Vintage Boom of East London

Brick Lane 2012

Vintage shopping is booming, especially in East London, where you can choose your favourite markets between so many choices. During the recession nostalgia mood is common, but how do we explain the new generations fascination towards historical styles?

There is something different in the nostalgia today. It is not so much about melancholy and longing to the past times. Instead it is more quirky, fun and uplifting way of using past references and  iconic styles.
