Join the Revolution: A Runway Show and Pop-up Shop Where Every Body is Beautiful and Every Fashion Era is Celebrated!
Who doesn’t love the thrill of uncovering a hidden gem in the world of vintage fashion? The palpable excitement of stumbling upon a piece of clothing that whispers stories of eras gone by, only to realize it fits like a glove and feels like destiny? It’s a feeling that fashion aficionados cherish, but sadly, it’s a joy that has often been elusive for many due to the industry’s persistent adherence to narrow beauty standards.
But fear not, fashion enthusiasts, for a beacon of inclusivity is shining bright in the heart of Palm Springs. Iconic Atomic, a vintage boutique beloved by locals and lauded by Palm Springs Life Magazine as the Best Vintage Clothing Shop for five consecutive years, is rewriting the narrative of vintage fashion. At the helm of this revolutionary endeavor is Cat Slater, the visionary owner who dared to challenge the status quo by creating a space where every body is celebrated and embraced.
“We opened the store we wanted to shop in,” explains Slater with refreshing candor. “There had to be something for everyone, which means plus size had to be a big part of the store, not just one small rack tucked away in a dark corner like in many other stores!”
And now, Iconic Atomic is taking its commitment to inclusivity to new heights by hosting an all-inclusive vintage fashion show and pop-up sale. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Church Iglesia Bautista Vida Nueva in Los Angeles, this event promises to be a celebration of diversity, style, and unapologetic self-expression.
On April 20th and 21st, attendees will have the opportunity to peruse a carefully curated selection of one-of-a-kind vintage clothing and accessories, handpicked by the discerning eye of Cat Slater herself. But the true highlight of the event lies in the runway show, where models of all sizes, races, genders, and ages will strut their stuff in iconic looks from decades past.
Adding an extra dash of flair to the proceedings is the incomparable Anita Rose, a professional drag queen hostess and entertainer who will be gracing Saturday’s fashion show with her presence. Attendees can expect a performance that is as electrifying as it is unforgettable, proving once again that fashion is a form of art that knows no bounds.
Tickets to this must-attend event are available now, with a portion of the proceeds going towards Catmandoo and Tommy’s Lil Angels animal rescue. For those in search of a new furry companion, pet adoptions will be available on site, ensuring that every attendee leaves not only with a fabulous vintage find but also with the satisfaction of knowing they’ve made a difference in the lives of animals in need.
So mark your calendars, secure your tickets, and prepare to immerse yourself in a world where fashion knows no limits. Vintage fashion has been revamped, reimagined, and reignited at Iconic Atomic, and you won’t want to miss a single moment of the magic.
