Viral Threads GIVEAWAY!!!



New York Fashion Week's 2011 Summer VINTAGE trend report:
70's Chic
This season, the catwalks have been brimming with seventies inspired designs – and we love it! But this revival is less disco diva and more sexy boho secretary. Think sheer and silky pussybow blouses teamed with high waisted flared trousers or shorts. Big floppy hats and hippy dresses will certainly be a summer staple and the maxi dress is here to stay. Another recent trend revival is the jumpsuit that will be bigger than ever this year. And lest we forget the wedge heel – this summer's footwear must!
Bold Colour
Black is all well and good but we are so glad to see the return of bright and bold colours to the runways! Particularly blocks of orange, yellow, blue and pink! There are some great vintage find in bright colours. For oranges and yellows the best era has to be the swinging sixties and for pinks and electric blue look no further than eighties cocktail dresses and separates. Take colour and experiment – the brave will conquer this summer!
Elegant Nudes
For a more subtle take on the 2011 trends, sheer and semi sheer nudes are a must. If you are pale skinned then stick to the creamy white nudes, tanned and olive skinned girls should veer towards peachy nudes and mixed race and dark skin-tones should go for nudes with a golden hue. Think floaty chiffon, fluid silk and thin draping satin for real glamour and style.
Club Tropicana
Moving on from the general floral trend of last spring/summer, this seasons floral print has got be be bold, brash and tropical! Bright shades, large palms and hoola flavours are a must! Look for fitted fifties dresses, vintage pencil skirts and vintage silk scarves to work the tropical trend.
Into the Blue
Maybe the forthcoming Royal Wedding has got us in the mood but the only colour that really matters this spring/summer is jewel-bright blue. Deep regal toned dresses, fitted jackets, chunky heels and floaty blouses – all in this stunning shade. Have a good look through all eras as there are gems to be found!
Viral Threads offers an eclectic collection of VINTAGE and handmade clothing; PERFECT for the summer 2011 vintage fashion trend!

ON TREND VINTAGE CLOTHING FOR LADIES


"Envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide" -Ralph Waldo Emerson




Here is a little bit about Viral Threads:


The goal I have for my shop is to provide on trend vintage clothing for ladies and keep it stocked full of unique things you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. I hand select things that I would personally wear and can easily be incorporated into a modern wardrobe. I am currently working on my own handmade line of vintage inspired pieces created from upcycled fabrics, to be added to my shop(and website soon to be launched, www.shopviralthreads.com) this Summer! 


Here is an interview with Kim, the owner and operator of Viral Threads:


Why did you start Viral Threads?
Being a Pastry Chef for the last 7yrs restricted me from wearing and/or doing girly things during the day. You must have clipped nails, hair tied up under a hat, and clothes you don't mind getting chocolate smeared on. Viral Threads was created about 5yrs ago(first on eBay) as an outlet to express that area of my life. I have always had a passion for Vintage and as a result my closet begin overflowing with so many goodies, I had nowhere to put them! It was time to share them with the world:)

What is your inspiration behind your etsy store?
My inspiration comes from my desire to make ladies everywhere feel pretty:) To be the provider of that overwhelming rush of happiness you get when you find that perfect and favorite new "something" is incredibly rewarding and keeps me going every day.

How do you choose what items to sell? 
I keep myself up to date on what the latest and upcoming trends are and what people are seeking to buy. I constantly read fashion magazines, books, blogs, and websites; I also do a lot of people watching and pay attention to what's being worn in a girl's every day wardrobe. A lot of what I list are things I would personally wear myself and find hard to give up. I also try to have a wide variety of styles and things that are unique and not easy to find.



Recently, Viral Threads was contacted by Urban Outfitters to put a rack of her vintage clothing in their L.A. based Space 15 Twenty!  CONGRATULATIONS!  If you are in the L.A. area, CHECK IT OUT and then contact me Vanessa.Iaquinta@gmail.com for some special entries!!!


Viral Threads sent me the 70's Mint Green Off the Shoulder Puff Sleeve Top:



The top is in EXCELLENT condition, chic and trendy (it falls perfectly in line with the New York Fashion week trend report of 70's fashion), and versatile--you can wear it off shoulder or on, belt it over something or even tuck it into high waist pants or a skirt; it would look hot with some 70's high waist wide leg bells:)
