Retro

"It all started with music and wanting to learn more about it," explains Lindy Hop teacher Claire Austin talking about her love affair with the times past.
"Then I bought a pair of shoes, a dress and a pair of earrings for that dress," she continues. "It begins gradually, you experiment with your look, your hair and then you turn around and the house is full of vintage furniture."
With husband Robert, Claire organizes the yearly Hep Cats Holiday retro event in Weston Super Mare, a weekend of music, vintage clothing and very impressive hair styles.
Here are some photos from Rhythm Riot 2007 and the Hep Cats Holiday 2008, two among many amazing retro events in the UK.
