Emma Stone rewore her Louis Vuitton wedding reception look to this year’s Gala.from Marilyn Monroe’s wardrobe – cannot be altered. “Changes to a dress are a balance between it working perfectly for the woman who is going to wear it and respecting the design as it is intended,” says Balch of prioritising fashion history over celebrity endorsement. “It’s been devastating [to say no], but it is the right decision for the dress.
So, where did all the luxury vintage go? Many pieces have been lost or ruined over the years, because of poor storage or inadequate care. Added to the fact there weren’t tonnes of a particular garment made in the first place, and anyone who has trawled eBay for hours will tell you it can feel like a losing game. “Mass production in the ’60s was a couple of hundred dresses, not millions like it is now,” explains Cherie, who notes that it was only recently that people began to value vintage.
Balch might believe that vintage will never be more than a micro red-carpet trend, but that means the rare pieces she finds will shine all the brighter when they do get their moment.
