The Vintage Notebook with Freya Roski

In this podcast, I share my personal journey in the vintage world, offering insights as a lifelong vintage lover and professional. I’ll take you through the stories of iconic fashion houses and forgotten designers—whose work deserves to be remembered. From my research, I uncover fascinating tales that are important for today and future generations. My journey into vintage fashion began over 20 years ago, as a teenager growing up in Germany. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with fellow enthusiasts, clients, and industry professionals, all of whom have encouraged me to share what I’ve learned along the way. The Vintage Notebook is a blend of solo episodes about vintage designers, intimate conversations with like-minded fashion enthusiasts, and insider stories from the world of fashion history and collecting. I’ll also be sharing my expertise on the vintage industry, giving you a glimpse behind the scenes of this fascinating world. Join me on this journey, where the past meets the present, and the stories of vintage fashion live on.
