With regards to trends, you'll love the polka-dot print, feminised menswear models, lace-up boots, and charming t-straps. Chie Mihara knows how to expertly combine materials and colours , especially soft suedes and shiny leathers along with eye-catching colours and soft tones.

The collection speaks for itself. Fans of the brand will love them, and newcomers can only fall in love with the brand's latest collection.

Little Mary for your little ones....

Princes and princesses also have the right to fashion! Fashion that not only resembles them, but that also helps them start life off on the right foot. Sweetly fresh and creative fashion. 

Among the brands that have dedicated their expertise and experience to shoes for little feet, you have Little Mary! The company was founded in February 1947 under the guidance of Mrs. Barbault and, from the first day, was dedicated exclusively to children. The manufacturing was based in Cholet, France, in the heart of the Maine and Loire department, and first counted only 20 employees.

In 1964, the factory took on an industrial dimension to keep in step with the company's growth and development. As comfort is a priority of Little Mary, they also favour creativity and have a design studio that searches for creative and personalised touches to make each model unique. Little Mary makes it their priority to keep little kids happy and reassure their parents.

M+F Girbaud: Get ready for denim style!

Creative, unique, and trendy, Marithé & François Girbaud has become a reference in the fashion world. They owe their success to the creativity of their famous designers, who never stop developing new concepts.

Created in the '60s by a duo of designers, Marithé & François Girbaud used a washing procedure that allowed them to create a used or aged effect on all textile types. The success was almost immediate and when one of their models appeared in the '80's film Flashdance, and they gained more influence and entrenched themselves deeper in the fashion industry. Since then, the brand has continued to create new technologies - always proposing innovative collections at the height of fashion.

Iron Fist: Punk Shoes

A real melting pot of streetwear culture: That's how you could describe the brand Iron Fist. Combining both skate fashion and surfwear trends, while drawing inspiration from the punk and goth movements, the brand designs clothing and shoes with character!

The brand was launched in San Diego, California, in 2001 by two friends, from South Africa. Mike and Travis wanted to design unique items with a rebellious spirit that couldn't be found anywhere else. Using the boot of their car as their first boutique, without a strategy and with a tiny budget, they designed models in an arty and creative style with an "underground" touch.

Each shoe stands out with an explosion of colours that combines the arts of tattooing, graffiti, manga, and even comics from the '70s. It's only fitting that the brand takes their name from a famous comic boot character, Iron Fist.

Don't wait another minute: add a creative touch to your wardrobe!

Thuong Dinh, the Vietnamese trainer!

Thuong-Dinh.jpg

Thuong Dinh is the latest brand of trainers to hit the market. However, they weren't just created yesterday, as their history is firmly anchored in that of Vietnam since 1957.

Originally, the brand was the official army supplier. Situated just outside of Hanoi, they were even bombarded by the American B-52's during the war. The factory workers came together to participate in their city's defence, creating trenches and designing an anti-aerial shield in the heart of the factory. In 1961, the brand designed their first trainers, which at the time were designed for badminton and Plumfoot, a local sport played with a shuttlecock and often host to acrobatic movements. 

Today, it's fashion fans who can't get enough of Thuong Dinh shoes!

Fashion Against AIDS

When it comes to fighting for a good cause, H&M goes all out. After their many collaborations with famous high-fashion designers and stars of the international music scene, the ready-to-wear brand has launched a mini-collection with 25% of the profits going  to finance projects that teach young adults about the risks of HIV.  


Within the program "Designers Against Aids", H&M has designed a line of bohemian clothing that goes perfectly with the summer's festival trend. For inspiration, you'll find rock and roll, the 70s, ethnicity, and glamour. Trends which are regularly in the spotlight thanks to it-girls such as Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof, and which are appearing more and more often on the runways and  in design houses.

H_M_AIDS_2.jpg

By focusing on the younger generation, the brand hopes to bring together as many people as possible in the fight against AIDS, while simultaneously collecting enough money to participate in the creation of an ever larger educative project. The result is fresh, light, and full of character, with raw and fluid materials in tangy colours with psychedelic accents to reinforce their audacious cuts and designs.

And to take the trend even further, H&M has designed sleeping bags, tents, and camping chairs to complete your festival kit!
