This week’s style diary is about the interesting Bridgette Morphew, the founder of Morphew, a high-end vintage clothing archive that features unique pieces from design houses like Ralph Lauren, Halston, Schiaparelli, Moschino, and Chanel, just to name a few. Bridgette is also the founder of Morphew Lab, where antique fashion, contextual history, future trends, and technology meet, and consumers can purchase vintage-inspired, reconstructed pieces that are both forward-thinking and ripe with historical references. She is sharing with us her perspective on style in this week’s style diary.
Sibylle Eschapasse: Describe your style?
Bridgette Morphew: My style is like my last name–it morphs! I tend to swing between decades, styles, and designers frequently. I switch from an all-out obsession with the 1960s one moment, to ‘90s minimalism the next. I constantly add pieces from different eras and designers, so that in a way my style becomes timeless.
When you work with high-end vintage clothes, you are constantly surrounded by the most beautiful pieces from the past 100 years, and it’s hard not to be inspired by them and try to incorporate new finds into your wardrobe!
