Sa invatam de la maestrii, prima lectie de la Couture Allure. Un blog simplu, fara un design pompos cu ilustratii tip tapet sau Pinup Girls, nimic iesit din comun pana aici. Modelul e simplu, fotografii + text. Pare a fi o metoda elementara de a te face remarcat, insa, ce poate nu observa multi sau nu iau in considerare sunt referintele.

Datarea nu este o simpla cifra ci acesteia ii este atribuita povestea unui anumit designer sau interpretarea unei anumite perioade din punct de vedere al modei, nu strict al afacerii de "vintage". Poate ce le lipseste siteurilor si blogurilor romanesti este tocmai legatura cu moda unei anumite perioade si nu cu afacerea in sine, lucru ce atesta cumva pasiunea pentru domeniu.

Pe langa blogul Couture Allure exista si magazinul online. La fel de simplu, categoriile sunt facute in functie de tipul de haina iar daca vrei sa cauti o anumita rochie, vei gasi despre fiecare in parte toate datele necesare. Pe langa datare, designer, zona de unde provine, plus descrierea modelului. Asa mi se pare profesionist si asa incep sa inteleg si eu de ce o piesa este vintage si de ce treguie sa platesc sume uriase.

Let's learn from masters, first lesson from Couture Allure. A simple blog without a flamboyant design with wallpaper type of illustration or Pinup Girls, nothing out of the ordinary up here. The model is simple, photos + text. Sounds like a very elementary way to make you noticed, however, what others don't seem to take into account are references.

Dating is not just a figure but its story is assigned to a particular designer or interpretation of a certain period in terms of fashion, not strictly "vintage"business. Maybe what Romanian sites and blogs are missing is the correlation with fashion, with a certain period and not the business in itself, which also can prove the passion they have for vintage.

In addition to the blog, Allure Couture has an online store. Simple as the blog, categories are made according to the type of clothes and if you want to search a certain dress, you will find on each all necessary information. Besides dating, designer, area of origin, plus description of the model. This is professional and this is the way I begin to understand why a certain piece is vintage and why I should pay for it .
