Kitchen Couture!





Whilst today we may not like the idea of conforming to the ways of your stereotypical 1950s housewife, there's one thing I certainly would like to take from them...


The Apron.

( a.k.a 'The Pinny'!)


Okay, the apron is undoubtedly a 'protective outer garment' with a functional purpose, but why does that have to stop us from looking fabulous in the kitchen?
Yes, a coat or jacket has a functional purpose, but it doesn't mean to say we will wear any old scruffy mac to keep us warm and dry... what if someone sees me? 




I for one have dived head first into the revival of the cupcake, and am not about to let a little flour and eggs ruin my original 1960s shift! So here we have it... the height of kitchen couture, the lovely, the stylish, the 'pinny'!!




We have a wide range of aprons available on our eBay store; see above for some ideas!





Until the next infliction of my opinion...

Armstrongs Street View X2

Charlotte Repton is taking a little nod to the 50s with this outfit! A student, Charlotte's favourite eras are the 50 & 60s. Her style Icon is Amanda Palmer. We love her red denim jacket!

Ella Fordyce takes her fashion cues from deathrock, and her favourite eras range from the70s-90s. Robert Smith is a style icon. We love purple hair with the neon greens!

Stuart Mcmaster is going classic 50s Americana here! He loves the 1920s, and a good cravat! The green and brown look great together.
Carina Letzas, a art student, is looking casual and cool here. We love her boots. Carina is inspired by fairytales, and loves all eras!
