Trends and hot picks may move in a circular fashion, but nothing compares to generational antiques. For some, besides nostalgia, investing in luxury vintage fashion is essentially a lifestyle. And in the current era of quiet luxury, the idea of investment dressing is key to winning at slow and responsible fashion. Oscillating between peculiar Emmanuelle Khanh picks and one-of-a-kind Gaultier jackets, we navigate the inventive world of Bodements.
Started during the pandemic and now an appointment-only brick-and-mortar studio, Bodements is the go-to space for handpicked luxury vintage fashion. Underlining its ethos, Saini says, “As a brand that preaches conscious consumption, I feel it is imperative to propagate the mentality of responsible and ethical consumer practices. We educate our customers about the pieces they purchase and only encourage thoughtful shopping.”
IDENTIFYING THE AUTHENTICS
Shopping for investment pieces can often be overwhelming, akin to any other investment practices. One must take the time to mindfully select and purchase a piece that truly personifies their sense of style and serves the purpose of wardrobe longevity. Maximising cost per wear without compromising on critical values of craftsmanship and style is what it's all about."The process is fairly simple," Saini breaks it down for us. "If it looks phoney, feels phoney, it is phoney!" She gathers her expertise from innumerable sourcing trips across the world, spanning years.
