In with the old as vintage comes back into fashion

Can you imagine being so dedicated to vintage clothing that you wear it to work, going out at night, even doing your weekly shop? 

Caroline Allen met three women who dress vintage because they love the look, the superior quality and as a gentle protest against fast fashion and fast living.

LOOKS from the 1960s and early 1970s are stealing a march on the catwalks as minis, maxis, geometric prints, capes and knee boots turn back time. But some dedicated fashionistas are choosing to wear authentic vintage clothing day in day out, regardless of Irish weather and the often unforgiving nature of old fabrics.
