What is fuelling our love for vintage rock 'n' roll fashion?

Back in the 1950s when rock 'n' roll first burst on to the scene, it was dismissed by some as a fad. Karinna Nobbs, Lecturer at the London College of Fashion, says that nostalgia for better times is part of the wider appeal for rock鈥檔鈥檙oll. Elizabeth Hotson visits Vivien of Holloway in London, a company established in 2000, which specialises in 1950s dresses and clothing.
