A 1940′s coquette

Written by Tania Braukämper.

Just look at the cool coquette on the left of this photo. Now that is attitude that cannot be faked, or bought. It’s in the rebellious man-style pants and saddle shoes; the pose with the leg up and cigarette in hand; the cheeky half-smile. It’s more charm than beauty and more composure than poise. It’s simply perfect.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
