Follow Me on Pinterest

vintage signed courreges poster

I’m keeping my eye on this eBay auction for a vintage poster by Courreges signed by the man himself along with Toutes mes amities, which, if my high school French doesn’t fail me, translates roughly to our Best Wishes or Best Regards.

It’s quite an eye-catching piece to decorate the wall of a vintage fashionista!

Available at eBay.

I’m just lovin’ these creative one-of-a-kind collages by Denise Fiedler, handcrafted from vintage papers with tremendous attention to detail.

The hardest part will be deciding where to hang ‘em! They’d look fab in a fashionista’s office or dressing area and they made fantastic gifts for fashionistas as well.

And while my favorites are, of course, the fashion images, Denise also creates images of animals, chairs, and architecture…

Yesterday, my weekly Artist Date to me to a local auction. What fun! It’s such a lesson in human psychology to watch people’s behavior…
