7:36 pm - New EC Star Clothing - Just Added!
|
EC Star is our 2nd most popular clothing brand (next to Pinup Couture, of course!), and it flies out of our warehouse within days. It's no wonder - EC Star couples original, fashion-forward design with top-notch quality. EC Star items will last you through many seasons, and never go out of style (I just wish they'd make more of it, so we could get more pieces when we reorder!). Feast your eyes on our newest arrivals from EC Star Clothing, featuring Pinup Girl Clothing Official Spokesmodel Masuimi Max:
The "Bon Voyage" Dress in Black Eyelet

12:50 am - Pinup Couture Summer 2007 - Lucy Dresses in Cherries!!
|
The Lucy halter dress is one of our perennial best sellers, with our denim and red bandanna versions in continuous production since 2005. There's a real reason for this - this style is cute yet casual, and fits like a dream.
We've wanted to do this style in a cherry print for a while now, but we also wanted a change. We asked ourselves - what colors would look lovely as a backdrop for our exclusive cherry print? - and blue was an easy answer (we've got another color suprise coming soon).
So, Pinup Couture is happy to present our first offering from our Summer 2007 Collection - available now at PinUpGirlClothing.com!

7:12 am - About Pinup Girl Clothing
|
About Pinup Girl Clothing:
Pinup Girl Clothing was started in 1996 by Laura Byrnes. Laura, a swing dancer, collector of Vargas Pinup Girl illustrations, lounge lizard, frequenter of underground Los Angeles bars,
and photographer of the LA music and retro scene, got fed up with the constrictive nature of the magazine photography world (her old-school punk rock attitude and general disrespect for authority
certanly didn't help either) and decided to pursue her lifelong interest in pinup style: 50's fashion, rockabilly revival, retro dresses, pinup girls, 50's Hollywood bombshells, and the
seedy, sexy underside of it all. An FIT dropout - for photography, not fashion - Laura was in love with pinup girl style and retro fashion, but the only place one could find 50's style, at that time, was
the local thrift store. Even in Los Angeles, circa 1996 - the center of the emerging retro, rockabilly, and lounge subculture - rockabilly and retro gals were limited to vintage dresses, which while fantastic,
couldn't exactly be depended upon to fit right, wear well, or smell good. Laura's close friend, Jeanette Iskat, was an avid collector of vintage dresses from the 40's, 50's, and 60's, making the rounds of her favorite - and often little known -
thrift stores weekly to score the most amazing vintage dresses, many from well known designers of the day. Sadly, few of these vintage dresses fit Jeanette, who towers over mere mortals at an impressive 6 foot 3.
Jeanette's loss was Laura's gain - Jeanette's vintage clothing scores filled Laura's closet and constituted nearly her entire wardrobe - fantastic retro swing dresses in satins, taffeta, and brocade. Rockabilly clothing - cropped
capri pants, halter tops, and high-waisted pencil skirts. These vintage dresses still hang in Laura's closet and continue to influence her retro fashion sensibility.
However, vintage clothing has its limitations. Stains, tears, and musty smells. Stitching and seams in fragile condition. The perfect retro dress - in someone else's size. The retro and rockabilly scene was growing too large, and
the vintage dress pickings in thrift and vintage clothing stores was getting thin. Something had to give, and it did. Laura, and a very small handful of other rockabilly gals, started designing. One of these girls, Melanie, started a retro
clothing line called Dixiefried. Dixiefried's style was purist and tailored - high waisted pencil skirts with vintage details, fitted bombshell dresses in retro fabrics. Alicia, Melanie's assistant, left Dixiefried and founded Stop Staring Clothing,
which carried on the purist retro vintage tradition after Dixiefried ceased to be.
Laura's vision was different - she loved the sexy dresses worn by the Pinup Girls in Varga, Elvgren, and Petty illustrations, sexy, clingy, fantasy clothing that, in the 50's, could never have translated to a real world garment: Pinup Girl Clothing.
Pinup Girl Clothing was her vision, and Pinup Girl Clothing she would design.
Pinup Girl Clothing existed as a home based business for 2 1/2 years - Laura selling her retro and rockabilly fashions from a rack of clothes hanging in her living room, custom fitting dresses for her rapidly growing customer base of retro and rockabilly gals.
In 1999, after scouring the web for retro clothing, rockabilly dresses, and the like, and finding it severely lacking, Laura took Pinup Girl Clothing online with the launch of PinUpGirlClothing.com. It started small, as great things often do. The website started with 50 items,
all designs made to order by Laura's team of talented seamstresses. Her customers asked for more - more dresses, more shoes, accessories - and Laura listened. Pinup Girl Clothing started to add other brands: Eldorado Club Jewelry, Classic Hardware, Steady Clothing,
Lucky 13 Clothing, and EC Star Clothing were some of the earliest brand additions to Pinup Girl Clothing. Accessories from Revamp Productions, Lux De Ville, and Blue Q would follow. Leg Avenue Lingerie, Stockings, Pantyhose, and Halloween Costumes came along for the ride.
Pinup Girl Clothing continued to grow. Pinup Girl customers - swing dancers, clubgoers, rockabilly gals, and modern pinup girls - loved the ever-growing selection, fast delivery, and personalized customer service. Each Halloween, Pinup Girls customers came back to purchase
Sexy Halloween Costumes for that year's Halloween bash. Each holiday season, they'd return to find that perfect retro gift for their best friend or their main squeeze. Each Valentine's day, they'd browse our unmatched selection of sexy retro lingerie. And each spring, they'd
come back to find that perfect retro swimsuit, the perfect retro dress, and shoes and a bag to match.
Fast forward to 2007, and not much has changed. Laura is still designing clothing for modern, real-life pinup girls, although now she's got a full production team behind her, and her line, Pinup Couture, can be found in retro & rockabilly shops and boutiques on every continent except Antartica.
Jeanette is still discovering treasures and fueling the creative engine of Pinup Girl Clothing. PinUpGirlClothing.com is known the world over as the ultimate shopping destination for retro & rockabilly clothing, shoes, and accessories. Customer Service is still top-notch, shipping is
still speedy, and the selection has grown wider and wider. Customers from way back in 1999 still visit us, a fact that fills us with an equal mix of pride and appreciation. Pinup Girl Clothing has inspired its share of imitators, as great things often do. But Rockabilly gals, retro vixens, girly girls,
and modern pinup girls know that there's only one place to find the best selection of cute, retro clothing, shoes, and accessories on the planet - PinUpGirlClothing.com!
