We proudly present the special edition of LINDA.MODE of sep ’10. This issue is all about fashion. FW10 is around the corner and a stylish girl should be prepared.

And do we love the special attention for Designer-Vintage:

On page 119 meet Véronique!

Interviewed on happy designer addictions. And yes, she has one. Missoni, Missoni, Missoni.

“the photoshoot was amazing. Though I was a little in doubt about being photograped with a pile of Hermès boxes on my head… I’m so happy with the results! Thank you Karin Kuipers (interview), Victor Bergen Henegouwen (photographer), Lidewij Merckx (Styling) and Ellen van Exter (Hair & Make-up).

On page 41 meet Chanel 2.55!

This item features one of the many Chanel Flap Bags for sale. Kindly lend out by the seller to Linda.Mode for this photoshoot. A bag with a story. Sometimes even virtual fights break out on Designer-Vintage for these icon pieces. I was first! No, I was!

Created in 1955 by Coco Chanel. In the month of February, so that explains the number 2. Juicy detail is a small interior pocket for your love letters. Those were the days. We love this Icon Handbag in soft calfskin leather and signature burgundy interior. Closes with the CC-lock.

Oprah & Designer-Vintage getting closer.

Great feature on Designer-Vintage in Dutch Luxury Magazine, MILJONAIR. It’s all about the creditcrunch. Fashionable ladies who discover that their former fantastic finds (Prada! Chanel! Hermès!) are so wanted by other fashionista’s. Cash in the walk-in closet. And they start buying all over again from the proceeds. Eco-chic recycling. We love it.

Speaking of Oprah. One of our (not so) secret wishes is to be invited for  Oprah’s couch and tell the world about our platform. Every girl should have a dream, right? We think it’s a good omen that we are on the same page. Very good omen. Will be cont. …

Spotted in Amsterdam, Beethovenstraat.

She wears a white embroided cotton blouse from the market in St. Tropez, harem pants & taupe suede peeptoes from Zara. Limited edition Messenger Bag in Monogramme Underground by Louis Vuitton.

This Louis Vuitton bag is from SS10 collection and was availbe in two colours. City chic bag with sturdy look.

We Love

Proud to be Dutch…

Doutzen Kroes for Flare Magazine sep ’10 . Brigitte Bardot eat your heart out!

We love her absolutely feminine looks. This FW10 season is all about animal prints. Looking for a designer bargain beauty? Our tip: D & G leopard blouse. Or how about a pencil skirt by Escada?

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
