How will this work?

Where do we start? The main thing is you finding something you love and can’t imagine your wardrobe without. I want you to see something and then think about it all week. I want you to plan outfits, unconsciously adding it to looks before you remember, you still haven’t bought it. I want you to wear your Alium Bias finds with immense pride, the kind of pride that inspires struts down pavements, turning heads as people whisper “who is that?”. Simple.

There are countless pieces of vintage clothing from decades far and near. As each year passes another decade becomes an ‘era’, so my job is to help you find the best pieces from that fashion mine. I’ll add new pieces to the Alium Bias collection in Drops - these will be as trans seasonal as possible. I won’t focus on trends, but may be led by them at times. I won’t be only searching for designer labels, but may find some treasures.

Due to the nature of vintage clothes, I only have one of each item. I may have similar pieces, but never the identical one - but isn’t that so great? You won’t see the same piece when you scroll through Instagram, your piece will be unique.

A note on pre-loved and vintage fashion - expect some light wear. Some of these pieces are decades old, some of them are from before the Berlin Wall fell, man landed on the moon and when Abba reigned supreme. But those little marks tell a story - a cocktail spilled, the flick of a cigarette in a bar, the dash to the bus. The fact that vintage clothes have an untold story is undoubtedly one of my favourite things. Maybe someone had the very best moment of their life in the jacket I now wear as I commute to work. Who knows, but I can imagine. I will make any and all real damage clear in the description, but please do feel free to drop me a note if you want more information.
