1970s Adidas Greenstar trainers get one-colour reissue

Green1

We featured one reissue last year, but now the Adidas Greenstar has been reissued once more, in this rather fetching one-colour finish.

Take your pick from blue (pictured here) or green (over the page), both with a profile faithful to the original 1970 issue (and latter-day terrace favourite), complete with thick cut suede finish, gum sole and your colour of choice for the body, tongue, branding – even the laces.

£54.99 secures you a pair.

Cutie Pie Dress by Dixiefried Clothing

Dixiefriedcutie

Another dedicated retro brand to add to your directory, Dixiefried Clothing routinely strike gold with their vintage look threads. With plenty of 1950s influence on show, their flair for pin-up chic is evident once more in this new Cutie Pie Dress.

Taking a daringly tight wiggle dress shape, the details are perfectly measured to create an authentic pin-up aesthetic. Leopard print detailing at the bustline and waist of the dress help to accentuate the waist and cleavage, while a stretch sateen fabric both sucks you in and shows off your curves all at once.

It's available online in the UK from Hollywood Flame for £65.

Short Naval Jacket by Red Herring

Redherring

Another retro fashion influence that never seems to stop coming back into mainstream fashion, military detailing is guaranteed to be making waves on the high street again at the moment. Good news for lovers of sixties influence, this Naval Jacket by Red Herring is one of the best.

Avoiding the sometimes cliched military trench coat look, this jacket plumbs the rich seam of naval influence to combine two big retro hits – nautical and military looks. The well-tailored cropped shape provides both structure and femininity in one, while brass buttons and matt navy fabric are instantly recognisable retro points.

It's available online from Debenhams now for £30.

Rent an apartment in Erno Goldfinger’s iconic Trellick Tower in London

Trellick1

It's the building you either love or hate, but there's no denying that Trellick Tower is an iconic piece of 20th century design. Want to live there? Well, an apartment has just come up for rent in the Erno Goldfinger-designed west London tower block.

Goldfinger designed the block in the late 60s and despite a large amount of contempt for it, Trellick Tower is grade II listed, so isn't going anywhere in a hurry. Admittedly, we've never been in the place, but we suspect the views from this 15th-floor flat are really going to be something special.
