Bonne Vie is happy to present the Independent Fashion Bloggers’ Links à la Mode! We were featured this week for our bias cut post – but be sure to check out the links from our other blog-friends!
Fashion History
Edited by Debutante Clothing
I was particularly proud of this week’s choices of IFB member links. As a vintage lover, I think fashion history is an often over-looked part of the fashion equation. I was thrilled to see so many fellow IFBers agree. Bonne Vie, Miss Glitzy, and Couture Allure are some of the blogs that took a trip to the past of fashion. But what good is history if we can’t learn from it? Several other bloggers explored contemporary fashion in the workplace and as a form of expression. We’ve got some real cerebral reads this week – enjoy!

The big hair of yesteryear is incredible. I love that picture with the head turned to the side. Definitely fashion history plays such a role in modern fashion.
