"That's what you call a really self-explanatory title. Suffice to say that this lovingly researched, intuitively organized handbook the product of a collaboration between a top Hollywood costume designer and a renowned fashion columnist is a must for vintage-attire freaks at home, on the road or online." —S.G. "Retro Chic! is the ultimate in the know guide to finding the good stuff in store and online." —Jan Lindstrom, Fashion writer, Daily Variety Although the resale industry has always been international, a nice American Guide has just been published that travelin' women, who are resale devotees in America and traveling to America, would enjoy. The compilers, Eden and Lintermans, did a fine job on this Guide and it's no surprise that they did. Both are accomplished women in the fashion world, although they don't share the same route. No matter. They know the fashion industry and have a combined finger on the pulse of trends and resale. Their journalism style is as good as their organization skills. The Guide is nicely divided by geography, by alphabet, by price range of merchandise, by bricks and mortar shops and Internet shops. An excerpted focus for part of the Guide shows their talent in writing: 'Today's interest in vintage fashion is very exciting, and it's wonderful to see the individuality it allows men and women who like to dress with unique style. The vintage and resale marketplace not only allows us to look our creative best, regardless of budget, but with an awareness of our environment — recycling at its most beautiful.'
