Red Nose Tees by Stella McCartney

On March 13th 2009 there are going to be a lot of Brits wandering about with uncommonly red, not to mention round, noses. Add to this the likelihood that these red nosers will probably be doing something ridiculous like wearing fancy dress to work, having their legs waxed in public (particularly if they’re male), and … Read more

Adidas SLVR

adidas SLVR Spring / Summer 2009 from adidas SLVR on Vimeo. Rated ‘Best Sportswear’ in the Feb 2009 edition of design magazine, Wallpaper, is Adidas’s new SLVR range, which apparently is positionted somewhere between its own Y-3 range and American Apparel. We love the emphasis on waste-aware production and funky cuts.

Time for a Costume Change

Sometimes it’s inconvenient to change your t-shirt, maybe you’re wearing mittens, maybe you’re in a public place, or maybe you simply don’t have another clean one. The trouble with having to wear something all day long is that a day is a long time. After a good three hours you can get so bored of … Read more

How much do you LV scarves?

I wonder if anyone’s ever asked you the question: what’s the most money you’d pay for a scarf? Would it be £10, £20 or even £50? I’m going to hedge a guess that it wasn’t £490, unless you’re the proud owner of the Stephen Sprouse Rose scarf from Louis Vuitton, the most indulgent scarf out … Read more

Pea Tees

Personally, I really like peas – they’re small, green and very versatile little things that can liven up any dish, however many people dislike the smallest, most spherical greens of the vegetable world. Peas shouldn’t be neglected though; they have hidden depths: you may think that they’re a vegetable, but technically (well botanically speaking) they’re … Read more

Obama Dares to Bare

20th January 2009, the day of President Obama’s inauguration. A day of history, a day of prestige, a day foregrounded by snap-shots of Obama holidaying in Hawaii…in his bathing trunks. Seeing someone famous minus most of their clothes always seems to spark media attention, and having a good gawp at toned Barack’s bod has only … Read more

Hot Water Shirts

At the moment my daily dreams are about those spring/summer days when you can just walk outside in a t-shirt with bare arms and not feel the chill…hubba hubba. But sadly reality strikes: the ground outside is thick with snow and I live in a flat in Scotland that doesn’t have central heating. Instead of … Read more

A little bit of old fashioned glamour

Want to visit a 1930s style fashion boutique, but you’re just a) to busy to travel to some European style capital or b) don’t have the technological equipment required to travel approx 80 years back in time? Thankfully for you Atelier-Mayer have tapped into these widespread difficulties, and after some careful designing have resurrected a … Read more

Welly I never

There was a time not so long ago when Wellington boots were only associated with country farmers and marmalade (or should that now be marmite?) muncher Paddington Bear. Oh, how times have changed. The Wellington has escaped the farm and is ready to be pulled up the calves of catwalk models, even more so this … Read more

Once upon a t-shirt, in the land of Bob…

Ever heard of Bob Boutique? It may not have the natural charisma and charm of some of our favourite Bob’s – it might not be as cheeky as Bob Hoskins, be able to fix it quite like Bob the Builder, or have the Live Aid organisational skills of Bob Geldof, but it is certainly ‘cute … Read more
