Get to Know Nashville: Carmen Jaudon of Closet Case Vintage

Welcome to our new monthly series highlighting some of our favorite designers, shop owners, vintage dealers and basically anyone we meet along the way who we think you need to know too.

This month, we're staying in Nashville and featuring Closet Case Vintage owner, wardrobe stylist and friend of Stella Shops, Carmen Jaudon.  
 

Your First Fashion Memory:  The time I conned my grandmother into buying me a Little Mermaid bikini for my birthday. My mother was not pleased with such a risque bathing suit for a 4 year-old. Nowadays, I couldn't agree more!

Your Style in Five Words or Less:  Empty bank account 1950's luxe.
 

You Can Never Have Too Many:  Unspeakables. Slips, panties, pantyhose, bras...

Your Most Fabulous Fashion Moment:  Being featured in the style section of Rolling Stone Magazine.

You Couldn’t Live Without:  Cotton sundresses from the 50's or the 70's. I live in them.

The Vintage Piece that Started Your Collection:  A 1970's cream sweater. I was 8 and in love with the 70's... I still have the sweater!

The Best Advice You Could Give Someone New to Vintage Collecting:  Keep an open mind! 

Thanks Carmen!
