London’s Dover Street Market have seen a few new items hit their e-shop, ready and waiting for fanatic online spenders to flex their plastic on.

Some of the things you can expect to see are scents by Artek STANDARD, Daphne and DSM’s own scent which is described as “an unusually modern construction of a classic woody fragrance”, London based Luxury luggage brand H by Harris’ quilted styles are featured, including laptop, backpack and clutch designs and the highly anticipated Play x Converse collaboration is also new to the DSM shop, with their more simplistic spin on the classic Chuck Taylor shoe.

My favourite addition would have to be the The Inoue Brothers collection, which features denim, button up shirts, crewnecks and tee’s featuring photos and quotes taken from Gray band member Nick Taylor’s diary.

Prom Pics At Tux With Chucks Prom

I haven’t worn a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors since I was in 5th grade, and used to trade one of my purple shoes with my friend for her pink one so we could be like Punky Brewster. But this weekend I found a great excuse to pick up a pair of sequined Chucks that I’ve kind of had my eye on for a while. I was invited by my friend Jed at Converse to step out to the Tux With Chucks Prom on Friday night at Studio B. Along with a few of our good friends, including artist Michael Schall who designed the 100 Pipes Chuck Taylors for the Converse 1HUND(RED) artists series this year, and Brian Carr, of New Jersey based t-shirt line Solid Threads, we laced up our Cons, got fresh dressed like a million bucks, took some kooky prom pictures and got down to the tunes all night.

Studio B was decorated with balloons, streamers, and adolescent-style hand made banners to give just the right touch of high school steez to accompany the raging tunes from the bands Crocodiles and The Japanese Motors. Finger On The Pulse DJs with Matty Royal provided tunes ranging from good old motown jams to 80’s new wave, recent house jams and Baltimore Club. The youthful prom goers came through in outfits varying from totally decked out with ruffles, frills, corsages, cummerbunds, vests and bow ties, to plain party casual and lined up in droves to take digital prom pictures provided by Death + Taxes Magazine. I stayed true to my actual black and shiny senior prom aesthetic from ages ago and  paired my new sequined black on black high top Chucks with an awesome vintage dress I picked up a couple of months back at a thrift store, a black elastic and patent leather belt to cinch it just right, a frilly red tulle slip from Patricia Field to give that baby some big prom volume,  and a silver bow tie for my hair.

After bouncing around on the dancefloor for a couple of hours with my friends and Jelly NYC’s Sarah Hooper, the only thing I felt the party was missing were some slow jams. But considering I came without a date, I guess I got off easy, since I had no desire to cuddle up to this dude who aggressively jumped into one of my prom portraits, called himself “Wheels”  and alternately tried to make out with me, lick my neck, and invite me out for ice cream. Wheels, if you’re out there reading this, the answer to all of your questions is still no.

Tux With Chucks Prom

Sorry this is late New Yorkers, but there is still some time to get down to Urban Outfitters and pick up a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors, and recieve two free tickets to the Tux With Chucks Prom at Studio B in Greenpoint on Friday night.  Every high school had one kid who came to the prom in sneakers. If it wasn’t you then, it can be you now.

I know a lot of us are all about rockin’ dude-shoes, so I thought I’d post about the long awaited Bodega x Converse Jack Purcell collabo. It’ll be dropping at ACU (Shanghai), Wood Wood (Copenhagen) and Bodega (Boston) on Saturday November 17, 2007. Besides the shoes being cozy-fresh, how dope is this packaging?! Beef Jerky, say whaaat?! Genius!Check the shoes after the jump! Read the full story
