If you go down to Hackney tonight you are sure of a vintage surprise. Well, a Vintage Secret. Recommended by Vogue and countless other purveyors of fine fashion, for the first time ever we are opening the doors to our headquarters.

The Secret Salon has remained a long kept secret for stylists, musicians and fashionistas and is by appointment only. However we opened it up to the public, offering a number of styling packages for vintage enthusiasts and beginners alike. Viva the fashion Revolution!

Is it another vintage shop? Not at all. The space has been transformed into a boudoir of rare clothing and exciting artefacts, and is home to the largest collection of real vintage in London. Spanning from 1880 onwards the collection includes vintage fashion, period props and magazines, from Le Tout Paris dating from 1918 onwards to 1950′s Elle magazines featuring interviews with Christian Dior no less and patterns for budding designers who fancy creating their own vintage. It also has the UK’s largest collection of never worn before vintage swimwear, a must for the summer months.

Cake is served on a Clarice Cliff cake stand and tea is sipped from the finest bone china. A Hendrick’s cocktail is served upon arrival and poured throughout the evening to the dulcet tunes of 30′s Jazz. A goody bag packed full of treats will be ready for collection when your carriage picks you up.

For those who want to recreate a certain hairstyle or look to match their clothes, a team of vintage make-up artists and glamorous hair stylists are on hand to create the perfect Victory Roll and bow lips* And those wanting to try out the look can benefit from The Salon’s supply of tickets to London’s hottest events, including Prohibition, The Blitz Party, and La Belle Époque.

Best of all – it’s free*. All that stands between you and the sheer escapism of The Salon’s secret time warp is a short bus ride or cab journey to London Fields.
