MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Retro Stage, a vintage fashion brand known for its unique takes on timeless 20th-century styles, recently announced the launch of their latest collection, which is inspired by real fashion sketches made by iconic designers from the last hundred years.
The collection focuses primarily on styles inspired by the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, featuring popular motifs from these eras such as vibrant colors, bold patterns, and defined waistlines. Notably, Retro Stage has also released high-quality images of the design team's original sketches for each piece in the collection.
"The most fundamental step in designing is creating a sketch," said the Retro Stage team, "and we're excited to pay tribute to this underappreciated aspect of fashion history with our new collection. It's exhilarating to think about the fact that we're going through the same process as all the great designers that came before us. Immersing ourselves in those raw illustrations really helps us get into the right headspace to create new vintage pieces, and at the end of the day, that's what Retro Stage has always been about—keeping these aesthetics in the spotlight and giving them a chance to be loved by a modern audience."
Retro Stage's designers stated that their approach to this collection was, naturally, focusing on designer sketches as their inspiration. After compiling a diverse array of material from famous figures like Christian Dior and Marjorie Field, they noted which design elements stuck out as being the most interesting and what traits seem to have defined the trends of the time. From there, these elements were carefully combined with modern motifs to create looks that represent something entirely separate from the past or present. Each piece is, in essence, made to feel timelessly beautiful.
This collection brings illustrations to life in the form of comfortable short dresses and flattering swimsuits that are perfect for summertime leisure. Every last detail is painstakingly crafted to be faithful to—and sometimes to improve on—the concept sketches in order to accurately reflect the designers' intentions. A selection of highlights hand-picked by the Retro Stage team can be found below.
Those interested in this exciting collection are encouraged to head to the Retro Stage website to explore the full range of brand-new fashion options available to them. Retro Stage would like to extend their gratitude to customers old and new as they continue pursuing their mission of fusing vintage charm with contemporary flair to create innovative, never-before-seen garments that each tell their own story.
