Fiat 500 by Gucci

Posted on 24th February 2011 | Leave a comment

Not content with doing a fashion variation with Diesel, Fiat has now gone high-end with an iconic fashion retailer, producing the Fiat 500 by Gucci.

It follows a similar path judging by the initial snaps. A choice of black and white, both with distinctive contrast stripes, along with matching seatbelts and internal colour scheme, not to mention plenty of Gucci logos and embossed leather seats. It's the fashionista's dream retro car.

Announced for the Milan Fashion Week, it will go public at the Geneva Motor Show on 3rd March. Launch date? Price? We don't know, but we would guess at 'fairly soon' and 'not cheap'. More images over the page.

Eames-inspired Hang it All – Hang it Big by Ruby Anemic

Posted on 18th February 2011 | Leave a comment

The original was one of the first things we featured on this site and there was also a limited edition last year that we also covered. But neither of the original Hang-It-Alls have the impact of the Hang It All – Hang it Big by Ruby Anemic. Because it's huge.

Artist Ruby Anemic has created a 200 x 160cm sculpted tribute to the iconic 1953 coat rack by Charles & Ray Eames, with those tubes made of lacquered white metal, topped off by the polychrome lacquered spheres.

Signed and numbered and limited to 53 units, it sells online for an equally hefty 8,300 Euros, plus shipping of course.

Swifty 40th anniversary of Decimalisation limited edition prints

Posted on 15th February 2011 | Leave a comment

The 15th February 1971 saw the United Kingdom's currency change from the centuries old tradition of shillings and sixpence, to the new decimal currency of one hundred pence to one pound. 40 years on and the event is celebrated by these 40th anniversary of Decimalisation limited edition prints by Swifty.

Most of the coins have survived in some way or other, with the exception of the 'half penny', which was withdrawn in 1984 and is paid tribute to in the series of prints.

Take your pick from four striking colours, original bronze, orange, peacock blue and magenta, all hand pulled silk screen prints, signed and numbered by the artist, sized at 50 x 50cm and in an edition of only 40 per colourway. The price is £40 – or 8,000 half pennies!

eBay watch: 1980s Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition in white

Posted on 15th February 2011 | Leave a comment

Yes, we have featured these before, but every example we have previously seen has been in black. This is a limited edition Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition in white.

Around 1,000 were made in white back in 1988, but it's debatable how many actually survived, although a growing number are creeping onto eBay right now in varying condition, not so many in white though. Maybe time has been less kind to the lighter shade. This particular example has done just short of 70,000 miles in its time, with eight previous owners. All of the 'designer' features look to be there, but you might want to note that its had a 'full body refurb and brand new paint job', so not necessarily original. There's also new carpets, Cooper 'S' Minilite 12" alloys and new tyres as part of the deal.

Another shot over the page or check out the listing for many more. £1,030 is the current bid price.

Adidas London City Series trainers get new blue suede finish

Posted on 11th February 2011 | 1 Comment

Once a rarity from the Adidas archive, then reissued as a limited edition as part of the City Series reissue program, the Adidas London trainers have now appeared in at least five different colour options, with the latest being this blue suede finish.

The shape is as you expect, a slimline, fairly low shoe with perforated tongue and contrasting slim gum sole, with the London lettering in gold. The difference here is that colour, a blue suede upper, with contrasting blue detailing for the stripes and heel.

Limited numbers, they're priced at £56.99.
