Lulu Frost for Urban Outfitters

I first discovered the ever beautiful reclaimed vintage costume jewelry of Lulu Frost last year when I was researching a project of eco-sustainable fashions. Her work was gloriously displayed in Kaight, a Lower East Side boutique dedicated to environmental responsibility.  It was there that I learned that wearing vintage and using vintage materials is the fashion equivalent to recycling. I have been a fan for years of anything rusted or beaten up, held together by tape. I always thought it was my punk rock background, for when I was a starving artist, I actually needed safety pins to hold my clothes together.  But in looking around me, eclectic combinations of jumbles of old decaying metal finds from grandma's closet has become the hottest thing going since skulls (when I went through a similar, 'what, you like them too?' phase).

So yes, like Subversive, Lulu Frost designer Lisa Salzer is bringing her vintage vision to the masses with a small collection for Urban Outfitters.  As it will only feature 5 different designs, you must understand that it will only allude to the authenticity of a vintage find...but surely will infuse her great taste. And for that alone, it will be well worth checking out. It should hit stores this November.
