Warhol Shoe Print in a Vintage Frame

Warholshoes

Perhaps not immediately recognisable as the work of the infamous pop artist, these beautifully framed shoe prints are indeed by Andy Warhol.

There are two prints available, each featuring a vintage-looking shoe with a famous saying with the word “shoe” inserted. The pink and blue court shoe print bears the words “you can lead a shoe to water, but you can’t make it drink” whilst the pointy green and yellow shoe print has the words “shoe bright, shoe light, the first shoe I’ve seen tonight”.

They are finished in a vintage white frame and are available to buy from Heal’s for £125. You can buy the prints unframed elsewhere on the internet, if you want to recreate the look yourself.

Vintage Lace Curtains

LacepanelsLace curtains are a vintage style that hasn’t quite crossed back over into mainstream décor and to many minds will still be the preserve of nosey neighbours. However, the small selection of Vintage Lace Curtains currently available from Rockett St George manages to dispel any images of suburban snoopers.

It is the modern colour palette (rather than the off-white of old) that makes these curtains worth considering. They are available in a choice of lipstick pink, candy pink, aubergine and blue. They measure 91cm x 230cm and cost £100 each but Rockett St George may be able to supply other sizes upon request.

Visit the Rockett St George website for more information.

Patrick Schuur Cassette Tape Closet – made of old tapes

Cassette_closet

Clever design with a distinctly retro vibe – the Cassette Tape Closet by Patrick Schuur.

It’s described as a ‘project’ (which might mean it isn’t available), but when it does hit the market, you can pick up a large storage unit packed with 918 vintage cassettes (yes, real ones) fixed to the wooden exterior, creating an item that’s part art and part functional design.

If you want to get your name down for one (or just want to find out how much this unique item will cost), get in touch via the website.

Sherwood Peep Toe shoes from Topshop

Topshop_shoes

Looking back through the annals of fashion history, it’s sometimes hard not to get irked by the eighties. While forties fashion kick-started many of the fantastic tailoring shapes and techniques we love, much of the more flambouyant themes of the decade have already been ‘done’ by designers in the eighties. Not a problem most of the time, but when the eighties ruined things, it really went to town.

That means that shoes like these Sherwood peep toes from Topshop can be worn either way, though good design thankfully stands the test of time. Wear them with your eighties clobber, or for a more sleek look try a forties style tea dress and set hair.

£55 from Topshop.

Rosette Jacket by Fever

Rosette_jacket

Just because it’s becoming increasingly horrible outdoors, doesn’t mean that outerwear choices are confined to longline jackets and winter coats. If you’re looking for a more sleek jacket that’ll still keep you suitably warm, this Rosette Jacket by Fever isn’t half bad.

Taking inspiration from a few decades gone by, this jacket combines retro flavours with modern rather well. While the mix of 40s, 50s and a hint of 80s might not be to everyone’s tastes, it’s a little bit funky and very unusual.

Thanks to the winter-friendly wool mix fabric, this one will set you back £100 from Oli.

Snack & Stack Utensil Set

Snackstack

The Rubik’s Cube has certainly inspired a few products, but nothing can compare to the influence that Lego has on product designers.

Adding to the already long list of lego-like products, is the Snack & Stack Utensil Set. Each set consists of a knife, a fork and a spoon, each with silicone handles that allow them to lock together in that famous Lego way.

A set can be ordered online from Pop Deluxe for just under $17 (around £10).
