Adidas_stan

Another day, another variation of the classic Adidas Stan Smith, this time the Adidas Stan Smith Vintage in burgundy.

An update of the classic 1960s shoe (and the bestselling Adidas trainer ever made), this new version keeps the perforated detailing, but replaces the usual leather upper with a burgundy suede, matching it with a white leather heel tab and bright white rubber sole.

Available for pre-order now and likely to be a limited edition, the Adidas Stan Smith Vintage in burgundy is yours for £75.

On 13th and 14th June Carnaby Street will be revisiting the era with which it is synonymous with Swinging Carnaby, a weekend of events and promotions celebrating the 60s.

The street will host a range of 60s inspired activities with highlights including complimentary 60s style makeovers courtesy of MAC and Pix!, style advise on dressing like Twiggy in the Beauty Lounge and archive displays from that period from Lee Jeans, Van’s, Fred Perry and Hilfiger Denim. DJS will be playing in many of the stores, whilst live bands with a retro influence will play from a stage at the corner of Carnaby and Broadwick Streets.

The weekend also offers another opportunity to see Philip Townsend’s photography exhibition “Sorry you Missed The 60s” and Art Vinyl will host an exhibition of iconic album artwork from the period.

For further information on the Swinging Carnaby weekend, visit the Carnaby website.

Gama Clothing 1960s Clubs t-shirts by Gary Crowley

Posted on | 1 Comment

Gama2

Gama Clothing has produced a range of t-shirts featuring iconic 60s clubs and other institutions of the decade.

The GCT's are 'designed' by DJ and broadcaster Gary Crowley, although as most of the logos are pulled from original 60s artwork, I'm not sure how much designing was actually done – although he has picked the designs that feature on the shirts and overseen development of the range to be fair.

Regardless of that, the shirts are certainly eye-catching and worth a look for your summer hols, with The Marquee, the Flamingo, The Scene and The International Times being the first of the limited edition designs for sale. You can buy all of those from 1st June 2009, priced at £20. See over for more images.

Trefoil1

A timeless classic that's been around for more years than the majority of us – the Adidas 3 Stripes Trefoil t-shirt.

I certainly had similar ones as a kid and that's no surprise – these t-shirts are an exact replica of the first t-shirt made by Adidas. For your money, you get a slim-fitting top made of 100 per cent cotton, with the three stripes on the sleeves and a flock logo on the chest.

Various colours available (see another over the page), with a price of £25.
