New Dealers at Vintage Modes!

Here at Grays we recently launched a competition in collaboration with Homes & Antiques to find two new vintage dealers to join the Vintage Modes Collective. We are happy to introduce our two fantastic winners as Tanya R Vintage, who won first prize of six months rent-free pop-up space and Amanda Langham, who won the runner-up prize of three months rent-free pop-up space.

Tanya R Vintage

Tell us about Tanya R Vintage..

I am a dealer in vintage clothes, accessories and costume jewellery.

What first interested you in vintage fashion?

Impossible to pinpoint an exact moment. My mother has an innate sense of style and I remember admiring her clothes when I was young.

How long have you been dealing for?

I have been dealing on and off for many years.

What was your first job?

As a curator at the V&A Museum.

What is the best thing about being a dealer?

Finding ‘treasures’ in unexpected places. The detective work/research that an item can lead to. Also meeting interesting customers and collectors.

..And the worst?

Only being able to take a fraction of my stock when doing a vintage fair can be frustrating.

What is your favourite fashion decade?

1920s – 1930s.

Tell us a secret?

I have dusted the china in 10 Downing Street!

Amanda Langham

Tell us about Amanda Langham Vintage..

Amanda Langham, I sell 1940s and 50s clothing and 1960s-80s interesting pieces. Vintage designer labels, velvet opera coats, glitz and glam wear, and accessories with a passion for vintage hats.

What first interested you in vintage fashion?

Watching old black and white movies when I was younger. I fell in love with both music and fashion from the 1940s and 50s.

How long have you been dealing for?

About 15 years.

What was your first job?

A personal assistant with a recruitment company.

What is the best thing about being a dealer?

It is great meeting the customers and seeing a wide variety of colourful characters, but in particular it’s when a customer finds that special item and loves it.

..And the worst?

Sourcing a piece of vintage but realising that it will never fit me, or not being able to restore a piece of amazing vintage to its former glory.

What is your favourite fashion decade?

1940s although a growing passion for Art Deco 1920s-30s coats is emerging! Hopefully I will find one or two for Vintage Modes.

Tell us a secret?

I am also a vocalist.

V&A: You Say You Want a Revolution? Records and Rebels 1966-1970

The late 1960s was a revolutionary time for music as well as politics. The V&A's new exhibition covers the fast-changing period from 1966-1970. From global civil rights, multiculturalism, environmentalism, consumerism and computing and community, to neo-liberal politics, You Say You Want a Revolution?... investigates the upheaval, the explosive sense of freedom, and the legal  changes that took place during this period, resulting in a fundamental shift in  the mindset of the Western  world.

More than 350 objects  encompassing  photography, posters, literature, music, design, film, fashion, artifacts and performance that defined the counterculture will illustrate the way that a whole generation shook off the confines of the past and their parents, radically revolutionising the way they lived their lives.
