About Kirsten Expertise I can answer most questions regarding the history of fashion and the industry, within the last eighty years. I have a special focus on the sixties, as well as the seventies. I can answer questions regarding fashion trends, icons, designers, and trends and clothing that was specific to a certain decade. I will research every question asked of me until I find an answer.
Experience I am a fashion enthusiast and aficionado, and have an impressive collection of Vogues, Harper's Bazaars, and Women's Wear Dailies spanning from the fifties to the present. My grandmother was a photographer's assistant for Harper's Bazaar in the fifties and sixties and later became a fashion model. I am particularly well-informed when it comes to vintage, bohemian-inspired clothing and know the best boutiques to find these clothes in New York, Dallas, and especially Los Angeles, as well as the best online stores. I have done extensive research in the field of fashion history, and have an abundance of resources, and consider myself a well-rounded expert when it comes to fashion and its history.
Question I purchased a "vintage" dress that has a label and tag stating the name "Caledonia". The tag line reads "Knitwear by European crafters". The tag has a price of $150. There is another tag, probably attached by the store from which I purchased, that says "vintage 1960s".. I have googled, searched ebay and can not finde anything about this dress... I have searched undr European clothing crafters, under the specific name "Caledonia" - nothing comes up. Do you know the name or where I can go to learn more?
many thanksw
Answer Hi Karla. Sorry but I did some research and nothing has come up regarding "caledonia." This was most likely a line of clothing popular in the 1960's and is now discontinued. Sorry for the lack of info, I'll do some more research, and if I find anything I'll be sure to let you know.
