First published: 28-06-2010

There is a growing demand for vintage fashion items at the moment, an industry expert has said.

Sally Stanton of Sally's Jewellery, emphasised that consumers like to feel that they own something truly unique.

"Why go and get something which is a copy of an original that you can own yourself and be different? That's why people always go back to vintage," she commented.

Ms Stanton highlighted that silver jewellery is particularly in vogue at the moment, mainly because it is both glamorous and wearable.

There are many top manufacturers that make vintage-style timepieces, such as Hamilton Watches.

ELLE, the world's biggest fashion magazine, recently announced the launch of Premium Vintage, a new series that explores how vintage influences current fashion and trends.

Created in partnership with ELLE and Embassy Row and presented by Vanity Fair lingerie, the stylish video web series premiered on June 8th at ELLE.com.
