Isabel Marant’s Bekket sneakers – the kick to launch a thousand kicks
This is the bit where all lovers of fashion (us) get to laugh openly in the faces of those who don’t (them). You, a possessor of taste, can stop them in the midst of their eye rolling, snickering, “Why would you wear THAT, how impractical!” lectures with a swift kick in the face. Or kicks to the face* - because thanks in large part to one Isabel Marant, and in another part to the carousel of never-ending nineties nostalgia that fashion has been riding for the past year or two: sneakers are back with a vengeance.

There’s only a week until you have to prove how much you love your mum the best way possible: with material goods! (Psst… Mother’s Day is Sunday May 13). That’s right, nothing says: “thanks for everything, especially that whole nurturing and breathing life into me thing” than piles of gifts with shiny bows. At least that’s what my mum told me last week when she also told us in no uncertain terms that we wouldn’t get away without a Mother’s Day gift just because she’s flying out to Japan the day before (ahem) I LOVE YOU, MUM DON’T READ THAT SENTENCE UP THERE OH DEAR IT’S TOO LATE.
