Even though the weather is still kind of miserable, we’ve already started our spring shopping lists. Here’s what we’re all craving if warmer weather ever happens. Fingers crossed.

Watch: A Young, Blonde Lana Del Rey Designed Some Custom Keds in 2009 and Made a Video About It

Mulberry may have been the first high-end brand to cash in on Lana Del Rey’s sultry signature style, but it turns out that getting a $1,000+ namesake bag wasn’t the crooner’s first collaboration. A video from 2009 has recently surfaced of a young and much-less-polished looking LDR, hawking some customized sneakers she designed for Keds Read more →

Classic Sneaker Brands Get a Fashion Makeover: Here are 7 Cute New Collabs to Shop Now

Sneakers are having a moment–and not just in wedge form. Classic sneaker brands like Keds, Bensimon, Nike and others are infiltrating the fashion world via collaborations with hip designers, brands, retailers and people.

These collabs have succeeded in doing what collaborations do best–bringing a little more relevance to brands who’ve been around for a while and in many cases opening them up to new audiences. Just yesterday, PF Flyers launched the latest video in their Authentic American Style series, in which NYC fashiony photographer/it girl Rachel Chandler talks about her style and shows us how cool she looks in shoes from the heritage athletic footwear brand, which has been around since the ’30s. The day before that, J. Crew and Madewell debuted their latest casual sneaker collabs with Soludos and Bensimon, respectively, in cute, springy colors.

Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia and Google Buzz Coming to A Sneaker Near You
Fashion Is Fun

Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia and Google Buzz Coming to A Sneaker Near You

In this day and age, everyone can probably admit to being just a wee bit addicted to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. (Go on, you can admit it. This is a safe space.) So it’s only natural that our internet obsessions would find their way into our wardrobes one day.

And friends, that day is today. Copyranter found these genius social-media-themed Keds, designed by graphic designer Lumen Bigott. Biggot created four styles designed to rep our favorite social mediate sites: Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia and Google Buzz, and they are amazing.

Sadly they are still concept-only and have no prospect of going into production. But we have faith that will change soon (pretty, please?), because c’mon, who wouldn’t want to wear a Facebook friend request on their feet all day!?

So Keds, we hope you’re listening. You need to get on this shit already!

Fashion News Roundup: Madonna Can’t Borrow Lanvin for H&M, Zac Posen Will Design Bella Swan’s Wedding Dress and Karen Elson Cops to Copying Christina Hendricks’ Hair

Keds Goes Back to The 90s: Keds has released a limited edition collection of sneakers called “Alternative to Everything.” We’re absolutely smitten with these 90s-inspired sneakers, which come in acid wash blue, gray denim and red plaid. {Refinery 29}

Copied Dye Job: Christina Hendricks told Harper’s Bazaar that way back when she was a model, she told Karen Elson that she should be a red head and gave Elson her formula. Now Elson’s confessed that Hendrick’s did, in fact, inspire her to go red. {The Cut}

Lanvin x H&M Drama: When Jennifer Lopez and Madonna both asked to “borrow” (i.e. have it before anyone else) pieces from the Lanvin x H&M collection, they were told that no one was allowed to wear the collection before the runway show on November 18. If this is true, then why were a few British celebs pictured wearing pieces from the collection at London’s Lanvin preview? Sure, Roisin Murphy and Sohpie Ellis-Bextor are celebs, but they’re no Madonna. What gives? {Elle}

Calling All (Dainty) Sneakerheads

Gap is the latest brand to collaborate with Keds, and their adorable line of bold colored sneakers are in stores now (we’re loving the denim pair). Sneakerheads are usually dudes, but we noticed that there seems to be a glut of cute girly sneakers out there. I’m wedded to my Bensimons. Lauren loves her Keds.

We narrowed down the growing girly sneaker market to a few of our faves. Which pair would you rock?

Our Latest Obsession: Ikat Print

Though the tribal print trend seems to be heading out the door, there is something so cute and chic about the ikat print specifically that makes us want to wear it in as many ways as possible. It’s been on a few runways recently, including as Dries Van Noten, Gucci, Marc and Balenciaga. Our love for ikat blossomed even more yesterday when we checked out Cynthia Vincent’s upcoming Resort 2011 accessories collection, which was full of the colorful print. See above for our inspiration and click through for some more accessible examples that you can buy right now.

Steven Alan x Keds Make My Day

I kind of love Steven Alan everything. And I kind of love canvas tennis shoes, particularly Converse, TOMS and most of all, Keds. So I was elated to find a pair of slip-on Keds–in Steven Alan’s ikat print, no less–on a page in May’s Vogue Index. The shoes, which hit Steven Alan stores–as well as Read more →
