Intentional Clashing: The Summer Edition Look Book
Intentional Clashing. The High Summer Edition. (Not really a story but a selection of ideas and thoughts we were writing about in the making of these new shoes). Sometimes we think of our collections like Jazz. Cool modern UK inspired Jazz. Unpredictable and in all directions but always cool. Go-to shoes you want to wear every-other-day cool. Sometimes we think of our accessories as communication tools. They are always saying something about where we want to be in the world. About how we identify with life. Our garments are a shortcut to what we really want to say. To individualise. To be creative and expressive. But always, to be practical and useful. Photos by Ben Sullivan, Styling Imogen Wilson, Make Up Corinna Wilmhurst, Talent Astrid at Priscilla's. Lets talk about THE FLEX >> We are deeply into the idea of the hybrid-shoe. Something to wear everywhere but still feel sharp. The Flex was conceived like this. Errand shoes. Visiting friends’ shoes. Park walk shoes. Chasing after children shoes. Dog walking, market hopping, post office visiting, que standing. A shoe designed for easy slip-on sunny days. For optimism and energy. Conceived as an alternative to trainers. For those times you need closed toe summer situations. We made them in the colour of the earth and the colour of the sky in celebration of the summer - our favourite time of year. Our new Flex neoprene slip on in Bronze. Our Flex Neoprene Slip On Bronze, best friends with our Rainbow Tote. Why did we make these shoes? Shoes for IRL situation. 3km a day on your feet shoes. The midsole has been stitched using what is known as a ‘strobel’ technique which means a stitch is applied around the entire sole edge. This not only adds extra flex and comfort to the shoe, but also gives them a longer lifespan. Commute shoes with a point of view, a more examined life shoes. Shoes born of functionality versus 'a look'. Let’s talk about NEPTUNE NEW COLOURS >> Bronze was an exploration in new outsole colours. A 2-stacked biscuit-latte situation that speaks to more neutral dressing situations. Accented out with highlight dye-to-match lime green buckles for an extra hit of radical sunshine pop. Like icy-poles on a sunny day we choose these buckles to make you smile. Apple-Green inspiration was our summer alternative to black. Candy coloured inspiration in the form of salads, apples and freshness. All the green geatness. Green smoothies. Green energy. Green grass of summer. Accented by chalk buckles for grounding and purifying. Shoes colours like cleanser. Neptune Athletic Sandal in Bronze with biscuit/latte stacked sole (Yum!) NEPTUNE: Walking sandals. Hiking sandals. Wandering around sandals. Dreaming sandals. Summer holiday sandals. Adjustable sandals. Highly wearable sandals. Neptune Athletic Sandal in the new Apple Green We are disciplined in our process to make sure what we put forward is the best edit of flat shoe liberation perfection that will bring you nothing but good time shoe joy.

Radical Yes x Collective Closets Video Look Book
Radical Yes x Collective Closets Collaboration We’re all about the value of the sisterhood. As women-led businesses with women-led principles, we understand that empowerment is only possible if we choose to lift each other up. This collaboration embodies exactly that – a collective consciousness and authentic sisterhood, built on our values and our terms. This collaboration is a celebration of the power and strength that comes with being unified as women. Surrounding ourselves with strong women, supporting small businesses run by your fellow sisters. Together, we’ve made your new everyday essential – designed in space, made on earth. A trusty over-the-shoulder-and-go bag in the signature Radical Yes design, with a little Collective Closets flair. This fabric comes from Ruiru, a community just north of Kenya’s capital that has been carefully weaving the shuka cloth since 1979. Adorning the shoulders of the Masai tribe for generations, the vibrant colours signify bravery, strength and unity. Watch the video look book here...

How to wear flats and get the same sharp feeling you get from heels.
While they do have the potential to hurt your lower back or hinder your stride, we cannot deny there is an allusive and powerful quality to heeled shoes, but one that we also genuinely believe can be mined from the right selection of flat shoes in your wardrobe.
