Airplanes and Wagons

Jett Saylor

Jett Saylor wore a vintage romper screen printed by the brilliant designer River Takada-Capel of  River Basin. She brought this into Roulette last year and I knew I needed to put it aside for Jett and I am so glad I did! River has just delivered a bunch of wonderful designs from her famous pillowcase dresses to cool skirts and shirts reworked from larger pieces.

Tonight is the night! June 12, 2009

Our Fashion opening featuring Revamp’s new summer line is tonight, and we are celebrating all the great revamp fashion with our Ode to Revamp.
Today I’m going to celebrate Revamp clutches and Tux Dresses.  The oh, so cute clutch made of various vintage scrap material, combined with cute buttons and sometimes lace.  We love how versatile they are! And the Tux dress is a long time favorite, ready to party or to drink tea.  These dresses are perfect to take on vacation.  They also look cute as tunics over jeans.

Revamp Skirt June 11, 2009

Ode to a skirt made of vintage t-shirts!  A great way to re-use and look cool.  This skirt will also become a cute mini dress.

50’s style party dress June 10, 2009

We are continuing our ode to Revamp with this lovely 50’s style party dress that I wore to my wedding party in May.  Classic design and summer cotton make this one fun and flirty!  Kara

Oh, the Revamp tee June 9, 2009

Michelle of Black Skies rocks an Eagle tee by Revamp

We continue our Ode to Revamp with the classic Revamp tee.  Created from 2 vintage t-shirts, this tee embodies the spirit of recycling, while saluting all those great slogans of the past.

Revamp’s Fashion Walk June 8, 2009

We’ll be hosting the Revamp summer runway collection of evening dresses and day wear with an opening on Friday June 12th from 7pm to 10pm, during Carrboro’s monthly Art Walk.
These one-of-a-kind pieces by Revamp designer Jamie Powell were recently featured as the finale of Raleigh Fashion Week, and will be available exclusively at Roulette Vintage from June 12th to 30th.

We’re really excited about all of Jamie’s new fashion, especially the scarf dresses that twirl so beautifully!  Come enjoy an evening of fashion, drinks, and homemade treats with us and Jamie this Friday.  We’d love to see all of you there!

Bridget, in a Revamp scarf dress!

In honor of this event, I have decided to do an Ode to Revamp style.  Each day I will post a different picture of someone rocking Revamp.  The lovely Bridget has the honors today.
