the author arranges retro in three different categories: material revival, immaterial revival, and literal revival. Material revival describes the renewal of a material also known as “vintage” (Mackinney-Valentin 68). For example, heading to a local thrift store, buying high-waisted jeans and cutting them to make high-waisted shorts. I do this! It has become a hobby and I love it! The authors describe immaterial revival as wearing old designer labels that have been incorporated with the current fashion. I have a Levi denim vest! This counts right? Finally, the author describes literal revival as literally copying an exact style from the past.
