I’m down in London for a week and the city seems to have gone vintage crazy. Vintage is the new black. Yesterday designer Wayne Hemingway – famous for his Red or Dead label – launched Vintage at Goodwood, a festival of British creativity from the 1940s to the 1980s. The festival, to be held at Goodwood, West Sussex between 13th & 15th August will include music, design, fashion and the arts. “It will be a sort of Festival Of Britain,” said Hemingway. Artists appearing include, Sandie Shaw – performing for the first time in twenty years. Sandie is also a curator of the show and will present a selection of divas singing songs, sung by men, that women should have sung. Lily Allen, Heaven 17, The Noisettes, The Dammed and The Buzzcocks are also appearing.
Tickets will be limited to 20,000 for the event and the organisers have promised dry feet and clean toilets.
Lily Allen, who is giving up her singing career for a while is heavily involved in a vintage clothes label and her shop, Lucy in Disguise, will be opening at the festival. The shop will sell and rent vintage clothing and vintage accessories.
