The trend of vintage fashion is rising/becoming more popular, we look back at the clothes we wore 10, 20 or 50 years ago, and suddenly they seem so "dated". The number of people who admire and cherish antique and vintage fashions is increasing. What we call OLD is becoming-> NEW in terms of today's fashion trend!!!
Old might not be old?

"there are just not enough vintage shops in Hong Kong."
"I only grasp this from hearsay but it's a combination of the elder generation's attitude towards 'used' clothing, that it's considered 'unlucky' to wear a potentially dead person's clothes, that the local market just don't like buying used things (even when you buy new clothes, you normally ask the shop staff to get an untouched piece that hasn't been on the rails), that it's hard to source the stuff... all of that plus a dose of extra reluctance..."

"How do you feel about Hong Kong people's attitude towards vintage - is it changing?
In my opinion, there must be a number of people loving vintage clothes. But it’s still not very popular among normal consumers. The mass media seldom cover this kind of fashion, or even if they do, they seldom mix and match them with high fashion pieces. As a result people may not see its potential of (vintage clothes) looking modern and 'high fashion'. Maybe it’s also the reason why you can hardly find good vintage stores in Hong Kong... I really hope the situation will change soon when people see how foreign/ local style icons wear vintage clothes.
So now I am trying to do it in a more contemporary way, to ease the gap between vintage and high fashion. It’s definitely not a new idea to foreigners, because many of them are already wearing vintage in such a way. But that’s simply the way I want to make it. And the brand name “The Yesterdayskin” represents this idea too. The pieces I found were once somebody’s second skin before, now I am treating them to a little bit of restyle or reconstruction, then they can get back into the modern fashion world, to find their new owner having them as second skin.

Vintage fashion has history.
They tell me, as no other historical artifact can, how my ancestors lived - what their lives were like, how they felt about themselves, where their place in society was.
Each item gives us information about the "taste" of the past.
History developed and changed the way we thought and dressed.
We look back at the clothes we wore 10, 20 or 50 years ago, and suddenly they seem so "dated". We become nostalgic.
Vintage pieces capture not only a historical moment in time, but in themselves can be works of absolute and unique beauty.
The garment is a "survivor" of the each century and as much has become a classic of importance.
