About the author

Nicole Jenkins is a costume designer, vintage clothing afficionado, and owner of the highly respected vintage clothing store, CIRCA, in the heart of Melbourne's vintage district in Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. This book is the culmination of almost 30 years of studying, collecting and repairing vintage clothes, fuelled by a passion for the art of design and a humble respect for the dressmaking skills of a bygone era that brought such creative visions into reality.

Nicole has loved vintage her entire life. As a child, her mother dressed her in hand-me-downs and op shop treasures; as a teenager, she discovered the power of a good frock to shock and enchant; and as a woman, she studied costume design and construction. Nicole serves her apprenticeship working in the film, theatre and fashion industries before creating her perfect vintage clothing shop, CIRCA Vintage Clothing in 2004. She lives in an unrenovated Art Deco home in Melbourne's inner city, with her poet husband and two black cats.
