PHOTOGRAPH (DIGITAL): EXTERIOR OF TATTERS, FROM MILLIE OF TATTERS BOUTIQUE 421 HAY STREET SUBIACO

1985
Overview

From a collection of photographs donated by Millie Phillips during her oral history interview.
Millie captioned each of the images.
'In the doorway in mid-1985 just after the shop had been fully renovated (inside and out). It shows my new fascia board saying Tatters Boutique – antique and unique fashions. The word ‘antique’, meaning goods before the 1960s, and the ‘unique’ being the fashions created for the shop.
*The words ‘vintage clothing’ were not used then as they are today. Neither was the word ‘retro’ which was introduced in the late 1990s to describe a style originating in the 1970s and 1980s.'
