Vintage Shopping in Milan - Humana Vintage

Few weeks ago I had a wonderful evening doing some 'virtual' and 'real' vintage shopping in Milan at Humana Vintage. This is not an ordinary shop where I just hunt for previously loved amazing dresses from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Apart from being a vintage shop it gives the opportunity to contribute with our shopping at development projects in Africa. Humana Vintage indeed is part of the Humana People to People non-profit association which works in the field of international development and cooperation.

As far as regards clothing, the shop offers a pre-selected range of dresses, coats, bags, shoes and accessories designer and not. I've done some of my best vintage shopping in here and I tend to go every month because there is always something new. This time, given that every dressing room was occupied from other blogger-friends I discovered an elevator which was 'vintage' of course and changed there into a beautiful long red dress, paired it with a 60s hat and bag. 

During this special evening I had the opportunity to speak with some of the members of the non-profit organization and as always I brought home something special. While I considered the red dress 'too much' just 5 minutes after having gone 'Back to the future' cloth-wise, a black evening gown stole my heart. Now I need a red carpet event asap, though I'd be happy with a Black-Tie invitation as well.

This evening gown came home with me.
