Nikolina Borg got plenty of attention from photographers when she turned up to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in a stunning “pink dream” outfit.
The 35-year-old Sydney stylist had fellow fashionistas tapping on her shoulder asking where she nabbed her flowy designer dress — except it wasn’t.
She bought the 1970s piece from a local Salvos store in Jervis Bay for just $10 when visiting her mum.
“I bought it earlier this year, but day one of Fashion Week was actually the first time I had worn it,” Ms Borg said.
“The dress didn’t even have a tag. I just liked the fabric, which is something I always look out for. A lot of the things from back then are handmade, so the quality is not comparable to today, unless you’re paying a lot more money.”

The dress is made of shiny polyester, a common material used in the ’70s and ’80s.
“Pink dream!” one person commented about her outfit on her Instagram.
“Adore this look!” said another. “OMG YASSSS QUEEN,” another added.
“What a stunning look.”

Her day two looked featured another op shop skirt for under $10, which she paired with a few designer pieces to give her outfit a more expensive look. Picture: Nikolina/ InstagramSource:Instagram
“So, instead, I started shopping at second-hand stores. It was the Melbourne market that first attracted me to vintage.
“It was great — I was not only finding cheap clothes but also donating to a good cause at the same time.”
Every day of Fashion Week so far, Ms Borg, a mother-of-one, has completed her outfit with at least one vintage item — usually the signature piece.
Her ’70s dress was the staple she teamed with a pair of Balenciaga shoes, white beaded bag from Etsy and sunglasses from Chloe.
On day two of the event at Carriageworks, it was all about over-the-top ruffles. She paired her Vinnies skirt (under $10) from the Hills District in Sydney with a white ruffled top from international designer Loeil. Her shoes were slingback blocks from Chanel.
“I like to team my vintage pieces with something designer to give it more of a chic look,” Ms Borg said.
And on day three she managed to find a pair of army green-coloured pants for $5 to perfectly match her Aje designed jacket.
Ms Borg, who is also a mummy blogger and owner of Mamas Fashion Plate, will collaborate with the Red Cross ahead of its pop-up store in Paddington, Sydney on May 31.
She will host a live video on her Instagram page trialling the garments as part of the sale from 4pm to 6pm at Paddington Town Hall.
