United Colours of Supreme?


90s Benetton, much?

Moschino x McDonald's

Jeremy Scott is a proper little troublemaker, in the best sense of the word. Regular readers of this blog will know I'm a total fangirl. His fast food inspired creations for the Moschino FW14 collection may have some of the old guard clutching at their pearls but

Jelly Shoes Are Back - No, Really



Remember these?? I do, mainly because my mum wouldn't let me have them because she said plastic shoes were bad for my feet. Thanks to the runaway success of rubber shoe brands like Melissa coupled with the trend for all things 90s, jelly shoes are making a fashion comeback thanks to Juju.

The original Babe (chunky heel) and Maxi (flats) styles are available in the retro glitter, pearl and regular finishes, and in a mixture of pastels, brights and monochrome colours all over the shop from Topshop and New Look to Office and Urban Outfitters.  They've even taken a high fashion turn with a clear collaboration shoe for Margaret Howell, pictured above.

I've spotted loads of cool kids who are most likely pretty new to the jelly shoe phenomenon wearing them out and about but now I'm allowed them, I'm not sure I'm so keen. They're definitely a nice bit of nostalgia though for those of us who remember them the first time round.

Jeffrey Campbell Gets All 90s Spice Girls On Lazy Oaf's Ass


Jeffrey Campbell is on a mission. The super cool American shoe designer was, until fairly recently, only stocked in the US, but now he's popping up all over the UK with the latest outlet being our laidback, fun fashion friends over at Lazy Oaf.

Seven exclusive styles including these fab Spice Girl inspired stack sole trainers just like the 1990s Buffalo platforms Sporty, Baby and Geri used to wear, and some signature spike designs with an urban edge and a sky high wedge. Get em while you can, I don't think these will be hanging around for long. www.lazyoaf.co.uk

Global Hyper Color Style Phone Cases from Griffin - Rave On!


You know that saying about wanting to get your 'hot little hands' on something? Well, if you're one of those hot handed types (I'm not, I'm currently sat in my coat and considering lumping on a blanket as well it's so cold today) you'll certainly make an impact with these new colour changing iPhone cases from Griffin.

An extension of the technology made popular in the 90s by Global Hypercolor - those t-shirts that reacted to body heat, changing colour when and where they got warm - these iPhone / iPod Touch covers are a little piece of retro rave culture in your pocket. £24.95 from the Apple Store.

PS. I visited Global's design HQ as part of my school work experience and found a pair of Global Hypercolor jeans in the sample cupboard. THANK GOD those never made it into production - can you imagine?? There does definitely seem to be a bit of love about for the t-shirts again at the mo but having been there and literally having got the T-shirt, I think this is one 90s revival I'll swerve.

MARC BY MARC JACOBS REWORKS CLASSIC 90S TRAVEL FOX KICKS

I've no idea if it was deliberate or not but my fashion hero Marc Jacobs has concocted the most perfect Travel Fox tributes EVER.

These hidden-wedge soled colour blocked hi tops (above) were shown in his recent Spring Summer 2012 Marc by Marc Jacobs line show at New York Fashion Week.  Aren't they totally like a fashion forward update on the cult 1990s Travel Fox trainers sported by the likes of Neneh Cherry and that model who fronted Black Box but turned out to be miming? Knackered old Travel Fox pictured below or you can find fresher pics on Flickr here. What do you think?
