vintage backgrounds
Someone recently asked me why vintage myspace layouts are so popular. They thought it particularly interesting since many who do a search for vintage backgrounds don’t really know what the term “vintage” means. There are several good answers to those questions about why someone would want a vintage myspace layout.
One is the popularity of vintage clothing which is, generally speaking, clothing from the 1920s to 1975. Since the early 90s, the demand for anything vintage has increased dramatically. This is due in part to increased visibility as worn by celebrities (eg. Julia Roberts, Chloe Sevigny, and Kate Moss.) It follows that anyone wanting to create a myspace layout following today’s trends would look to their favorite stars for inspiration.
That’s where designers of a great vintage background come in. Many myspace vintage layouts, for instance, have been created using the beautiful background patterns in old material. Most vintage fabrics are no longer manufactured. In summary, perhaps it could be said that a person downloading a vintage layout is one who wants their own piece of history. Below are some examples.
