Vintage Fashion Wall Art

I love the idea of using vintage fashion magazine covers and posters as wall art. Grouping several together in similar frames can create a beautiful focal point add a great dose of color in a space.

In this space, I love that the accessories tie in beautifully with the colors in the perfectly arranged Vogue covers.

Here, Anna Spiro of Black + Spiro uses white matting and silver bamboo frames for the vintage posters and hangs them on a wall painted a gorgeous shade of blue.

You can find vintage fashion magazines at Paper Pursuits where they have an amazing selection of fashion and design print collectibles from as early as the 1910's.
