Accessory, thy name is vanityBy EILS LOTOZOKnight Ridder NewspapersIn the 1930s and ’40s one of the most important beauty aids a woman could own was a dressing table. The vanity — be it a demure skirted model or round-mirrored, art deco style — was both sanctuary and battle station, the place she spent an essential part of every day in pursuit of glamour’s high calling. By the time the new millennium rolled around, glamour was on the skids and dressing tables had all but disappeared. Today, though, dressing tables have roared back into vogue. High end to low, modern to traditional, vanities are everywhere. The vanity revival seems to have gotten its start in 2002. That year fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi predicted in an article for House & Garden that dressing tables would come back with a vengeance, and Thomasville introduced an attention-getting deco-inspired vanity as part of its Bogart Collection. Interior designer Louis Navarrete has seen increasing call for the custom-made vanity tables he sells out of Louis N., his furniture and accessories showroom. Recent projects have included lavishly mirrored pieces and one coated in silver leaf with a mercury-glass top. His designs start at $4,500, but Navarrete thinks a vanity is an ideal item on which to splurge. “You use a vanity every morning and again if you go out at night,” he said. “You may as well get something fabulous that you are happy with.” Jackie Hirschaut, vice president of public relations for the American Home Furnishings Alliance, sees the re-emergence of the vanity as part of a larger home-decor trend — the sumptuous master suite. “It’s all part of creating comfort zones in the home. And a vanity is one more little luxury you can have under your roof,” Hirschaut said. Other observers, though, see the dressing table’s return as an indicator of social change. “There has been a re-emergence in recent years of traditional markers of femininity,” said Linda M. Scott, author of Fresh Lipstick: Redressing Fashion and Feminism (Palgrave Macmillan). Among the signs, according to Scott: the popularity of pink, the return of glitter and beading, and fashions that favor close-fitting, body-baring styles. “Some of what is going on is that there is a new generation of women who don’t agree that femininity is a bad thing,” who believe that a woman can be powerful, intelligent and sexy, said Scott, a professor of media and popular culture at the University of Illinois. But Scott suspects it’s not just young women who are embracing dressing tables. She also thinks an older generation is reclaiming the pleasures to be found in beauty rituals. In addition, aging baby boomers find that looking good takes a lot more time, and far more beauty products, than it used to. It’s simple: They need a place to rest and somewhere to store all that stuff. The idea comes through in a spread on vanities in a recent issue of Domino magazine, which bills them as “me stations.” It’s a silly expression that’s unlikely to catch on, but the magazine’s images present an appealing alternative to standing in front of the bathroom mirror with a blow dryer. One photo pictures an elegant mirrored vanity table that holds perfume, a vase of red roses and a white teacup and saucer. Now, that’s the way to start the day.
