Zoe Hancock X COW Collaboration

We have been massive fans of Fashion Stylist - Zoe Hancock for ages now and always look forward to seeing her latest work. She has had work published in magazines such as Material Girl and Noctis, As You Are and Haunt to name a few, we reckon she is going to do very well. With exciting themes, gorgeous use of textures and colour, creating her own sets and having great eye for the newest models each story she produces is a pleasure!

We were delighted to loan Zoe some pieces from COW for her latest Film Noir style shoot and it all looks gorgeous.. we love the narration throughout. So cute! x

Thanks Zoe and we look forward to working together more in the future!

Get The Look - Chelsea Leyland

Fashion Party goer, Celebrity DJ and all round 'IT' girl Chelsea Leyland is our Get The Look inspiration this week. Surrounded by our other favourite celebs and best friends with Alice Dellal you can't really go wrong at acquiring a cool style. We love how Chelsea's look is predominantly effortless cool with loose fitting vintage tees, hot pants and leather jackets but when she attends premiers and parties she also looks comfortable in a girly dress or trouser suit. So she can pretty much pull anything off..

Here are some of our favourite pieces from the website that we think would easily fit into Chelsea Leyland's wardrobe from COW Vintage.  

Shop the Look from the links below:

Cream Lace Blouse - £20

Levi's Denim Jacket - £45

Leather Shorts - £32

Tom J Newell Exhibition

If you are ever around Sheffield, London, Nottingham, Manchester, Leicester and many other areas around the UK and Ireland you may have bumped into some of Tom J Newell's artwork at some point.

He does get around and to say he began his Illustration career by drawing up gig posters for his old band and finished his first Comic from his bedroom. We think he is doing pretty well with a growing fan base and work produced for magazines such as Dazed and Confused and Juke, as well as continuously completing commissions for record covers, posters, prints, t-shirts, books, tattoo designs and just about everything else you need drawing up.

This Thursday 6th June Tom J Newell will be showing a selection of his work for an Exhibition at The Old Sweet Shop. Filling both rooms with a collection of previous work along with a group of brand new original drawings from the on-going project to illustrate the '72 Spirits of Solomon'. Tom has done a new print with the help of  Dan 'Phlegm' at Dan's home print studio available to buy at the event. With sponsorship from Kraken Rum and an after party at The Broadfield pub with Tom himself DJ'ing as well as his other favourites it should be a great evening.

Find out more information on the event at The Old Sweet Shop's Facebook page here.

We will make sure COW Sheffield are going down to support this and maybe pick up some original drawings for ourselves! Make sure you don't miss out..

Meet The Team! Roxanne Hudson

At COW we don't ask our staff to wear certain things, there is no uniform and people can pretty much do as they please where style is concerned. Thankfully we have a good bunch of people who love COW Vintage because they can take pieces from different eras to create their own style.

Today we talk to Roxy, our almost brand new Supervisor at our Nottingham store.. She shows us though her wardrobe and let's us know what she couldn't live without!

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

Roxanne Hudson - Supervisor at Cow Nottingham

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

That's a hard one because my style and taste changes from day to day depending on my mood but I guess one word that will always fit would be grunge. I love grunging up girly things.

WHERE DO YOU FIND MOST OF YOUR CLOTHES?

I always find the best stuff in those shops you see around town that sell (and you will laugh) what I call 'stripper clothes'. I always get great stuff like mesh and netted tops at the cheapest pirices. Other than that H&M, COW and other vintage shops mostly.

WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR INSPIRATION?

My inspiration comes from street style. I love it when I spot people in the street wearing something I love. My biggest idol inspiration is a blogger named Luanna Perez. 

YOU HAVE GAINED A LOT OF FOLLOWERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS.. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE SO INTERESTED IN YOUR OUTFITS?

I'm not actually sure, I used to feel silly posting my outfits but people on instagram are so complimentary. I think it's just I wear what I like and don't really follow trends, it makes it more fun seeing something different maybe? I'm really not sure though.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING TO DO ON YOUR DAYS OFF?

