There is one fashion lesson we can all learn from Kim Kardashian<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

T<\/span>his week, Kim Kardashian’s bottom has- not for the first time- been the subject of worldwide attention. Unsurprisingly perhaps, given she was in Mexico wearing a pair of high-cut bikini briefs which left few of her infamous curves to the imagination. You could be forgiven for assuming that there is little we can take away from this episode, fashion-wise, but raise your eyes to Kardashian’s crop-top.<\/p>\n

The 1980s Dolce and Gabbana grey t-shirt, which is laced and artfully tied at the midriff, was sourced for Kardashian by her stylist Avigail Claire<\/a> from Open for Vintage<\/a>, an online destination which is bringing an easy and luxurious spin to vintage shopping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

T<\/span>his wasn’t the first occasion that Kardashian has turned to pieces sourced from Open for Vintage to create one of her signature impactful fashion moments. Back in February, she chose a sumptuous midi-lengt\u00a0Escada\u00a0velvet skirt for a Valentine’s night out with Kanye. Later that week, she stepped out in LA wearing a \u00a0Yeezy bomber jacket (her husband’s fashion collection) accessorised with Valentino sunglasses, from Open for Vintage’s selection.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, this isn’t all some kind of guerilla advertising campaign for Open for Vintage, but the results of Claire and Kardashian’s genuine dedication to shopping for original additions to the latter’s wardrobe. “Kim’s stylist just called us one day,” says Sarah Byrne, one of Open for Vintage’s founders. “It’s incredible because she doesn’t expect to be gifted- I have so much respect for that.”<\/p>\n

Once Claire had made a selection for Kardashian, Open for Vintage dispatched them to her with the expectation that it would be months before she wore anything- after all, her wardrobe is famously vast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I<\/span>n fact, almost within hours, Kardashian sported that Escada skirt and the effect was instant. “Our traffic went from good, organic and solid to off-the-scale,” remembers Byrne. “There was a hundred-fold increase in traffic from around the world. You really can’t buy this kind of opportunity.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

W<\/span>hile Byrne is a\u00a0long-term devotee of vintage- her fascination began as a child, watching her father who was passionate about conservation and antiques at work- she does understand that it can be a confusing foray for many of us, often sparking a fear that\u00a0by wearing vintage, we’ll look dated. Never mind the faff of trying to find the perfect piece in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
