Right On – Worn Again

 

In an age where practically every product has some sort of question mark looming over it making the right choice is, by no means, easy. Still, little steps in the right direction. You could do worse than take those steps in a pair of Worn Again trainers. Not only do they look unique but are made from the likes of old prison blankets, ex-military parachutes and retired suits. Talk about shoes loaded with character. Also available right now is the Bigger Shoe, a very limited edition trainer made in celebration of The Big Issue’s 15th anniversary. The Bigger Shoe’s recycled fabric of choice? Firemen’s uniforms – for shoe that’s seen lashings of action. www.wornagain.co.uk

 

 

Nick Knight’s Stylish Tribute

 

Photographer Nick Knight is the eye behind the lens of many an iconic fashion photograph. From edgy i-D to the super gloss of Vogue, Knight’s blend of innovative ideas and striking compositions has taken him to the top of his game. Not going unnoticed Moet & Chandon recently dedicated their 2006 fashion tribute to the prolific image creator who has totted up 25+ years in the business. To mark the occasion Knight put on a spectacular masked ball and invited the likes of Alexander McQueen, Kate Moss, Scarlett Johansson, Jerry Hall, Ozwald Boateng and many others who have worked with him throughout his career. Party shenanigans could be viewed by all and sundry live and online at SHOWstudio.com. Held at Strawberry Hill gothic revival villa the night has been cited as the most glamorous fashion soiree of 2006.
