Rowan Blanchard Explains Why She Loves & Wears Vintage Clothing

Rowan Blanchard is opening up about her love for vintage clothing!

The 16-year-old actress is currently in New York City checking out the latest during New York Fashion Week, and recently spoke about what drew her to vintage items.

“Essentially all of the money that I spend [is spent] on clothes. [And] all of the money that I actually spend on clothes is usually vintage,” Rowan told Coveteur. “I just feel like I would much rather invest in vintage clothing. It’s cool and it’s also like, there’s something so comforting about vintage clothes; the idea that multiple women have worn this before me.”

“That was something that I was attracted to so young about clothes, especially in vintage clothing,” she continued. “Like, weirdly, in the second grade, for my birthday, I asked for like, fifties clothing. I asked for a poodle skirt, and I was very specific in that there was something very attractive to me about, like the timelessness and the idea that something can’t ever go out of style at all. Even at that age, I had a cognizance that there was something about vintage clothing that felt mature, but also you feel a bit more elegant or pronounced, or something.”

“I have a couple of things that I really, really love,” she added. “In December, I bought a vintage Gaultier dress. It’s very Baz Luhrmann, Romeo and Juliet-ey with, like, crosses all over and hearts, and it’s really good. I bought a really beautiful corset that’s from the thirties.”
