Christina Ricci keeps clothes until they become fashionable again

Clever little Christina Ricci has a genius attitude to the spurned pieces in her wardrobe – keep them long enough and they’ll eventually come back in style.

When the Sleepy Hollow actress asked her stylist how long she should hang onto a garment before it stopped being uncool and become a quirky vintage piece, the answer was seven years. There you have it girls, keep your horrible footless tights from 2006 for a few more years and suddenly you’ll call yourself some cool “vintage” legwear to wear again. (Though actually, we really hope that footless tights never go back into fashion.)

She explained: “I asked my stylist, ‘What’s the rule from when something becomes vintage and not just, like, last season? Seven years, apparently. So seven years later, I’ve brought out my Alaia dresses again.”

There you have it. Keep anything long enough and it’ll come back in fashion again, according to Christina Ricci’s stylist. That’s actually quite comforting considering the amount of crap in my wardrobe…
