Hey Fashion Bombers!
Today I wanted to put you on to a new line of vintage and original clothing called Rockett Mansion...
…the line consists of supremely well edited shoes, dress, and accessories, all plucked from second hand stores, then remixed with buttons, tailoring, or pleats…
Melanie says her inspirations are, “Postmodern Global Beauty. I love to draw simple, minimalist items from different cultures. They can be glitzy, ornate, doesn’t matter as long they are beautiful…”
The Fashion Merchandising student started the Rockett Mansion line because, “I wanted to do my own thing, and didn’t want to work for a big fashion house. I was sick of working for places that just didn’t ‘get it’ or understand my aesthetic…”
She continues, “The line is the sum of my love for vintage and living a minimalist lifestyle… I adore the idea of finding beautifully made, well preserved items and mixing them with everyday pieces. Most people see vintage as over-the-top costumes that can’t be applied to a daily wardrobe or simply as the attire of hip, starving artists- I beg to differ. Any good stylist knows the key to great personal style is the mixing of old and new as well as expensive and inexpensive. It gives a look dimension and makes it seem effortless.”
In addition to being chic, vintage cuts down on waste. “We can easily recycle and use what we already have on this earth because as we all know, polyester isn’t going anywhere. It’s retail therapy with no buyers remorse.”
And you can cut down on spending as well: every Rockett Mansion item is under $50. Perfect for this economic climate!

Smootches!
