Creepers and Underground Shoes

From soldiers based in North Africa after WW2 to Teddy boys in the 50s, to Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood in the 70s, to punks in the 80s, to grungers in the 90s, to goths and rockers in the noughties and kwl peeps in 2012, creepers have been a must have.

Rihanna is a massive fan.

Rita Ora Roc's the life in hers.

Although lots of subcultures are into creepers it's grunge that leads the way in styling this trend.

Lua P takes it to another level.

Nicola Formichetti Nicopanda

He styles Gaga, he makes meat dresses, he discovered zombie boy and oh yeah his day job is wowing the world as Creative Director of Thierry Mugler.
He's Nicola Formichetti!

In 10 years he's gone from being a Junior Fashion Editor for Dazed & Confused to one of the world's most loved and influential designers. His Nicopanda range is a fun mix of high fashion meeting Hello Kitty style .

Nicola's first store opening in NYC last year was an immediate success and he has since opened a further 7 stores in Asia. London will have a store next year and so will Brazil.

Nicola being born in Tokyo and living there until aged 10 gives his Nicopanda range a genuine depth and personality that ties in with Hello Kitty's continuing world domination and the popularity of Japan's cute Kawaii subculture. 

Born to a Japanese mother and Italian father Nicola is now a citizen of the world, forever switching between New York, Japan  and Europe. This was the cute Hello Kitty/Nicopanda collab.



The cartoon aspect is similar to Jeremy Scott who shares the same fun attitude to fashion.

Lots of accessories as well as clothes to enjoy.
