I cannot tell you the sensation the women who shared their private collections with me felt when they saw their handmade well-loved clothes styled and photographed. The new life in them was contagious. So jump into fall with vintage and second hand on your back. It is good for you, the ones who share it with you and so much more!
Thank you Nina Campioni for the photographs, your time, your talent and all our giggles.
