Style Icons Closet

Come Raid Style Icons Closet!

When women think of vintage, they imagine old Hollywood glamor or June Cleaver from “Leave It To Beaver.” If that is the case then Style Icons Closet is the closet to raid.

Style Icons Closet is owned and operated by two British sisters who call themselves, Sisi and Mimi. They pride themselves in their simple and quaint collections of handmade goodies. Sisi and Mimi sew everything themselves, creating what they enjoy most about vintage fashion and how they personally envision it.

Style Icons Closet can be compared to a pastel cupcake shop for hungry pin-up fashionistas. A bakery for vintage fashion in the United Kingdom, displaying a large window that is filled with cotton candy colored hues, sugary polka dots and even some samples of a more exotic taste.

It seems that Sisi and Mimi have devoted their time to making Style Icons Closet a polka dot, floral and lace boutique. Their diverse taste in tribal prints though is what really causes their online shop to stand out. Creating old fashion inspired pin up pieces, with bold African tribal prints, makes their small collection pop. Very unique and eccentric, yet this online store keeps the daring yellows, greens and black prints as sweet as their other cupcake colored goodies.

Keeping their designs classic, this online shop is the home to the ever famous pencil dresses, fun party dresses and sexy little black dresses for a night filled with cocktails. As mentioned earlier, Sisi and Mimi create everything by hand. Filling their shop with designs from the heart, every stitch is a thread of pure undying passion for vintage and pin-up fashion. They make dresses for the customer, asking for measurements to create a perfectly tailored piece of pinup artwork.

Customers have the option of choosing their own fabrics and measurements, while Sisi and Mimi offer high quality customer service. They offer, not only dresses, but tops, skirts, petticoats and jackets.

If a pin up girl is looking for the classic stylings of a 1940 and 1950′s fashion icon, Style Icons Closet is the obvious choice. Never dull, always adorable and fabulous!

Dead Threads – Never Fitting In Amongst The Living

Dead Threads – Never Fitting In Amongst The Living

The darker side of society is rarely ever seen with accepting eyes, especially the dark side of the fashion industry.

Dead Threads may sound a little morbid but the online store is fully alive and well. Dead Threads is passionate about punk, goth and grunge fashion. One may not even believe that deep within the chambers of this website, that rockabilly fashion is in abundance and is just as stylish as ever.

Dead Threads designers think of themselves as “the nail that just won’t be hammered in”, reflecting their eccentric stand against normal society through their fashion. Dead Threads started it’s engine in the year 2005, revving up success through constantly creating and putting out new and fresh designs. Founded in The United Kingdom, Dead Threads now has veins connecting to The United States, Canada, Australia and throughout Europe.

When people normally think about rockabilly fashion they imagine the rough retro look of almost trashy glamor. Mismatched tops and bottoms, loud prints and bright cherry red bandanas. Dead Threads offers a little more of an alternative style, catching people off guard with buckled boots and prints of anchors, cupcakes and zebra stripes. Bringing the metallic twinge of goth into rockabilly can create a spontaneous and exciting wardrobe. Adding spikes, studs, and chains to a classic cut 1950s dress may seem a little scary but in reality it’s a sexy and bold fashion statement.

Souls that are entwined with the punk, goth, and vintage styles will find peace in Dead Threads. Their rockabilly collection coming alive in the sultry night time like 1950 vampires. There is no shame in a person wearing a metal buckled rockabilly dress with a vibrant colored bandana, holding back their tenderly curled hair. Dead threads doesn’t have much for bright colors, mostly donning black with some reds, blues and sparse neon colors.

So finding a curve fitting cheetah spotted dress isn’t going to happen. Dead Threads sticks to what it knows and what its passionate about, bringing the world unique and dark fashion that awakens the senses. Rockabilly ladies shouldn’t shy away from punk rock and goth fused fashion. They’ll never know what they can find.
