Join me next weekend October 8th & 9th vintageexpo in Los Angeles where I'll be signing copies of my book #YourBeautyMark in my booth which is also filled with #vintage and designer clothes from my wardrobe. I first began collecting and wearing vintage clothes in the late 80s because I couldn't afford the designer jeans my friends had. I was always trying to emulate the looks of my favorite fashion designers like Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier by wearing vintage suits and lingerie. I've amassed a huge archive of lingerie and loungewear that I base designs on for my ditavonteeselingerie collection and I also have a big collection of these #1940s era "doll" or "tilt" hats. This photo was taken in the 90s when I loved dressing in head to toe vintage! I'll be at the expo Saturday from 1-2pm and Sunday from 12-1pm to meet you and sign books and photos. Have a look at my Instagram Story for more vintage fashion photos! #retro #glamour #vintagestyle #vintageexpo #ditavonteese
