Vintage fashion photographs from Quirky PrintsVintage fashion photographs from years gone by only serve to confirm that our fascination with fashion and vogues, has endured for generations. Different styles of clothing and accessories reflect the influences in society at any given time. They also give us a means of publicly declaring our individuality and personality. Vintage shots of different styles of fashions are not just charming to look at - they can be transformed into really striking and eye-catching fine art photography. Recognising the appeal of vintage fashion photographs, Quirky Prints were keen to hunt out a good selection of them to feature on their new on-line art gallery. Their search for old black and white photographs and images took them to hundreds of antique shops, collectors’ fairs, vintage photograph dealers and specialists around the UK. The resulting collection is literally thousands of hand-picked vintage photographs, on all manner of topics, including landscapes, people, shops, far-flung civilizations and transport from years ago. Among the many black and white, hand coloured and sepia photographs that were collected, was a selection of marvellous vintage fashion photographs. Within a category dedicated to FASHION on their on-line photo gallery, Quirky Prints offers an unusual selection of these unique vintage photographs. Women pose in lavish evening dresses, flamboyant bonnets and luxurious furs. These vintage black and white prints capture all the fine detail of their subjects. Many of the images were also meticulously hand coloured, which adds an extra dimension of charm and appeal to these old prints. These aged, forgotten, but delightful vintage photographs, make stunning framed pictures. They become unique artworks, which can be hung in our home or bought as original and imaginative gifts for friends. No matter we know nothing of the people or places in these old photographs. They are minutes frozen in time - Simply exquisite pictures with their own unique story to tell. They have as much meaning and resonance with us now, as they had for those involved in creating the vintage photographs all those years ago. These original vintage fashion photographs are all reproduced on finest grade, heavyweight art paper, to preserve all the fine detail and quality of the image. They are then enlarged and presented in contemporary metal frames, which have been carefully chosen both to raise the images and to complement any style of home decor. Vintage fashion photographs really make an original interior design idea. Wall decor is often an underestimated interior design accessory - but a necessary one. It makes a home more personal and welcoming, improves the style of interior decoration or decor theme and provides a strong focal point for a room. Having some fine art prints on the walls adds real character to a home. Vintage prints in particular are very impactful, with their arresting images in striking tones of sepia, black and white, or delicate hand colouring. When it comes to interior design ideas and choosing framed art for your home – or for someone else’s space - there are a few things that are helpful to bear in mind. Firstly, think about the room the framed picture is going to be hung in. Is it an office space that would benefit from a scenic or more intriguing framed art – or as bedroom wall decor that needs some more tranquil or romantic imagery? When choosing artwork, you often need to be mindful of the decor theme that they are to be situated in. However, the beauty of vintage prints is that their sepia, black and white or delicate hand colouring works well in any style of interior or decor – modern or traditional, bright or neutral. This makes choosing your wall decor much easier - particularly if it’s as a unique gift - as you can be sure that it will look stunning in its final hanging place. To get the utmost effect from your wall decor, by adding character and a focal point to the living space, you need to consider where and how you want to hang them. Whether it is several images in a tight cluster, one striking vintage art print in a hallway or a large format black and white print above a sitting room sofa, this will help you to decide the size and shape of the Quirky Print you choose to buy. For anyone who is completely uninspired and bored with the same prints offered for sale in the high street – those thousands of similar pictures that appear in thousands of homes across the UK - Quirky Prints offers something new, some different - Something Quirky in fact! There are thirty-four other categories to choose from on the Quirky Prints website - from Agriculture to World War II – with literally thousands of images taken from original vintage photographs. Each of the old black and white photographs has been carefully restored to remove any damage, but preserve the originality of the image. Others have been painstakingly hand coloured or had their original colours restored from the UK specialists in restoring old photos. The result is a remarkable visual time capsule of years passed by and within the collection of vintage fashion photographs on the Quirky Prints website, we can share the sartorial style of generations before us! Please browse our vintage fashion photographs from the Quirky Prints online art gallery and hear the swish of expensive style. |
