We quite like are obsessed with the 90s here at Le Blow. And we’re also pretty partial to a pair of pimped-up kicks. So it probably comes as no surprise to learn that, if we had to choose our all-time favourite type of trainer (or make that ‘style of sneaker’ for our US readers – […]
Good god, we were all over Nasir Mazhar’s SS13 collection like Pince Harry cavorting with nekked ladies in Vegas. Showcased at the uber cool Topshop Show Space (our fave LFW hangout this season), it was Mazhar’s first foray into garms from accessories, celebrating ‘the interconnectedness of fashion and music’ – a recurring theme in this […]
News flash – Paloma Faith carrying the Olympic flame last week. She didn’t have to totter down the road wearing patent, skyscraper stilettos to make a fashion statement (or anti-fashion if you clock the customized white tracksuit). Actual trainers, that is, real performance trainers are arguably the most fashion-forward footwear you can currently own. Saucons […]
So what the EFF do you do when you’ve bought into summer pastels and 50s shorter-than-short playsuits and the weather LITERALLY PISSES ALL OVER THEM. Eh? EH?! Don’t get mad, get streetwear (welcome) Ahhh, urban streetwear. Ever since the genius H&M Versace collaboration two seasons ago which Jessie J was literally BORN FOR (seriously, I […]
Last year I spent most of the summer almost getting trench foot by wearing Converse to festivals. This year I probably haven’t learnt my lesson as I’m massively perving on these two collaborations involving other brands of canvas footwear aka ‘Nonverse’. Superga x House of Holland Henry Holland has injected some magic from his SS12 […]
This one is dedicated to my dearest friend Tamara ‘can I wear a pastel bouclé jacket to a garage night?’ Hopkins (follow her on Twitter here). The answer to the above is of COURSE, ‘yes’. So long as your lipstick matches, and indeed for all of us *looks down at fuschia jeans, lemon socks, mint jumper, […]
We seem to have a birrova foot fetish here on Le Blow. No, not like that, you kinky bastards, but we do seem to be slightly obsessed with marriages made in sneaker heaven. Now that spring has pretty much officially sprung (we know this to be true, as the ol’ ankle-o-meter recorded at least two […]
When I was a kid I always said I wanted to have Chinese babies. When quizzed, my reply was not “because they are soooo fricking cute” or “because I have an Asian persuasion”. I wanted Chinese babies because on You’ve Been Framed they always showed Chinese babies doing funny things like falling asleep in their […]
Regular readers of Le Blow will know we heart the following things (amongst many – obviously boys, booze and smurfs are missing from the below list for starters…): Pink haired model Charlotte Free Bonkers fashion collections Retro hi-top trainers Jeremy Scott’s collaborations with Adidas So you can imagine we were wee-our-pants excited to see the […]
I am possibly the least sportiest girl you’ll find. Granted, I LOVE watching football and calling the referee a wanker, but usually the only part of my body that runs is my snotty nose. Funny then, that I should currently be obsessing over hi-tops, eh? And I mean OBSESSED. But not for partaking in sporting […]
