Leading vintage fashion clothing Dealers, from all over the UK and abroad, gather under one roof to share their prized stash of highly sought-after wares spanning from 1800 to 1980. Visitors will find an array of handbags, linen, lace, embroidery, shoes, hats, gowns, chiffons, beaded dresses, textiles, needle work, necklaces, gloves, trimmings, fashion magazines, costume jewellery, feathers boas, compacts, combs, fans \u2026\u2026 and all more competitively priced than in trendy shops and at auctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fair\u2019s relaxed, informal and magical atmosphere belies the consistently high standards maintained by the Organisers.

Attracting visitors from all over the world, it has become a Mecca for fashion designers, costumiers, models, trend-spotters, vintage fans and fashion students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story behind the Vintage Fashion Fair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The show is the brain child of Paola Francia-Gardiner and Alberto Ricca (Paola is the creative force and Alberto the organisational supreme). An experienced antique dealer, Paola used to buy, sell and indeed wear vintage fashion in the late 70\u2019s. At that time, she got to know lot of people who were selling vintage clothes. By the early 90\u2019s the market was almost dead \u2013 no one was buying the clothes because the fashion scene had move on. The dealers were complaining to her that they had lot of stock and did not know what to do with it. With an innovative approach, in 1999 she decided to organise a fair that incorporated not just vintage clothes but also accessories and textiles. And it was indeed Paola who first coined the term \u201cvintage fashion\u201d that is now widely used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past nineteen years, P & A Antiques have been organising specialist Events. For the past twelve years have been based at the magnificent large Hall at Hammersmith Town Hall, putting together around nine Vintage Fashion Fair a year as well as other fairs dedicated to Antique Textiles, Tribal Art and Decorative Antiques Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
