When some folks hear Vintage, they think of their grandmothers shoulder pads, their mother's bell bottoms and loud sequins. Although we love sequins (who doesn't liek to sparkle) and a flattering pair of pants, there's a lot more to Vintage.

Vintage, by definition, refers to anything in the past of a certain high quality. Relative to clothing, vintage represents the best characteristics of an era. There are items in fashion that withstand the test of time or comes back as a trend in the future. Either way, vintage and retro clothing always manages to stay relevant and can be incorporated in every style... Don't believe us?!

Well, that's why we've created a series that highlights people with different styles and how our apparel can fit their lifestyle....In essence, we pair our vintage clothing with their style. 

Up first, Gary Arbusto of Columbus, Ohio.

His Style Alias: Simple. Edgy. Urban.

We placed him in 3 of our looks to determine if our apparel fit his lifestyle.

What do you think?

  We chose 3 tops that we felt were Gary's style, the Wool Sweater from Gap, the long sleeve Abercrombie and Fitch shirt, and the long sleeve shirt by Ralph Lauren Polo.

DNA, by design, is complex and unique; each component represents a unique facet to each individual’s genetic makeup and serves as a blueprint for who you are.

So how does this relate to fashion and style?

Think of it like this. When you put on an outfit, every time you step into a boutique, browse an online catalogue and/or make a purchase, there are a number of factors that influence the decision you make whether you realize it or not .

So what are these factors that influence you?

We have identified 7 major influences that effect your decisions. While each factor addresses different aspects that impact your fashion and style decisions, they all combine to represent your unique, specialized FashionDNA. With the help of Jessica Luxe, Vancouver’s Edgiest Fashion Blogger (we will get to how dope she is later), we are going to demonstrate these 7 factors…

So each of the 7 factors surrounding Jessica have two options. Keep in mind, there is no right or wrong answer…Whatever influences you is just that… its what makes you, YOU!

In addition, FashionDNA explores your style! The simplest definition of style is perspective. It’s a way of communicating without words. What do your clothes say?

Bold. Versatile. Rebel.

I’m Bold- Unexpected. Unafraid. Unconventional. All these adjectives describe your style. You add an additional layer to your look in an effort to stand out; your friends can expect a hint of the unconventional in any of your outfits

I’m Versatile- Your style is defined by its constant transformation. Your closet is a spectrum of color, cut, designer and materials. Your outfit is what your imagination dictates.

I’m a Rebel- You take risks, whether it’s a fashion do or don’t you embrace your decisions and are more concerned with what message you want your style to convey rather than other’s opinions. There are no rules when it comes to fashion in your book!
