CASHMERE IS INCREDIBLY IN, AS IS LEATHER.

THINGSText: Nicolas Roope

Cashmere is incredibly in, as is leather.

Prize purchases this month are the transparent Nike socks which make the little tick look like a tattoo on your ankle. Another nice thing I saw was a YakPak bag in the shape of a beetle.

Platform trainers, can someone please explain?

I’ve got crocodile skin after image on the back of my retina after countless fashion editorials displaying the pattern. I really don’t see it somehow, it’s all too Indiana Jones and we’re still too ironic for that.

We must all boycott trainer purchases until good designs become available. I had to go retro when I went on my NYC trainer pilgrimage, as the new range all looked like crude monsters from star trek.

Another tip (if Nike are reading,) is don’t let basketball players design trainers, let them play basketball. I think you know what I mean.
