Vogue 100: A Century of Style

This year is Conde Nast Vogue's centenary and to celebrate, the magazine will be running several special magazines, exhibitions and events. To kick off the celebrations, this Thursday, 11 February the National Portrait Gallery will be launching a new exhibition centred around Vogue. 

The 'Vogue 100: A Century of Style' exhibition will feature over 280 prints of Vogue shoots and covers, showcasing the fantastic range of photography that has been commissioned over the years. The prints on show will go back as far as 1916, when British Vogue was founded. A lot of the items on show have never before been seen by the general public.

Here at Vintage Modes we think it's an exhibition not to be missed, and to celebrate we're sharing our favourite Vogue shoots featuring our dealers!

Introducing Geeta Handa of C-ATOMIC!

We are pleased to announce a new addition to the team at Vintage Modes! British designer Geeta Handa of C-ATOMIC has created a beautiful display of individually designed vintage inspired dresses and accessories. Her influence for this collection mainly comes from the 1970s but does add a touch of the retro 50s and stylish 60s. The designs feature timeless silhouettes with an added ethnic touch to create the perfect balance between bohemian fashion and effortless chic.

Geeta also offers a bespoke couture dress making service to make you stand out from the crowd. Additionally, clients receive a fashion portrait sketched out by Geeta herself, which makes a perfect gift along with any purchase.

Personal favourites from the collection are the white chiffon dresses with floaty sleeves. These can be worn dressed up or down, and when paired with gladiator sandals and a fringe bag, would be perfect to wear to this season's festivals.

We asked Geeta a few questions...

What first interested you in vintage fashion?
The idea of a timeless classic piece that never goes out of style was the reason I first started designing.

Do you have a favourite fashion icon? 
1970s icon, Brigitte Bardot, influences my designs, with a piece in my collection even being named after her. 

How do you gather inspiration for your beautiful designs?
I like to travel in order to gain inspiration and have just come back from a trip to Paris. Indian Textiles and the British Raj Era also inspire this collection.

Below are a few designs from her current collection:
