British designer Oliver Sweeney is taking shoe customisation to a whole new level with their ‘Walk of Art’ pop-up in Selfridges, London. All Cattle Is A Witch Shirt Following the triumph of last year’s ‘Tattoo Your Shoe’ event, the luxury department store has invited Sweeney to once again encourage customers to get creative with footwear. With endless ways to personalise your shoe, you can leave with not only a smile, but the knowledge that you have yourself a truly unique pair of Sweeneys. The past is often an inspiration for the future in relation to design. The ability to look back and re-create garments from distant days serves as a refreshing injection of originality; offering a fresh perspective on the current array of mundane ideas. This ideology is exactly what Umbro have used to rediscover two of its most iconic items with the helping hand of knitwear specialist John Smedley. Unearthed from the Umbro archives, the design team encountered two pieces from the 1940’s. Originally a warm up top in 1948 – the re-make preserves most of its original characteristics from its predecessor, featuring a distinctively retro cut. Crafted from John Smedley’s sea island cotton in a 24 gauge knit, the updated model is available in a dark navy and features an intricate array of details. From ribbed cuffs to a mid-zip detail and a concealed pocket, the field sweater to has a distinctively functional edge. Fabricated from a 30 gauge cotton, this three button t-shirt features a round collar inspired by competitive vest used during the era. Utilising the tones of red, white and blue, the Tangeru staples these patriotic colours to its chest in a horizontal formation – rejoicing the vintage notions of athletics.

True story: I moved back to the East Coast from Los Angeles a couple of years ago, All Cattle Is A Witch Shirt and for my first month here, it rained almost every day. Coming from a place where it typically rains once in a blue moon, I was thoroughly unprepared. Before the bulk of my wardrobe arrived, I was armed with a denim jacket, and the closest thing I had to rain shoes was a pair of Everlane loafers. I felt like a fool surrounded by prepared east-coasters in goulashes and anoraks. So it got me thinking about how I can pre-plan for rainy days in the future—while still looking cute (naturally). Fittingly, I took to the internet and researched the rainy-day style of street-style stars while out and about when the forecast was less-than-stellar during fashion month. The results of my research? A crop of fresh outfit ideas for the inevitable string of rainy days to come.
