Black is just one colour option, others include pink and cream, with a skittle-like shape that comes from being hand-moulded in fibreglass, then lacquered.

The Impossible Project to revive instant Polaroid photography

Impossibleproject

Polaroid stopped producing its analogue instant film in 2008 so supplies of it are limited and at a premium. The Impossible Project hopes to change that situation by inventing a new film product can be used in vintage Polaroid cameras, thus reviving instant photography.

 It seems like a worthy cause, but it is obviously one that comes at a cost, so to support their mission, The Impossible Project is selling the t-shirts above. The men’s design is available in navy or brown and features the project logo along with a drawing of a Polaroid photograph. The ladies style comes in red or black with a heart-shaped design made up of Polaroids.

The t-shirts costs 28 Euros each and can be ordered from The Impossible Project website, where you can also find out more about their mission.

Nautical Halter Dress by Rare

Nautical rare

Of the myriad nautical styled dresses available on the high street at the moment, this version by Rare is one of the best yet for retro looks. With an instantly recognisable fifties flavour, this dress is an unusual gem.

The use of a halter neck, combined with well defined sweetheart neckline give a perfectly done pin-up look, while the high waist of the skirt and figure-hugging cut give a wiggle effect. The colour scheme and oversized buttons give an immediate nautical feel without veering into the dress up box.

Get it online from Oli for £49.
