Modern vintage is something like Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Peaches Geldof; a mixture of vintage and trendy clothes (popular modern clothes).Here's an article on how to create a modern vintage look, often referred to as vintage inspired or vintage style.
Steps
1 Decide what type of vintage style you want to recreate? Do you want to look like a modern flapper girl? Do you want to have something from the 50s and 30s in your image? Maybe you want to add a Victorian touch to your style? 
2 Your hair should be very long or very short. It depends on the decade you want to represent. If you chose the 20s, then it could be beans in all sorts of variations. But instead of cutting all your hair to the same length, add layers for a more modern look. If you want to keep your hair long, this is fine too! Beach Waves is a cute hairstyle for long hair that looks cute with vintage and modern clothing. But don't be afraid to try something new! Vintage is unique and individual. 
3 Wear dresses from vintage or thrift stores. Vintage stores are more expensive, but easier to find clothes that you like. It is a good idea to wear slightly wide floral dresses, but they should not be too short (knee-length or slightly higher, but definitely below the buttocks!) You can also buy modern, vintage-style clothing. New clothing often mimics previous styles, such as skirts for dresses, shirt dresses, straps, or layered flapper dresses. Often, new vintage clothing has a wider range of sizes and better prices than actual vintage shops. 
4 Buy vintage blazers or cardigans. Cardigans are great for you and they are also comfortable. Leather (or artificial leather) jackets are a must-have item in any wardrobe. Oversized cardigans are more popular because they look "worn" and old-fashioned, and they can also be great with other wardrobe items. 
5 Wear old fashioned necklaces. Pearl necklaces (you can buy a faux one, since the real thing is really expensive), a gold medallion, or just a lot of long necklaces in layers are some great examples. For more ideas, you can search vintage jewelry on Google. 
6 Choose your shoes. Shoes should be modern; think of high-heeled shoes, modern chunky boots or sandals. Oxfords are a great choice and go well with many outfits, but they tend to be more expensive. 
7 Wear nightie dresses. These dresses look very vintage. Just make sure you are wearing a model that suits your figure and that you feel great! Pair nightie dresses with a sweater or leather jacket, and complement this look with ankle boots. If it's too hot for warm shoes, wear oxfords or something similar. 
8 Wear high-waisted skirts. High-waisted skirts are great. They are very popular as vintage clothing and can still be seen today. They suit a lot and can be paired with a variety of tops, so stock up! 
9 Add tights or leggings. Pair them with dresses, long shirts, or wear them under shorts for a unique look. It doesn't matter what color or pattern will be, but try to choose ones that will go well with your clothes. Try buying tights / leggings made from materials that are suitable for both cold and warm weather so that you can wear them all year round. 
10 Try on skirts and maxi-length dresses (long, ankle / ankle length). They are very popular and are great for the summer. Pair dresses with cute waistcoats, sandals and a headband for a cute summer look inspired by vintage style.
Tips
- Buy clothes in second hand - they are cheap, Besides you are helping the environment.
- Look for vintage jewelry / clothing from your mothers or grandmothers. You can find old and favorite clothes in their chests!
- Don't be afraid to mix and match clothes and accessories from different decades and modern times. Be your own style icon.
- Skinny jeans are a must have in your wardrobe. They will serve as a modern canvas for your more vintage shirts and accessories.
- You can dress like your idol, but try to keep a few personal touches - add things you love and feel special about.
- Browse old photos for inspiration. Pay attention to how the people dressed in the photo, and pick elements of your favorite outfits - whether it's a vintage flying shirt, shirt dress, or even flared jeans. Just make sure you don't completely copy their outfits - you want to look modern.
