In 2021 it is certain that retrieving the historical memory of a brand is very trendy, if we also add the Green Factor of choice. Recycling designer clothes even for us mere mortals is an environmentally friendly move, that’s for sure, but we must not hide that it also fuels a desire to emphasize one’s individuality in the face of the homogeneity of Instagram.

In any case, when we then observe one celeb with a vintage look we let ourselves be transported instantly to the chosen decade.
