple of times as well! I definitely could not stop laughing and admiring the outfits they put together, which seriously served as a new inspiration for more vintage in my life. Here are some impressions that have hopefully captured the atmosphere of the show.
My favourite part was the this sassy lady singing 'I'm every woman' - she was so cool and had so much character, still not sure if it was her or the guys in speedos walking around her though.
Here are some of my favourite addresses in Vienna and online where you can shop some great vintage finds:
Humana Wien 7. Lerchenfelder Str. 45-47
My personal favourite where you find also reworked vintage and there is always a pair of vintage Levi's cutoffs for everyone:
The Blonde Salad since recently has a tiny but lovely vintage section on their website:
Hope you enjoy thrifting through these as much as me <3
Try something new for 30 days challenge
Thanks to the lovely Polina I stumbled across this TED talk and it was just the reminder I needed of how important it is to take our time every day for fun, creative things that really bring us joy. And guess what, according to this TED talk 30 days seems to be enough to form a habit, so I decided to take the challenge and blog every day for 30 days, starting Saturday :) I created D Golden Hour as my own little place for creativity and beauty, but the crazy schedule since I started my master program and, let's face it, the way I set my priorities, has been keeping me away from it. Honestly, I believe that everything you set your mind to you can achieve, regardless of a crazy schedule, so here it goes, I'm taking this challenge to blog about things that excite me for 30 days straight :D
As me and my Entrepreneurship Avenue team were brainstorming marketing campaigns about our conference the other day and thinking about people walking down roads, I came to realise I actually always liked roads and particularly taking pictures on dusty straight roads, cause well, I don't know, to me they kind of symbolise that idea of taking a chance, going after your wishes and dreams and well, just pursuing whatever it is you want to pursue :) So here are my road photos that I found somewhere deep down the Bonaire photos folders ;)

Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn
1. Audrey Hepburn photographed by Mark Shaw on the set of Sabrina, 1953
Audrey Hepburn - an actress, style icon and philanthropist. She was born in Belgium in 1929 and studied classic ballet before starting her movie career in London. She already starred in Broadway’s Gigi at the young age of 22. She is recognised as one of the greatest female screen legends of all time and sets new fashion standards after starring in Breakfast at Tiffany’s as Holly Golightly. Hepburn is one of few actresses to win an Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Awards. She also devoted a lot of her time to humanitarian work in her later years. I don't think we need any more reasons to have a look at some of her less known photos and get inspired by her life and timeless sense of style.
