Real, chic and vintage at Swish

You don’t have to be a stylist or a fashion student to get the hang of vintage style. Stacey Malvern tore herself away from hunting for treasure at the biggest ever Swish, at the V&A this weekend, to snap these gorgeous women doing vintage with style.

Corinne, 49, got this 1940s dress from the Swish: “It had been left behind, probably because it doesn’t look much like this, but it’s a good quality material and shape.” Her coat is a secondhand designer piece, inherited from a friend. Corinne’s dress and scarf are “about 20-years-old!”. Boots and bag from Marks & Spencer.
