London based Wren Bicycles is set to debut their city-dweller two-wheeler during Clerkenwell Design Week starting May 24. We bring you a quick preview of their three-speed model. Designer, Pete Richardson, looks to bring a compact bicycle to the streets. Everything about the bicycle is kept to the bare minimum: “Matching finish mudguards are included as standard, alongside a sprung leather saddle and natural cork handle grips. This three speed bicycle also discreetly encloses all brake and gear mechanisms to keep maintenance to minimum.”

The “Burning Bright” t-shirt collection from Martyn Bal take a positive approach to the troubled “economies” of the world. The focus looks to be on positive energy. That’s what fashion brings. “Despite all this [bad economy], Martyn Bal has a positive outlook and uses the hand as an immortal romantic symbol to put a mystical emphasis on energy free from external restrictions, and to reflect and realise the intrinsic beauty of nature and man against control, power and defeat.”

Sounds complicated. We just like the t-shirts. Available here.

A slew of new espadrille inspired takes on footwear. “Inspired by military palettes, Chinese milinery, and age-old craftsmanship, stylist Jeremy Sultan has developed a perspective all his own. Relying on classic dying methods to hit upon new and unique hues for his clothing and accessories, the Paris-based designer conjures an earthy, organic aesthetic for his label, Sultan Wash, that instantly refreshes a wardrobe.” The O.C. has them.

Por Vocacao takes deliver of the Denim Gallery Biarritz Spring 2011 t-shirt line. “This season’s theme is Love so the prints reflect that. Some do it more clearly like Mick and Marianne, designed by Charlotte Delarue after a Rolling Stones photo. Others, in a twisted way, like Guillotine, designed by the Partel Oliva duo. There’s even one for all you cinema lovers out there called Le Mèpris, designed by Sylvie Jaunet, after the Godard film with the same name.” Plenty of styles for all in this collection of basics.

More than a driving shoe, the Mr. Hare Fangio loafers are made from the finest of leathers. Choose from soft ivory suede or nappa leather for the upper. The sole gets a bit of a rubber treatment to keep it all in line.  They should walk as well as they drive in. Colette and Boutique1 in Dubai have them.

File this under ‘things we never thought we’d want but now kinda do’. We don’t know what the point of having a candle shaped like a car is, but we do know that this looks cool. And that’s all we need to know. (Sleek Identity)
