Modern Community Vintage is an upcoming business that will be opening in Spring 2014, ready to provide you with a whole array of items. They cater for not only for women, but men as well but of course it is the woman's range I'm more interested in seeing. When they open a plethora of shirts, sweaters, scarves, bags, shoes, dresses, abayas, pants, skirts and blazers will be available. Add on to this the accessory sections full of rings, bracelets and necklaces and you basically have a whole wardrobe option available.
Clothing aside, they will also stock household goodies and great gift items for sale like tea, greeting and post cards, crockery of all sorts, vintage and traditional Islamic books for your own personal library, journals, Shea butter products and plenty more!
At the moment the Modern community Vintage website (click here) is not currently available and will launch as mentioned in Spring but you can always follow them on both of their social media accounts via the Modern Community Vintage Facebook pageand their Instagram account.
Modern Community Vintage, besides being a business, also have an online lifestyle magazine (related Facebook page found here) jam packed with a broad range of articles about travel, religion, culture, food, etc - basally what you would expect of any current lifestyle magazine.
The articles are written by various authors so you always get a fresh point of view when reading and aren't stuck following the thoughts of only one person. Being somewhat of a foodie myself (or at least a food lover) my favourite posts are those that revolve around yummy stuff to gorge yourself on; specifically the restaurant highlights (like Veggin' out in Singapore - I'm not a vegetarian but this does look delicious!) and the do it yourself recipe style posts of magazine contributor Culinary Keda who makes yummy plate fillers like this Strawberry Shortcake French Toast.
And of course the clothing side of things - the Modern Community Vintage magazine introduced me to Gary Graham's gorgeous folkloric collection of threads in their Strange Beauty post. Seriously love these pieces especially the abaya-like lace piece shown first.
They even have a Tumblr page dedicated to the modest fashion they adore which you can take a look at here while also checking out the blog of Modern Community Vintage's creative director for a peek behind the scenes, comps, giveaways and super cool discount codes.
And finally, a quick glance at the styling work of Modern Community Vintage:
Layering on top of skinny jeans for an instant street cool yet casual look...
A more traditional and simplified black on black abaya look.
Fuss free minimalist dressing...
Loving this grey tunic by the way.
Hues of red, black and grey...
