Teenage Kicks limited edition book by Pete McKee

Posted on | Leave a comment

Teenagekicks3

We're big fans of Pete McKee's retro-style illustrations and if you are too, you might want to get your hands on his new Teenage Kicks book.

It's the book version of his most recent exhibition, which celebrates the good, the bad and the ugly influences music has had on fashion. All 22 paintings from the collection are featured, along with additional sketches, all signed by the artist and limited to just 500 copies in total.

Included with the book is a special etched piece of white vinyl featuring the image Booty and the Beat (above). The book and vinyl are packaged in a special 12-inch record sleeve, with Phil Oakey of the Human League doing the foreword. You can see that packaging over the page or head to the artist's site to get one. Price is a not-inconsiderable £120.

eBay watch: Size? exclusive Adidas Manchester limited edition trainers

Posted on | 6 Comments

Adidas_manchester_size

As some of you might recall, the retailer Size? is selling classic, limited edition Adidas Manchester trainers and tracktops for its 10th anniversary, some of which were sold instores over the weekend, the rest being sold online this morning.

If, like me, you were one of the people trying to buy some, you'll probably have found a frustrating and in the end, almost shambolic procedure. Being informed there was no stock at the end of the billing procedure (after previously securing some online), even getting a cancellation email after an order was confirmed. Not good at all.

But where there's demand, there is always supply – and a number of the lucky few have decided to stick their (not very) prized possessions straight onto the eBay website. So if you have money to spare, sellers are already asking anything between £100 and £300 for a pair of the £69.99 trainers. Yes, really. If you want to browse what's currrently there, follow our link to the trainers currently being sold.

Fiat 500C by Diesel unveiled

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat1

The original Fiat 500 by Diesel went on sale around 18 months back, but priced well up on the basic model. So we expect much the same of the forthcoming Fiat 500C by Diesel.

As you've probably guessed, this is another remake of everyone's favourite modern-day retro car, but with Diesel giving treatment to the convertible 500. So the same Diesel detailing on the wheels, side-panels and interior, the same anthracite colourway (pictured over the page) and new blue (above) and beige versions.

No news on price, but it would be wise to budget up on a standard convertible.
