Our Editorial Focus: Vintage Casino Fashion and Glamour
Beyond the rails, our blog delves deep into the world of vintage casino fashion, retro Vegas style, and the unparalleled 1960s casino glamour. We draw direct inspiration from the suave sophistication of films like Ocean’s Eleven and the enduring allure of Las Vegas’s golden age.
The Glamour of 1960s Casino Wear
The 1960s epitomised casino glamour: think sleek tuxedos, column gowns in silk shantung, and sophisticated cocktail dresses. It was an era where dressing for the casino was an event in itself, a theme celebrated at events like the UK’s own Vintage Festival at Goodwood. Our editorial team explores the fabrics, silhouettes, and designers that made this decade so iconic.
Retro Vegas Style: Then and Now
From the Rat Pack’s sharp tailoring at the Sands to the showgirl extravagance of the Folies Bergère, retro Vegas style is a genre of its own. We trace its evolution and examine how its bold, glamorous essence continues to influence modern fashion, proving that true style is always in vogue.
