Officially sanctioned by the Andy Warhol Foundation and now available in the UK is this Andy Warhol Marilyn Gold skateboard deck by Alien Workshop.
Use it as a deck or perhaps more likely, as a piece of wall art, with the board featuring a distressed gold coloured base with Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe original screen print on the bottom. It also has a red and blue layered ply and a distressed gold coloured top.
Interesting that Citroen was running an 'anti-retro' campaign recently, Obviously didn't tick too many boxes, as the company has now gone retro, specifically with the Citroen DS3 by Orla Kiely.
But it's not gone too retro. The selling point here is the same Citroen DStyle HDi 90 model that's been around for a while, only this time it comes with a choice of four Orla Kiely designs for the exterior. There's also plenty of interior detail, including stem print rear window graphics, a colour contrasting dashboard, themed door handle inserts, Orla Kiely embossed multi-coloured headrests on the leather seats and stem or acorn print carpet mats for the interior detail.

We flagged these up some time back, but after some weeks, the Le Coq Sportif x Hanon Arthur Ashe Premium trainers are now available to buy.
If you missed them back then, this is a remake of the classic 70s/80s tennis shoe, made for US tennis legend Arthur Ashe. It's a premium edition too, made to high standards at the Le Coq Sportif factory with the support of the Arthur Ashe Foundation in New York, which will also get some of the profits. It's also limited to just 100 pairs worldwide. So you might want to get in quick if you want your size.
If you loved The Prisoner by Piper Gates Design recently, chances are you'll also love this latest limited edition poster by the designer, a new take on Bedazzled.
As you might have guessed, this is a tribute to the original Bedazzled, not the nightmare remake. Which means it does, of course, feature one of its stars – the legend that is Peter Cook. Like the recent Prisoner poster, it also uses the format of 1960s Penguin paperback reference books, complete with an old 3'6 price tag on the top.
Just 30 copies of this have been produced, sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on 194 gram paper, all signed by the artist. If you want one, you can grab one for £24.99. See over the page for an image of one framed up.
