For actress Christina Hendricks, a lifelong love affair with vintage clothing has led her to create a stunning 12-dress collection with U.K.-based brand Joanie. The Emmy-nominated star's passion for period dramas and her own unique sense of style made her the perfect collaborator for the brand.
Hendricks' fascination with vintage clothing began as a child, surrounded by antique pieces in Twin Falls, Idaho. This nostalgia fueled her interest in designing clothes that not only looked incredible but also told a story. "I'm sort of a weirdo," she confesses, "and I keep a back stock of things that maybe don't fit anymore or that I've always wanted to recreate."
The actress's approach to fashion is meticulous and theme-inspired, which made her the ideal partner for Joanie. Hendricks' own style was drawn from various artistic sources, including vintage fabrics and old clothing items she'd collected over the years. Her 12-dress collection features a range of designs that reflect her love of intricate patterns and classic silhouettes.
Among the pieces in the collection, there's a yellow wrap dress inspired by Hendricks' own elementary school fashion sense, reminiscent of Daisy Buchanan from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Another standout piece is the pink Wallflower dress, featuring a growing vine motif that echoes de Gournay hand-painted Chinoiserie wallpaper – a favorite decorative style of Hendricks', who documents her home renovations on Instagram.
While drawn to fashion as a creative outlet, Hendricks emphasizes the importance of self-expression and individuality. "Fashion lets you create a character in a way; who do you want to be today? What part of yourself do you want to present to the public tonight?" For Hendricks, the perfect outfit is one that makes her feel confident and authentic.
Now, with her 12-dress collection available worldwide, Hendricks has shared some of her current essentials with Observer. Among them are a repeat piece from her own collection, as well as recommendations for Edinburgh hotels and restaurants that have become favorites since filming The Buccaneers in Scotland.