Usually al my days off involve me travelling to different cities either getting tattooed or going to my favourite gigs, like on the 5th June I am going to London to see my ultimate favourite band City and Colour. I am super excited about that!

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR THIS SUMMER TO UPDATE OUR WARDROBES?

Dungarees!! Who doesn't love dungarees? 

CHOOSE 3 THINGS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT FROM YOUR WARDROBE?

Dungarees, my Aggy Strap Dr Martens boots and it isn't really my wardrobe but a lipstick. I always carry at least 3 colours with me, it can completely change your outfit.

AND FINALLY... WHAT IS IT YOU LIKE ABOUT COW?

Can EVERYTHING be my answer? Great place to work, beautiful one off pieces to get your hands on and all at such good prices too!

Wow, Thanks for that Rox!!

Go straight to  WWW.WEARECOW.COM to start creating your own looks!!

DOT TO DOT 2013

So as well as the kind people at Dot to Dot giving us some festival tickets giveaway we got a press pass for D2D Manchester!  So we gave our resident WE ARE COW photographer Richard a chance to go along and document the evening! Here is what he got up to and a few bands for you to check out if you havent already!

(Just click the band names for links to their sites!)

SKATERS

First up was up and coming SKATERS a 5 piece, skuzzy punk rock band from NYC who ironically dont skate. It was fairly early on in the day so the crowd wasn't booming but this didn't dampen the boys sprits who jumped around the stage with their snap backs and military jackets.

For fans of: Splashh / Strokes / Drowners

The 1975

Manchester born lads who have just been touring with Muse, playing to 40,000 people and they don't even have an album out yet. WTF. They have risen to stardom in what seems like a matter of minutes, with their catchy indie pop rock tracks and erm well... Hair. 
The girls love them and the boys wanna be them, We love it.

For fans of: Little Comets / Foals / Vampire Weekend

Dan Croll

Singer song writer Dan Croll was a great little surprise for me, I had only heard a couple of songs but he and his band really encapsulated me. Good feel vibes all round 
his new single 'Compliment Your Soul' is a definite summer hit! 

For fans of : Prince / Beirut 

MØ

The Danish version of Grimes mixed with Lana Del Rey is what I would label her as. I went to see her at Live at Leeds earlier in May, she was super energetic and had an abundance of stage presence. Definitely something to watch for the future.  

For fans of: Grimes / Lana del Ray

PINS

PINS are an all girl dark group from Manchester these ladies are awesome. Fact. Labeled by the Guardian as 'The most Brooklyn band ever to come from Manchester' what are you waiting for go listen to them! 

For fans of: Vivian Girls / Savages / BRMC

Deap Vally

This two piece super babe group from Cali have so much attitude and wreak of cool.
 I have seen these girls a couple of times and each time they have owned the stage with Lindsey explosive screams, shouts and grimaces and Julie's amazing glitter ball outfits and auburn curls it is hard to take your eyes off them both.

For fans of: White Stripes / The Black Keys / Led Zeppelin

Best Friends

Best Friends are a surf pop punk band from Steel City. A bit confusing but their songs are just plain awesome and most defo gonna be on my car stereo with the windows 
down when summer finally arrives!

For fans of Wavves / Bos Angeles / Gorgeous Bully

COW X Kayla Hadlington...

We are lucky enough to be working with a few really great Fashion Bloggers from all over the Country and Europe at the moment but we now have one of those said bloggers working with us in our Birmingham store! The lovely, fashionable, outfit post princess Kayla Hadlington is a new member of our team and by the looks of things she is loving her new role, which we may have turned into official COW model for all of the new, exciting pieces that go out onto the shop floor everyday!!

We already followed her Blog and Tumblr and we love to see how much COW Kayla already owned so it is great to see the ways she styles up all of the pieces to suit her own style! Hopefully she is enjoying the role as much as we are enjoying having her!

Here are some of our favourite looks so far but keep posted on her posts here...
