We love Lily Allen: From Riches to Rags

I am not sure why, according to The Guardian newspaper,  Lily Allen is embarassed about her new documentary, From Riches to Rags on Channel 4 (UK). We have really been enjoying it!

Not only is she featuring some amazing vintage desinger classics like Dior and Ossie Clark clothing, but she is also raising the profile of vintage fashion and all it stands for. Not only is vintage styling green, but it is also classy and stylish! Lily and her sister are making these vintage designer labels  affordable to the masses!
