Anyone knows that the key to being a true Vintage Vixen lies in the ability to be both a lady and a vamp. In the spirit of bad girls like Mae West, who looked like a lady but talked like a trucker, comes clothing and accessory line Locher’s, from designer Nicole Locher.
Debuting in 2005, the line includes fun and flirtatious tops and accessories that are a combination of modern and vintage with a sexy little twist. Inspired by vintage embroidery, Nicole creates modern day clothing with vintage patterns and not so vintage slogans embroidered onto each piece. Favourites include, “Will Fuck For Shoes” and “Best Piece of Ass In Town”.
Her accessory line includes a great collection of necklaces with lockets and charms that dangle innocently from lovely silver chains. Yet upon closer inspection, one will discover vintage fetish and erotica photos, with phrases like, “Spank Me” or “I am the shit”.
Needless to say that Locher’s Paris is not what you’d wear to church on Sunday. However, if you are a choirgirl looking to cause a commotion, than a trip to Locher’s Paris is for you.
