Vintage inspiration: Dovima in Balenciaga

Written by Tania Braukämper.

Didn’t I tell you velvet-haters that velvet could be the pinnacle of elegance if done right? Take Dovima, Richard Avedon and Balenciaga and it’s a vintage velvet trifecta that can’t go wrong.

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.
