CalamityJem's Profile

Bio

Hi Y'all,
I'm JEM, a Swedish gal with a Scottish hubby living in London.
I love fabrics, fashion & its history, dressing up, collecting vintage garments, creating new from old & from scratch, art & photography in all its various guises.
I prefer the bold, brave & beautiful avant-garde & the whimsical retro chic rather than the whimpish mass appeal of the ever-churning corporate fashion machine.
Style wise I personally like to rebel against strict fashion trend fascism, because I feel that life is too short to be just another brick in the wall!
I detest places like ‘GAP’ (Jeans & Tee uniformity) & you’d be more likely to find me rummaging through the rails of a well stocked vintage boutique or on all fours going through a mound of second-hand clothing at a market looking for hidden gems from a bygone era.
I’m a self-confessed vintage dress addict and I own over 200 of them, so I only need another 165 then I'll have the year covered...a work in progress!
I was born with an imaginative streak & as such I do frequently feel the need to create stuff & be arty farty in a variety of different ways…

Female, Born on September 7
