COW WELCOMES: Big Deal

Yesterday Big Deal swung by our Manchester store to have a rummage for some vintage gems before they set off to Liverpool for their gig at the Shipping Forecast and also had a spare minute to squeeze in a photo shoot with our photographer Richard.

Last night they played Manchester's Night and Day Cafe, with support from Sisters, and today they came up trumps with some real stand out pieces from our shop floor.

Have a listen to their new single whilst you check out the photos below.

The Championships - Wimbledon

Get your strawberrys, Pimms and Robinson dilute out. It's Wimbledon time!

The Sports Crew are out in full swing, literally and we are not going to miss out on some nail biting back and forth.. as well as those wonderful faces of pure effort, success and disappointment.
All in all the whole game is a roller coaster of emotion and we want to get involved... Mostly by sitting down and eating cucumber sandwiches.

The sport actually has quite an interesting relationship with Fashion, with big names such as Fred Perry being the last British male to win the Championships and the label close to our hearts, Ralph Lauren sponsors the Championships and provides uniforms for the ball boys and girls.

Here are our Wimbledon outfits all available at WWW.WEARECOW.COM

Ralph Lauren.. Then and Now

Ralph Lauren is a household name and any fashion enthusiast will know it is a Brand with some serious history. We see the Ralph Lauren Polo logo daily in COW and today we have chosen to look back at Ralph Lauren, who he is and what he has created.

For us here at Cow we are very used to seeing the Ralph Lauren emblem on men's and women's shirts which are often played around with by our Rework team. We are always receiving these styles and they are usually transformed from the regular shirt into mini dresses with elasticated waists or the more recent cropped elasticated version.

Grey Ralph Lauren Rework Shirt Dress - £27

Blue Striped Ralph Lauren Rework Shirt Dress - £28

Tie Dye Ralph Lauren Rework Shirt Dress - £30

Looking back at how the brand started and the way it has grown into such an incredible designer label we are lucky to have this brand in our stores and online.
It all began with the man, they call, Ralph Lauren. Born in 1939 from the Bronx, he didn't enjoy studying much and dropped out of college where he had been studying Business. Ironic, eh? He joked in his year book statement that he was going to be a millionaire and then went on to establish and grow a multi-billion dollar corporation starting with selling ties to his fellow students.

It wasn't until 1970 when we were first introduced to the classic Polo emblem which was sewn onto the sleeve of jackets from his first ladies suit collection tailor made in the same way as a man's suit would be made. He hit a rough patch in 1987 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He underwent serious surgery and came out the the other side with full health and made a full recovery.

Ralph Lauren then went on to open stores internationally, design Ready To Wear Collections season after season and gain well deserved respect in the Fashion Industry. He is still going strong today and we must say not looking too bad for an older gent with a lot of years of experience behind him.

Young Ralph, looking pretty darn handsome and cool!

Older Ralph, looking very dapper and pleased!

We also have a great deal more Era pieces ranging from the 1950's to 1970's on our Ebay store, so if you are looking for that one off original retro item that you may not be able to find in our stores please check it out here.
