Pauline Prieto: So old cool

Vintage gets a whole new groove with fresh ensembles, accessories and hairstyles. Truth is, it never really went out of fashion. Be it ‘60s chic, ‘70s retro, ‘80s new wave or even the ‘90s grunge, vintage trends always return to the present with a fresh and innovative take. This was very much visible during the grand opening of the Fashion Academy Manila where girls paraded in lavish hand-me-down items and vintage-inspired pieces.
