Skip the little black number, go for big and colourful!

Ahh, relief: the high fashion peeps seem to remember that things done by hand and pièces uniques are so much more interesting than generic pieces. These dresses, made from silk that was painted by hand, are simply unforgettable. Dolce and Gabbana, with an ad campaign shot by Steven Klein.

Sandals from old jeans

Now here is a project I fully support! Softwalker, a company specialised in incredibly dull ergonomic footwear as worn mainly by nurses (the poor creatures - when is someone going to see that a LITTLE bit of a design would greatly improve these uniforms??) has seen the light: they turn your old jeans into nice quality sandals.

Not only you get nice sandals for summer, they are also unique because you forst had them around you ass until you grew too fat. Well, something like that. Maybe you just got bored with these old Levi's, or your mum threatened to throw away your favourite Diesels because they were showing just a bit too much skin. In any case, you now have the chance to turn them into cool quality sandals (yeah, boring they may be, but Softwalker does make quality stuff) and you do your bit for the environment by recycling. And if you're in the UK you're doing even more: since these sandals are made in the UK, you cut out the carbon emission of that 747 that would have to fly them over if they were made somewhere in Asia.

--> had a quick look at the Softwalker website, seems like they have a few more eco-friendly options, like hemp sandals. Eco-minded nurses, here's your chance to hug a tree! http://www.softwalker.co.uk/

Kipling and Fergie

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie joins Belgian bag brand Kipling for their ad campaign. Nice, practical, colourful - Kipling as we like it!

... besides, Kipling makes great vintage stuff because they are so trendy and colourful. The bags I got when I was 12 are even nicer now, 18 years later :)

intro

Kitan On Style - on here I will have my say on trends, on what I see in the streets, on what people around me wear or do not wear and whatever else catches my eye. I leave high fashion to those who are best at it, if there are bits I like i will mention them, but they'll be on an equal level as what I see in the streets.

Ain't that serious :)
