THIS IS HEAVEN !! PEEP THEM SHOES


 
I  recently showed you a preview of the latest collaboration between Sebago and French design agency La MJC, The Fairhaven, and now I can show you a more detailed view.
The Fairhaven was originally released in 1980 and La MJC’s treatment sees them add contrasting black panels with white stitching and a white leather heel tab to the chunky boot like shape that offers a more robust and urban look.
 Founded in 2001 by Michael Dupouy and Julien Cahn La MJC was one of the first marketing and communications agencies in Europe to specialise in urban youth culture and using the internet to help brand interact with their audience, they have worked with everyone from Colette and Stussy to Nokia and Coca Cola.

LOL !! THE WORLD MOST COLOURFUL ENTOURAGE

NEW FOLK STORE


Folk has opened its second store in the Old Truman Brewery in the East end of London. Over two floors, the 1000 square foot store takes many of the design features from its flagship store on Lambs Conduit Street..   .
The 12 foot ceilings are used to their full benefit with one wall in the store having floor to ceiling storage for the shoe range with an old library style ladder providing access.

The use of an old gym horse for seating and display in the back of the store and colourful milk churns for seating give a nod to Folk’s tongue in cheek attitude.   Fold out benches on either side of the entrance complements the welcoming approach as does there being no counter to split the staff from the public with customers paying via handheld card machines.

In addition to its own collections the store will stock selected other brands including Humanoid, Sessun and Won Hundred for Women and Hill-side ties and Feiyue sneakers for men.

BOWERS & WILKINS ZEPPELIN MINI IPOD SPEAKERS


 
Bowers & Wilkins have launched their second iPod accessory after their iconic Zeppelin speakers.

The Zeppelin Mini has a dock which can be adjusted for vertical or horizontal viewing. The speakers have a USB connection so can play music from a computer and come with a remote control.

LE RITUEL



  
Piper Heidsieck and Christian Louboutin have collaborated on a project named Le Rituel after a French ritual popular in the 1880’s where one would drink champagne from a woman’s shoe. The shoe is made of crystal glass and is designed to resemble one of Christian Louboutin’s shoes and features his signature laquerred red sole and a heel resembling the stem of a champagne flute. The shoe is accompanied by a bottle of Piper Heidsieck Brut and comes in a shoe box.
