Tops & Blouses

Threads of Character: Patterns, Collars, and Soul

There is something so personal about a vintage blouse—the way a 70s butterfly collar or a 40s padded shoulder can completely change your energy. I love hunting for those unique prints and delicate fabrics that you just can't find in modern malls. Whether it's the "Flashdance" style off-the-shoulder tops or the chic pussy-bow blouses of the 60s, I’ve archived these pieces to show how a simple "top" can be a masterpiece of retro culture.
