"Vintage" often described as "used," "old," and "dirty."

It is true that "vintage" is the title for a "aged" things.

But however, a value of "aged things" can be greater than a value of "new things."

Like a machine like the computers, or cameras,

since the technology develops day by days,

newer computers and cameras are much better than the ones that were made in

the pasts.

But like a clothing or an art pieces, the "time" and "technology" don't give any

impacts on the fashion and art.


Reason #1.

-Fashion is a cycle that repeats over time, since they are "limited."
It might sound like awful, and wrong to you, but,
even it feels like there are multiple types of clothing are out there,
It is limited, and people always pulls out the designs from the past centuries
after awhile.

Reason #2.
-Art is like a "memory."
People ages, and as they gets aged, they changes their thoughts,
while their appearance change.
"Art can be copied by the others," but, they cannot copy the thought, or idea that
the artists had, who created the piece.

Reason #3.
-The piece gets more beautiful, while they gets aged.
This was just a opinion that I had in my mind, but I thought
"getting old" creates a beauty that "youngs" don't have.
Getting wrinkles on the face isn't a shame thing.
It's a thing that you should feel a proud of.


This was the reasons that I had so far.


My mother told me that, buying a "used clothe" is a stupid thing to do.
It was few years ago that she told me this.
But I still remember, since it gave me a strong feelings.
When I asked her why, and this was her thoughts:

1. You don't know who wore the clothing before you gets it.
2. It's dirty and old, compare to the new clothing.
3. Superstition reason.

It was interesting that, it's wasn't just my mother who had this thoughts in their minds.
Actually, many other Koreans had this prejudices toward "second handed clothe."

But, I can argue with their thoughts with my 3 reasons.
Personally, I'm the person who loves "vintage dresses,"
and also, believes that "vintage clothes" are much uniquer than the new clothes.

By the way, this dress was the dress that I didn't win from the auction (ebay):

Isn't this a beautiful dress?

Since the auction ended, I could not find the address of the page,

but, if this becomes a problem, I will be glad to take down the 

picture.

Any way, this dress is 70s vintage dress, and it's hard to find this kind of dress
in present days.
