Years ago I had worked at a PR firm in Hollywood, CA. At times I was blessed to be living any fashionista’s dream, then other times it felt like a scene from Devil Wears Prada. Although it had its moments, overall I was beyond happy to be surrounded by such great fashion and accessories, “Living the Dream”. During my time there, I learned about this amazing woman who has a keen eye for amazing vintage pieces named, Doris Raymond. Her delicately amazing collections are kept in her store The Way We Wore. It is like the Nordstroms of all things fabulous with pieces from the 20th Century. Her collections consist of casual to high-end vintage clothing, accessories and jewelry, Couture and pręt-a-porter to Ethnic clothing and textiles and prototypes of all kinds. Some of the mentionable designers you will find amongst her fashion treasures are Dior, Galanos, Versace, Pucci and YSL. She has items that are there to surely please anyone’s personal style and taste. Next time you are needing that great pair of vintage shoes or a great original 1920′s dress, take a trip out to L.A. and raid “grandma’s closet”. Check out some of my favorite pieces from her collection below.
