Fiat 500 by Gucci priced and dated for UK

Fiat_gucci

Fiat loves a special edition Fiat 500. Not content with launching the Ferrari version, a Diesel model and a convertible, the Italian car giant is now offering the Fiat 500 by Gucci in the UK.

First mentioned back in February, the car has been customised by Gucci to celebrate 150 years of Italian unification and the 90th anniversary of Gucci. Two variations will be available, a 1.2-litre model for £14,565 and the 0.9-litre TwinAir model, which will set you back £15,765. Both will be available online, first come first served, later this month.

Expect numerous special features, including the distinctive colour scheme, a mix of two-tone black with white interior or white exterior with satin chrome and black interior and the option to buy matching clothing by Gucci to go with your new runaround. None of which is likely to come cheap.

Limited edition Diadora Queen 70 ‘Ed Moses’ trainers reissue

Queen70

Moving away from the obvious Adidas, Puma and Nike reissues, we go back to the late 1970s for these Diadora Queen 70 'Ed Moses' trainers, worn, as the name suggests, by the track legend that was Ed Moses.

It might not be cutting-edge track footwear these days, but the limited edition Queen 70 reissue still cuts it in the looks department, with suede overlays, nylon mesh underlays and a vintage treatment applied to the mid and out sole for an old school feel.

Two colourways available, both selling for £69.95 online.

1970s Puma Basket trainers reissued in white and black

Puma_basket

Looking for a non-nonsense trainer with pedigree? Check out this latest reissue of the Puma Basket trainers, offered up in white with black detailing.

The trainers have been around since the 1970s, pre-empting the better-known Clyde, but like that shoe, designed initially for the basketball court. Still loved for their old school looks, the Clyde is reissued here with a premium white upper, contrast stripe and a style pretty much faithful to the original.

Limited numbers (as is the case with almost every trainer reissue these days), you can bag a pair for £55.

New Sir Peter Blake prints launch: Homage to Damien Hirst – Butterfly Man series

Blake1

It still has that distinctive, vintage-esque collage style, but Sir Peter Blake also gives a nod to the contemporary art scene with the launch of his new set of prints, Homage to Damien Hirst – Butterfly Man.

According to the man himself: 'Damien Hirst has used butterflies in a lot in his work, and it was pointed out that 'the butterfly man' owes more than a little to his work, so I was happy to dedicate him in homage to Damien. I am an enormous admirer of Damien’s work.'
