Grateful Dead - Rock and Roll Vintage

"It was music I loved. That’s what it meant, I mean it didn’t mean anything. It meant have a good time, it meant rock and roll. Whatever – I like the music, that was the thing. It was the background music for the events of my life. My theme music. Them rock and roll songs – that’s what was happening." 

-Jerry Garcia, The Rolling Stone Interview by Jann S. Wenner and Charles Reich

Veda's Fall 12 Fashion Presentation

Sex pistols meet Courtney Love in an alt grunge underground party.  This fall we were inspired by all things circa 1993 sprinkled with the likes of Tuesday Weld.  Think Shirley Manson (leading lady for band Garbage) drenched in leather and kickin' it with her dolled up Grandmother, both getting blitzed, cigarettes in hand.  All things copacetic. 

For our fall fashion week presentation, Olivia Malone shot our collection on some super babes at The Hole in downtown NYC.  

Check out thisisveda.com for new fall styles coming soon.

These are not real crystals.  They are paintings.  
They also may or may not have magical healing powers, but they are badass so we don't really care.
