The first release in a series of highly limited collaborations with master-shoemaker Tricker’s. Our design debut entitled 'The Unusual Suspects" is a subtle, slimmed down reworking of the classic long wing Richard brogue and the ever-popular Bourton brogue. Each style has been given a unique character and name pertaining to each material used, for instance the “Habana” Longwing pays homage to all things Cuban (minus the ridiculous heel) constructed from rich Cuba waxed suede uppers and subtle brogue detailing. The shoe is finished off with a Barbour Welted Danite sole for added durability.

The “Aristocrat” Longwing pays homage to sartorial function and English eccentricity. Reworking the classic Richard Long Wing with a slimmed down contemporary fit they are hand made using the finest Naster Burnished calfskin and feature a bold contemporary twist in the form of a vibrant orange Itshide sole.
The “Artiste” Bourton Derby Brogue takes an obscure reference from the Sienna clay used in the production of oil paint pigments and is crafted from textured Sienna scotch grain leather and contrasting Dainite sole.

The “Highland Fox” Bourton Derby Brogue pays homage to the elusive fox of the Outer Hebrides seen here in rich coppery brown Reppelo suede. Courtesy of the CNCPT design team the highly limited styles are presented in a typically premium fashion with a printed leather insole.

It was the US TV event of the year and our home grown girl, Cat Deeley, stole the show on the red carpet at the 2013 Critic's Choice Television Awards, held at the Beverley Hilton Hotel on Monday evening. Anyone who was anyone was in attendance but gold goddess Deeley radiated beauty in a spectacular glimmering Monique Lhuillier gown. The embellished peplum gold gown is truly amazing, the round neck and slight cap sleeves give this sensual fitted gown a classic touch whilst the sequin embroidered detailing add a dramatic twist. Showing just how far she has come since her SMTV days with Ant and Dec, the British TV presenter showcased an enviable figure in the intricately beaded floor sweeping design. Her Pantene caressed wavy locks were worn down and a simple clutch and orange lips finished the dazzling look. This gown nods to old fashioned Hollywood glamour and oozes sophisticated sex appeal, a timeless wardrobe investment for your evening occasion.

‘Pixels and Polaroids’ is the title of a new photographic project by Oakland, California-based photographer and graphic designer Jherin Miller. The concept behind his project was to merge the worlds of pseudo-Polaroid photography and retro ’80s-era video game graphics. By blending the two, Miller has created a world where pixelated characters interact in footage of the real world through a hazy, vintage filter.

Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent, known as Yves Saint Laurent, is regarded as one of the greatest names in fashion history. He founded the luxury fashion house Saint Larent Paris in conjunction with his partner Pierre Berge. In 1985, Caroline Rennolds Milbank wrote, "The most consistently celebrated and influencial designer of the past twenty-five years, Yves Saint laurent can be credited with both spurring the couture's rise from its sixties ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable". He is also credited with having introduced the tuxedo suit for women and known for his use of non-European cultural references, and non-white models.

In 1957, Saint Laurent found himself at the age of 21, the head designer of the House of Christian Dior. His Spring 1958 collection almost certainly saved the enterprise from financial ruin, the straight line of his creations, a softer version of Dior's new look, catapulted him to international stardom with what would later be known as the 'trapeze dress'. Others included in the collection were dresses with narrower shoulders and flared gently at the bottom. At this time he shortened his surname to Saint Laurent because the international press found his hyphenated triple name difficult to spell.
He was the first French couturier to come out with a full pret-a-porter line. The first of the company's Rive Gauche stores, which sold the ready-to-wear line, opened on the Rue De Tournon in Paris on 26th September 1966. The premier was attended by Yves Saint Laurent and the first customer was Catherine Deneuve.

In 2012, PPR announced that Hedi Slimane would replace Stefano Pilati at the helm of the brand, Pilati succeeded Saint Laurent when he retired from the fashion world. With cult designer Slimane now taking the creative lead, French superbrand Saint Laurent has set out to return to its original essence as he reinterprets the house's luxuriously elegant DNA with a pure new attitude.
