VS Vintage Archive specialise in sourcing vintage clothing and accessories for designers, stylists, costumers and historians seeking inspiration and reference from fashion history. We source rare couture labels and pieces of historical value as well as lesser-known items that are desirable in their own right; locating pieces that hold their own individual qualities in fabric, construction, era and rarity.

We locate rare and respected labels including early 70s Bill Gibb, Janice Wainwright and Kenzo, iconic 80s Gianni Versace, Kansai Yamamoto and Krizia, as well as pieces of historical value dating from 1890 to 1990.

The Photographic Archive acts as an accompanying tool or an alternative to hiring any of the samples in the Private Collection. The range is documented in its entirety; depicting construction, fabric, print, detail and silhouette references.

To hire vintage clothing and accessories from the Private Collection and purchase high-resolution images from the Photographic Archive, please contact us to make an appointment to view our Look Books at your chosen location.
