I always think that February is the best time for a good read. The excitement of Christmas is well and truly over, it’s cold, spring feels a long long way away. Being a stickler for re-reading my favourite books over and over again, I always try to use February to find new ones and break the … Read more
The brief: “to create and manipulate text in a way that it becomes the design rather than just being a part of it”. After launching a new design competition, community t-shirt designers from Threadless have united text and image, and the results are beautiful. With phrases like ‘A Piece of Cake‘, and ‘Pigeons are Rats with Wings’, … Read more
Only 216 years after her death, Marie Antoinette has become a style icon. Though it ended in a conviction of treason and the guillotine, her life of sumptuous excess and frivolity is something we’d all like to see a bit more of during the doom and gloom of recession. Looking good enough to eat, these Marie Antoinette inspired … Read more
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 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.

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
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
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
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
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
