About Nona

Born in Bolivia, Nona is a self proclaimed fashionista who has a penchant for writing, art, fashion and all things vintage. She used to work solely to fund a rather extravagant and expensive vintage fashion collection, hiding her addiction under the label of “preserving the worlds fashion heritage”. After a much needed 2 months in rehab, where in her best behaviour, she earned many a brownie point convincing the shrinks that those days are well and truly over, she is now back out on the loose again, not having purchased a single vintage item since. (yet). When not working in some fashion related occupation, or thinking about the details of her Machiavellic plan to take over the world, she is most likely to be found “window” shopping for vintage clothes, trying on her collection of vintage clothes, blogging or "just having a look" on Ebay. Her career highlight: getting caught up inside THE Vivienne Westwood wedding dress that Carrie Bradshaw wore for the BIG wedding in Sex & The City the movie and screaming: "Oh no, I am never going to get married!!"(After realizing that that was THE dress).

THE DRAMA IN FASHION

By Nona

Remember the girl who lived under a tree? The human chess piece who wears an incredible dress and has her movements controlled by a robotic voice that commands her to move onto the next position? Remember the ghostly vision of Kate Moss floating away magically, wrapped in hundreds and hundreds of layers of soft rippling fabric and fading away into a bullet of light?

By Nona

They say that “a picture is worth a thousand words…” There is also a quote that says:
