THE KEY TO GOOD STYLE<br />
Key pieces are the name of the game for the latest drop by<br />
Moochi. It first launched a series of trans-seasonal silhouettes in<br />
2016 and now presents a fresh edit that builds further on these<br />
wardrobe winners. In the classic monochromatic Moochi palette,<br />
it’s easy to see how well such pieces work together.<br />
VANS x VIVIENNE WESTWOOD<br />
Yes, it’s true: British fashion designer Vivienne<br />
Westwood has partnered with American shoe<br />
manufacturer and sports brand Vans to deliver<br />
some seriously cool kicks. The team have delved<br />
into the Westwood archive to retrieve prints<br />
and graphics for an overhaul of six classic Vans<br />
silhouettes. Our faves are the Sk8-Hi and Sk8-Hi<br />
Platform. The former is embossed with a letter<br />
‘sent’ from California to Vivienne Westwood’s<br />
flagship boutique at 44 Conduit Street, London,<br />
while the latter hi-top drew inspiration from<br />
Westwood’s Pirate boot of 1981.<br />
TWICE SHARED<br />
Renting clothing is no longer something to do with the<br />
bank balance declining your ‘need’ for a new outfit. No,<br />
today, it’s all about minimising the impact on the world<br />
and maximising the use of our best-loved threads. So,<br />
Christchurch is happy to welcome clothing marketplace<br />
Designer Wardrobe to Victoria Street. From here, more<br />
than 400 items can be rented, with labels including<br />
Camilla and Marc, Zimmermann, Bec & Bridge and<br />
more. Of course, if you have some fashionable wares<br />
tucked away at the back of your own wardrobe, you<br />
have the opportunity to become a lender or seller too.
