 | Nothing says chic or sophisticated like equestrian. Classic lines, form flattering fit and above all an understated sense of glamor define how you look and feel when you’re in a tailored tweed blazer and a great pair of riding boots. Generally, the only problem with this style is that it isn’t only rich in look…it’s rich in price. That’s why we were absolutely blown away when browsing through Zara the other day and stumbled up this incredible pair of boots – for under $90.00! What is also a great feature, is that while the top is 100% leather, the body of the boot is polyurethane, so this boot doubles as a really chic companion in the rain!Get the Look Here! |
Dezeen Space: Victoria Spruce and her sculptural shoes are the stars of our micro-exhibition Dezeen Platform at Dezeen Space today.
Spruce graduated from the Royal College of Art this summer and we published her collection of footwear that combine shiny plastic shells with traditional leather soles in July.
The moulded uppers twist and fold around the wearer’s foot and into the heels.
Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.

 | We love us a good flat, here at the Hive – but we also love a little height.

We take the latest in zig-zagged sneakers for a spin on NYC streets
From their collection for Target to Marina, the puppet blogger,
Missoni’s playful spirit is hard to miss these days. But their collaboration with Converse, one of the earlier reinventions of the family-run Italian label, is the project that we still gravitate to most. This latest and fourth edition combines a raschel knit (a fabric with a texture almost like crochet) from Missoni’s Spring 2012 collection with a version of a Chuck Taylor All Star that was originally created for the U.S. Military in the ’60s.
With leather accents and a muted colorway of tans and greys, the limited-edition shoe is serious enough for the coming fall season. Missoni’s trademark zig-zags, along with bright blue accents (you can opt for blue laces too) and the luxurious softness of the material keep you cozy, and might just bring out a smile.
Debuting tonight, 8 September 2011, as part of Fashion’s Night Out, the shoes will be available at Missoni boutiques as well as Converse’s First String stores for $200.
Torna DUFFs, il celebre marchio fondato negli anni ‘90 da Steve Rocco e Rodney Mullen, ora distribuito in Italia nei migliori skateshop da MaydayDistribution. La collezione della prossima stagione presenta nuove versioni di modelli più che consolidati, come le Louie (pro model di Louie Barletta), le G4 o le Pedro (pro model di Cooper Wilt).
