An aesthetic defined



I just came across this New York Times article from July, which pins down and gives a name to a style that's been gradually gaining a lot of momentum: the "New Vintage". So that's what you call it.

I was into the New Pretty rage ages ago, but I felt it was missing something. It was missing wonder, oddity, the fantastic and the strange. Now New Vintage comes along.... *happy*

Well, New Pretty is an assortment of bold graphic prints, Scandinavian-inspired decor (clean, whimsical lines), organic shapes. It was all over Elle Decor and Domino.

I do like new vintage, minus the taxidermy. The wunderkammen feel is nice.
