History of Frock Me!
Matthew Adams studied Costume & Theatre Design at Central School of Art & Design in the mid-1970s. He started selling vintage fashion in 1979 at the the now defunct Swiss Cottage Market and by 1980 had set up the thriving Stables Market in London's Camden Lock. He has been running vintage fashion, retro and antiques events in London ever since and is by far the most successful and longest running fairs organiser in central London. Along with Frock Me!, Matthew also runs the world famous monthly antiques fair at the Royal Horticultural Hall. He created Frock Me! in early 2004, essentially refining the mixed vintage fashion and antiques events he had been organising at the Chelsea Town Hall since 1993. Frock Me! is now London’s hottest vintage fashion event, held several times a year at the Chelsea Town Hall in the King’s Road and now also in Brighton at the Sallis Benney Theatre. All the top vintage dealers in the country come to sell an unrivalled collection of vintage clothing and accessories including hats, shoes, gloves and jewellery alongside modern designer wear. The vogue for vintage clothes attracts fashionistas, stylists, models, fashion students, collectors and costume designers for stage and film. Top designers and celebrities can often be spotted amongst the crowds searching for one-off fashion finds. Frock Me! is the place to find clothes from every era, from 1920s ‘flapper’ style to Fifties glamour, eighties retro-chic or classic 1960s trends with prices ranging from one or two pounds up to several hundred. Fans of burlesque can pick up gorgeous basques, corsets, fans, feather boas and original 50s seamed stockings! Period Pucci and Lanvin dresses, Chanel jackets, classic shoes, designer hats and jewellery are just some of the many items on sale at Frock Me!. Not forgetting the massive current vintage trends including; cardigans, pussy bows, velvets, brocade coats, chiffons, sequins, cashmere and beautiful ornate broaches. Frock Me! is designed to capitalise on the growing popularity of vintage clothing fairs, recently described by The Sunday Times Style magazine as: ‘The place to pick up something old and stylish’. Join style setters Kylie Minogue, Laura Bailey and Kate Moss and step into vintage glamour!
