Chuck Taylor Archives - Trends SettersTrends Setters

Made By You, is the name of the latest Converse spring 2015 campaign. Who doesn’t own a pair of Chuck Taylor from the iconic brand, right? Everyone has a story whit that shoe, either from your last summer festival with mud still on them, which makes you remember that day, or even your Prom night!!

Can you believe that this shoe exist for almost 100 years? Since 1917, Converse makes the perfect casual shoes that you can wear with literally everything!!! I own 9 pairs of Converse, crazy right, and I love them all. My favourite pair is the one you can see in the picture above, it’s a collab with Maison Margiela. This photo gas been shot during the event, to re-create the Made By You campaign pictures, cool right?

I went to the Made By You spring 2015 launch last week, and Karim and I have been lucky enough to get a pair of custom Chuck Taylor. We designed a logo inside our Chuck’s and our name have been added too, so cool. I will never wear that pair of shoes in a crowed house party haha!!

You can share your picture of your favourite chuck on Instagram using this hashtag: #MadeByYou and you can shop the Spring 2015 line at Little-Burgundy! Have fun and share!!

Yes, I’m one of the lucky girls who got a chance to get a pair of the Converse X Maison Martin Margiela. At first, when I received them, I was tempted to keep them in their box, has they are such a piece of art. But when I tried them on, forget it, they are too cool to keep them in a box!!

Mine will be blue when the paint will crack because that’s the fun of them. You can choose from four colors; yellow, blue, red and black. When the shoes will age, the paint will crack and reveal their colors and personality beneath it. So cool right!?

For this first collaboration with the avant-garde French fashion house, Converse made two silhouettes, the Classic Chuck Taylor Hi All Star and a low Jack Pursell. All of them are hand-painted with the Iconic white paint from the Maison Martin Margiela Fashion House.

The limited edition collaboration is available only at certain retailers, you have to act fast because hey will sell fast!!
