Let’s get nostalgic with Lalita!
Posted by: | CommentsWith the world’s economy falling on hard times, here at DSUK we believe that it’s fundamental for our lovely customers to get the most out of what they spend. As we face the world’s longest post-war recession, maybe it’s time we look back at the 1930′s to see how fashionistas back then kept themselves looking fabulous; with Lalita’s stunning range of infinitely stylish pieces on offer that 1930′s charm can easily be awoken here at DSUK. As the Great Depression loomed fashion took on a more conservative approach, skirts became longer and waistlines became higher in order to achieve that more elegantly feminine look.
However no fear! It’s not all doom and gloom, with Lalita having a dedicated approach to carefully sourcing their items to find a unique and exquisite range of vintage pieces, it means you will not be short of bagging yourself that one-off item totally worth all your hard earned money. They offer a delightful choice of Italian leather purses from the likes of Harvey Nichols, adorable handbags from designers such as Balenciaga, some absolutely beautiful silk scarves and an eclectic range of clothing from elegant evening dresses to sophisticated dinner jackets plus much more to help you find that winning investment piece to last you a lifetime!
Plus, with Dior’s recently released J’adore short film and its use of C.G.I to feature some of the greatest icons of fashion such as Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe there has begun a great revival of that vintage Hollywood glamour. So why not pop along to our next sale on 21/10/2011 at The Music Rooms, Mayfair and pay Lalita a little visit so that you can try mixing vintage charm with modern day looks to pull off contemporary sophistication- by combining the conservative yet chic trends of the 1930′s with modern day styles it will achieve a timeless look that can only be done by splashing your cash on specially sourced items that no one else will have!
