My Vintage Dress

My Vintage Dress

Aceasta rochie Oscar de la Renta are istoria ei, incepand de prin anii ’80. Cumva s-a intamplat sa ajunga la mine, sa o port la premiere de film sau prin tari straine. Dar oare cate o fi vazut ea in aproape 40 de ani?

EN: This Oscar de la Renta dress has its history, starting with the ’80s. It somehow made its way to me, to be worn for movie premieres or in foreign countries. But I can’t help but wonder: what has it seen in almost 40 years?

De fiecare data cand fac ordine in dressing si dau peste rochiile mele vintage, ma reindragostesc de ele. As putea spune chiar ca ma emotioneaza gandul ca fiecare in parte are o istorie a ei. Ca in epoca asta in care traim, a fast fashion-ului, mai exista inca astfel de exemplare pe cale de disparitie care rezista. Ba chiar intr-o stare excelenta. Nu stiu ce se va intampla in viitor cu aceasta rochie. Ar fi culmea sa incep ca mama sau ca bunica cu planuri de genul “pentru viitoarea nora”. Nu pot sa imi imaginez viitorul ei, cum nu pot sa mi-l imaginez nici pe al meu. Sunt intr-o etapa a vietii in care daca ma intrebi “unde te vezi peste 5 sau 10 ani” rad. Sau tac. Depinde de vreme. Sper ca in cazul rochiei, istoria ei sa nu se sfarseasca cu urmele iremidiabile ale unui fier de calcat sau ale unui vin scump.

In poze port: rochie Oscar de la Renta, pantofi Chanel, cercei Teilor. Pozele au fost realizate in Hotel Barriere Le Majestic Cannes.

EN: Each time I clean my dressing and come across my vintage dresses, I fall back in love with them. I might even say I get emotional by the thought that each one has its history. That in the era we live in, that of fast fashion, there are still such pieces in danger of extinction which still hang on. And in excellent shape. I don’t know what’s going to happen to this dress in the future. It would be really funny for me to start with plans “for my future daughter-in-law”, like my mother or grandmother would. I can’t imagine its future, just like I can’t picture mine. I am at that stage in my life in which if you ask me “where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years”, I laugh. Or remain quiet. Depending on the weather. I hope in the case of this dress, its history doesn’t end with the irremediable traces of an iron or those of an expensive wine.
