EVEN as a child growing up in Londrigan, Siobhan Reilly was fascinated with nostalgia and glamour. From admiring her mother Mary’s outfits, to being captivated by her grandmother Una’s jewellery and high tea silverware, the fashion of the past has always been appealing. Now, she has embraced the resurgence of the vintage era and made a splash in the digital world by sharing her style, experiences and thoughts on body positivity online. “I’ve always been very nostalgic and there is something so magical about the 1950s,” she said. “Everything was such a celebration of the finer things in life…it was the done thing to make your own fashionable clothes, everything was handmade with love. “I’ve enjoyed the story behind vintage items. “I loved going through my granny’s jewellery and clothes when I was little, and seeing all the amazing clothes my mum wore when she was young. “My favourite thing of mum’s is a black silk robe with embroidery. “She always loved embroidery and sequins, and I think she bought it on a world trip with my dad and so it’s very special to me. “It’s the history for me, just as much as the aesthetic. “My most treasured possessions once belonged to my mum and granny.” Pinup style appeals to Siobhan so much that she recently entered her first ‘pinup’ competition - Beauties by the Bay in Williamstown. “It was a nautical theme and I made my own dress…it was such a fun day out and raised funds for Down Syndrome Victoria,” she enthused. “I can’t wait to take place in more comps.” continued page |
