Fashion-wise, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with rapper/producer Kanye West. The guy can flip from Steve Urkel prep to Steve McQueen cool without ever missing a beat. For you to maintain, you’d need a limitless expense account and a closet the size of Ft. Benning. Thankfully, there’s Schuh, one of England’s premier addresses for the cool and forward-thinking. The famed sneaker stop can’t help much with the wardrobe but the place works wonders for your feet. A UK staple of style since 1981, Schuh doesn’t profess to keeping every kick in Kanye’s knapsack, but it’s probably shooting somewhere north of 75%. No matter if it’s a hard-to-find Nike Dunk, some new Timberlands or the exclusive Puma Furios, this hip site likely has it. The ladies are also shown some love with high heels, sandals and boots. Overall, the selection Read More ...

With the newest trends obvious to every high street shopper, it is the vintage shops that should really get all the attention. Rather than people bringing you champagne or tonic water to drink, you lean over bin after bin trying quickly to find “the” perfect outfit for heading out on the town. Instead of having a personal shopping experience, you are literally fighting over a pair of pants with some person who swears she saw them first. No matter how it may sound, vintage shopping is something to uphold and to appreciate rather than to be put down. Vintage shoppers are a unique breed. They are people who known fashion instinctively without the help of magazines, sales people and catwalks. They are the ones that walk in and can spot a silk ruffled tunic 10 rows away and know that Read More ...
Described by its organisers as “quite simply the best vintage fashion event in London”, Frock Me! is set to take place in the English capital next month. Fashionistas have the chance to pick up couture from every era at the show, whether they long to replicate the 1920s flapper style, 1960s glamour or 1980s retro-chic. Meanwhile, fans of burlesque have the opportunity to acquire gorgeous corsets, basques, feather boas, fans and original 1950s seamed stockings. “The vogue for vintage clothes attracts fashionistas, stylists, models, fashion students, collectors and costume designers for stage and film. Top designers and celebrities can often be spotted amongst the crowds searching for one-off fashion finds,” the organisers explain. Frock Me! traces its history back to the 1990s – when it was known as the Vintage Fashion Fair – and was held in Kensington. It moved Read More ...
