1950s-inspired Fred Perry Laurel Wreath Collection by Richard Nicoll

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fp1

Ken Russell's iconic images of 1950s Teddy Girls provide the inspiration for the new Fred Perry Laurel Wreath Collection by Richard Nicoll.

It's the first collection by Nicoll for Fred Perry, which promises 'Edwardian dandiness' and vintage reference points like pointelle cardigans and mother of pearl brooches, as well as period colours to create something modern, but with a distinctly 1950s twist.

You can find out for yourself if it works from Monday 10th January, which is when the collection goes on sale online and instore. Or you can check the images above and over the page. Prices, as you can imagine, vary.

In With The In Crowd 1960s-style dresses

Posted on | Leave a comment

Crowd1

We featured these over at our Modculture site yesterday, but we suspect there will also be an interest in the In With The In Crowd dresses and clothing line over here too.

In With The In Crowd's Melissa recently started designing and making her own dresses and jackets because she couldn't find anything suitable for herself, with all items produced 'to a high quality', fully lined and with 60s-style detailing (like covered buttons for example).

Prices start at £32.99, although Melissa has sent across a discount code too – if you enter the code RetroToGo at the checkout, you'll get another 15 per cent off. See more designs over the page or check out the site for even more.

Beastie Brat t-shirt at Stardust

Posted on | 1 Comment

Beastie

Recognise the image? Yes, the Beastie Brat t-shirt at Stardust is based on a hip hop classic.

That being the original Beastie Boys logo from the debut '86 album, Licensed To Ill. So, not only are you dressing your child, you're making said child far more hip than the rest of the nursery intake with his or her nod to old school hip hop cool.

It's an ethically-made t-shirt, made from a premium interlock cotton, with nickel-free poppers and sizes from 0-6 months to 10 years. The price is £14.50, with an option for 'Beastie Girl' or 'Beastie Baby' if you prefer. If that doesn't appeal, the rest of the range features everyone from Joe Strummer to the Sisters of Mercy.

It's almost the new year, which means it's time for a resolution. If yours involves getting on a bike, maybe you should get yourself something from the Morgan Blue vintage-style cycling jersey range. Although to be honest, it'll look just as cool without the cycle.

Hand-made in Belgium, the jerseys come in six different designs, including some iconic team colours – Molteni was the team led by Eddy Merckxx during his most dominant years, Faema was the powerful pro team from 1955 – 1970, while Solo-Superia was legendary Belgian rider Rik van Looy's team during the 1960s.

All jerseys are a 'casual' fit with a quarter length zip, retro steel zip and with Wool-Acryl construction. £89.99 is the price if you want one.
