mugler x underground SS12

You know how it is when you have that funny feeling that you know you have forgotten to do something but cant remember what it is . Well when I posted about mugler x underground for this season I had one of those funny feelings that I had forgotten to do something- That was it  i forgot to post about mugler x underground for SS 12  – well better late than never and I guess you dont need to wait so long for them to be in store. You will be able to catch them at Oki ni in the UK, IT in Hong Kong, Mid West in Tokyo and Joyce in Beijing and Shanghai amongst others.

Jessie J’s Velvet Crush

Now aren’t they just so cool- JJ in red velvet creepers and dip dye hair to match. These limited edition Underground Creepers are available exclusively at Topshop .Me ?- I am eyeing up the black velvet ones .

Pantone Riot

We knew the late British summer was too good to last and Winter is bearing down on us, so lets brighten up those darker days with a colour riot.

These creepers are exclusives, available for a limited time only; if you want a pair you’d better move fast. You can find them at our cyber shop:

Creeper Fashion Week

As the Fashion Week road show headed into town we guessed there might be a few Underground Creepers down at Somerset House – we snapped a few of the creeper wearers that were out and about during LFW. You can also find a few snaps on Instyle:

Rihanna Gets Creeper Fever

I was just on my back from Paris Fashion week  and found this picture of Rihanna wearing a pair of original Underground creepers in the french magasine: ‘Closer’ – they look so awesome  on her I want a pair!

The Vaccines – all in white tribute

I think The vaccines are awesome and they’ve just been nominated for Best New Act at the Q awards. For those of you that don’t know them, you should check them out on their website:

You can imagine that when I saw the latest edition of Elle with this photo I could only think of one thing – The Vaccines ‘all in white‘!

Original Creepers by Underground-Get the knowledge

Some e mails end up in my box from up and coming creeper wearers that are new to the game and need some more info about these shoes.  Owning a few pairs of Underground Creepers myself  I am a bit of an Underground patriot but thought it might be good to share the knowledge. I know my creeper stuff but for those of you that might want to join me on the higher plain of learning here is a helpful anatomy of the shoe. I get to see a few imitations around that are trying to slip onto unsuspecting feet ,so print out this handy anatomy and you  will have a check list when you creeper for the first time ; )

Summertime Creepers

Now here is something different and very limited availability. I  borrowed a pair from our sales samples (sssshh ) and they are sort of cute. There are a few colour options and they just give another option on the creeper look.  At the moment they are only available at the online store (and a pair in my office !)

Underground Exclusives at ASOS

The eagerly awaited Underground exclusives are up and running at ASOS from today. pop down to www.asos.com for a look at some of the exclusives including the Bowie boot in black and white leather along with some of the other classic Underground creepers including Wulfrun in a range of colours. I had a call from the guys in sales this morning  and they reckon that these are going to be sold out pretty quick so grab your trolley and burn some rubber !!!.

She Wore Blue Velvet

I knew there was a song by that name and checked it out- apparently a hit for Tony Bennett and then a number one for Bobby Vinton. The song was the inspiration for the cult movie by the same name (1986) directed by David Lynch and a breakthrough role for Dennis Hopper.

Now appearing in a gentler role  as a pair of shoes by way of Underground creepers. The thing about these is that they are spectacularly limited in their availability- you can get them only from Topshop on Oxford Circus inLondonor online. The other thing I like about them is that the velvet is on trend but it also a wink in the direction of the Velvet drape jackets that are synonymous with the Teddy Boys who started the whole thing going back in the fifties. So here you go limited availability, on trend velvet and a dash of 50’s for good measure.
