Mesh Dreams & Fairy Grunge: A Vintage Layered Look

Layering, Fairy Grunge & Mesh Dreams: A Vintage Fit Check

This video is a little outfit check from the other day—soft, springy and fluffy, with deconstructed fairy vibes. We built the look entirely from vintage finds, mostly sourced between flea markets and second-hand spots in Brussels and Barcelona. 

Note: The video is in Spanish, but you can turn on English subtitles on YouTube.

The Rise of the Mesh Top (And Why We Love It)

Let’s talk about mesh. Sheer printed mesh tops have been everywhere lately—and we’re totally here for it. They come in endless variations: graphic, floral, swirly, abstract… and the best part? Every piece feels unique.

There’s something magical about layering these translucent textures—sometimes ethereal and delicate, other times bold and striking, depending on the print. Mesh lets you play between softness and impact, transparency and presence. And that contrast is part of what makes it so fun to style.

Fairy Grunge Meets Fruits Magazine

The look in this video leans into a kind of fairy grunge mood—playful yet chaotic, soft but deconstructed. Girlie in the city, on her way to a magical rave.

We layered wide-leg jeans underneath an asymmetrical, pixie-style skirt, creating that Fruits Magazine-inspired silhouette we’re a little obsessed with. It’s not the most functional (we admit!), but it builds unexpected shapes and volumes—totally different from what you'd get with a standard outfit.

Layering isn’t always easy at first, but once you start playing, it becomes a kind of design tool: a way to build dimension, tell a more complicated story, or simply drift between textures. And honestly? It’s just really fun.

Treasure Hunting Across Cities

One of our favorite things is wandering through European flea markets, looking for hidden gems. There's nothing quite like finding that unexpected piece—the one you didn’t even know you were looking for, until it stares back at you from the most unglamorous corner of a flea market floor—pure, messy vintage alchemy.

It’s not really about the hunt. It’s about the surprise. That moment when something finds you.
