SATURDAY SIX: Six reasons to buy and wear vintage fashion

LONG before vintage was cool, I was a massive fan of vintage clothing and accessories.

I’VE already decided what I’m going to wear if I live to be a ripe ol’ age. I’m going to wear ballgowns and over the top frocks alongside lots of faux fur and huge sparkly jewellery. Yes folks, I’ve already got my future wardrobe for when I’m an old lady, well and truly planned out. So this week, when I watched the brilliant C4 documentary Fabulous Fashionistas, I was smiling

LIFE: A Saturday night with Germaine Greer

AT about 8pm on Saturday night, I was battling with myself not to cry. I wasn’t watching X-Factor or a sad soppy film. Nor was I at a wedding or in the middle of a heated argument.
