Founded in 2020 in London by Gabriella Gambetta, Manic Rave Vintage came about from her love of Vintage and upcycling. Gabriella has over 10 years experience in the Vintage world and dressmaking world.
"Growing up I always had a true passion for Vintage, I fell in love with the colours, the textures and print. My Mum was a Mod in London in the 60s and a lot my inspiration comes from her and her style. Vintage clothing for me resonates quality,fun, it is sustainable and above all unique. Why dress like the masses? stand out, dare to be different ..put the fun back into fashion" |
From late 2016 I was lucky to meet an inspirational seamtress from the 50's . Her name was Rina, she taught me the beauty of going back to hand sewing, hand embroidery and taught me that you dont need machines to make art. Afterall it starts with our heads and our hands.
Coming from a design degree, your taught on a machine, but the true beauty lies in your hands and the passion is shown in time. I believe we have to reflect back in order to move forward. My pieces are reworked with chaos and with love . I hope that they bring smiles and joy . |
