Prada Brights!

2011-01-08T18:56:00.003Z

Prada delivered electric hits of orange, green, blue, and radioactive violet in deliberately plain cotton suits, like the most (extra)ordinary uniforms. That theme continued in all the stripes. Prisoner, postman, sailor, orderly: The uniforms might have taken a cue from her last—equally special—men's collection, but they were also an evolution of Fall's spectacularly womanly shapes. This time around, however, the glamour was raw, amplified by the pop-colored stoles the models were toting, the graphic silent-movie makeup by Pat McGrath, and the severely sensual outfits in basic black that closed the show as the soundtrack crackled with the static of an old tango record. Miuccia's message was crystal-clear. As she said backstage, banana earrings vibrating: "It's time to be bold." And that's one maxim that, with any luck, will rub off on the world at large......our first drop of brights.

PICK YOUR AVIATOR FANTASY

2010-10-19T15:45:00.017+01:00

The image burnt in our minds of Douglas MacArthur, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen or even Axl Rose and Slash would not be what it is today without them sporting a pair of aviators. Aviators are the enduring ocular accessories that shout American machismo.

The persistence of aviator glasses since their debut in the 1930s, owes much to two things: function and flair, says James J. Spina, editor in chief of 20/20, a trade magazine for the optical industry. "Everything goes in cycles, but aviator glasses are typically so well made and have such a classic shape that they always come back. Fleeting fashion can't keep a good trend down. Come in and see what we've got - Porsche Carrera, Rayban's, Persol and more sexy Italian shades.

PUSSY BOW'S FOREVER

The French Workjacket

2010-06-14T22:28:00.004+01:00

Utility or work ware in fashion was first pioneered by our very own Margaret Howell in the seventies 70s taking inspiration from vintage shirts from the 40s.
The tailoring was designed to be able to move, work, sweat, retain items in the pockets and most important sustain many washes {put through the ringer!!}

In the last decade the Japanese have taken the reins after their obsession with vintage denim {american work-ware} a natural progression onto European utility clothing, we owe them the current trend of the French "Railroad Jackets". The three pockets on the outside and the one on the inside, double stitched seems and heavy duty sanforized denim/cotton.
A great stable in the wardrobe and now getting very popular with the girls, keep an eye out for the moleskin version (indestructible!!!) expensive versions also available from Acne,nonnative, post, engineered garments, old town clothing, albam....

Just get the original @ Mint, Monty Don did !

History of the jumpsuit

2010-01-08T21:42:00.014Z

We at MINT love the jumpsuit and will make sure it is a staple piece in this seasons wardrobe...

It was born from workwear in the 50's when icon Rosie Riviter, symbol of the working women during the war wore it with her polkadot headband.

Later in the early 60's designers like Rudi Gernreich, YSL, and Norma Kamali brought it into the world of fashion. Music icons like Elvis, David Bowie, Diana Ross all wore it well, while Karen O, Lovefoxx, MIA, and Kylie Minouge keeps it current.

The jumpsuit is an item of the 20th century, and also a symbol of science fiction ever since man landed on the moon, but also by classic movies and outfits in Star Trek and Star Wars.
My absolute favorites this seasons is by Lanvin. Absolutely amazing and pretty difficult for high street to copy...haha ... Enjoy...

2009-08-19T16:45:00.009+01:00

James has for the last couple of months worked with ASOS.com on putting handpicked specialist pieces together for their site. He has focused on collectables as well as on trend pieces, all in perfect mint condition, with characteristic details.
The online retail game is something completely new for us and it's been a very exciting and interesting process.
ASOS is the leading online fashion retailer in the UK. Their mix of high street, high end, and independent labels is wider and better than any shoppingarea in London, so no wonder vintage had to have a place there too.

These are a few of the pieces, but have a look and tell us what you think...

Returned to London after an unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the holidays in France. Managed to clear it all up and under the circumstances we had a happy hunt.

My favorite pieces, new in the shop are the woman's blouses. We found some stunning 50's to 80's lace pieces (very new romantics) and very cool 80's geometric pieces. Also for women we got interesting wool, mohair and lurex cardigans, duffel coats, dresses and ankle boots.

For men we found candy striped shirts, denim shirts all with different detailing, duffelcoats, fitted 60's blazers, Norwegian, ethnic and Breton knitted jumpers, shoes and the forever staple checked and floral button down shirt.

If your wondering were you get an E this big?
The E in our window was at the top of Arndale Center in Manchester for 30 years. There is a sense of irony that it was put up there to look down over the city through all of the Acid House/rave period.
It is is one big E...

Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2010

2009-07-03T21:26:00.005+01:00

I have always been a big fan of Dries Van Noten . And this collection, when Tokyo meets Calcutta has a new diffrent feel to it. Batik and mosaic prints meets nylon fabrics and modern cuts. It feels new and exiting, contrast and clash is key and I really do love it all, have a look.

A quiet weekend included watching the satirical black comedy Prêt-à-Porter. This 90's fashion movie directed by Robert Altman, starring Kim Basinger, Sophia Loren, Tim Robins, and Julia Roberts is set at Paris during the Redy to Wear fashion shows. The outfits are striking with that 90's feel to it .. Also it rumors to be a remake on the way...
