The Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair is back at the Freemasons Hall this April 24th from 11am-5pm and this time they’ve extended the jewellery and menswear offering, with even more stalls! London’s premium vintage event is already famous amongst industry insiders, design houses, stylists and costume designers, reputed for its unique collection that includes both little known-brands and pre-loved designer labels such as Chanel, Dior, Biba, and Vivienne Westwood.

The next edition will feature around 60 traders spread across three halls and spanning over 100 years of fashion. A top line up of traders will be selling womenswear, menswear, accessories and textiles, as well as reworked vintage into contemporary pieces.

The extended collection includes jewellery dealer Linda Jackson, with an unparalleled collection of American vintage costume jewellery dating from 1950s -1980s, as well as a great selection of Art Nouveau, brutalist, cosmic and designer vintage jewellery from collector and dealer Janice Lee.

The sartorial gentlemen will find menswear from 1950s – 1970s, including rare archive pieces that were in the V&A Fashion & Style exhibition, as well as Hudson Bay Jackets, tour jackets, frock coats, suits, ties, hats and 70s beaded buckskin jackets. Vintage YSL and Hermes will be among the labels,  as well as military pieces, workwear, reworked and upcycled pieces.

Tickets cost £5 (£3 Students) and are available through Eventbrite or on the door.
