CITY Issue 54 - (Page 58) condition, according to Silver. But just as there is an absence of appraisal standards, there is no pricing scale either. “The difficulty with the appraisal of vintage is that it might be worth money at Decades, but at the Salvation Army it may be worth $8,” Silver says. “Different markets have different values. With eBay it gets very difficult to establish fair-market value on a lot of clothing. It’s like art. Not every Picasso is worth the same amount of money as other Picassos.” And also like art, shoppers like Lindner take a long look at a dress and judge it on its aesthetic appeal, quality, and authenticity before determining whether to buy. “Great vintage is usually timeless in design,” Lindner says. “The craftsmanship and material were probably superior if it has lasted over several years, and the really nice stores preserve the integrity of the clothes with quality merchandising.” One thing is clear: Although no one has set an industry standard on what makes something truly vintage, this has not stopped fashionistas and collectors from dropping big bucks on some rare finds. Vintage has made retailers, consumers, and even museums rethink the value of clothing. And who can put a price on being a walking work of art? WANT ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST IN VINTAGE?
