You know when you see celebrities, musicians, stylists and models in an outstanding outfit and you just think "OMG I want that please"..

Well we are going to try and make it easier for you buy showing you how to Get The Look from our favourite guys and gals.

Sometimes in our COW stores you do have to put a little bit more time and effort into searching for a particular item you have in your head but we are all here to make it easier for you. If you are ever in any of our stores and need a little help, please do not be afraid to ask where you can find certain things. All of us are more than happy to help and we know where little treasures are hidden. That's the best bit of the job!

Big Up Blog Love!

 We have been welcoming fashion bloggers to work with COW to see great outfit builds, not only show their own personal and unique style but also to give to give the rest of us some new tips on how to wear some of our vintage and reworked pieces.

Even our reworked items are still one off and unlike any other because even though we use the same techniques on our garments, we use a different selection of fabrics to old and new pieces to create a modern version of our 80's and 90's classics.

We have a list of great bloggers now who are happy to play dress up with COW Vintage and from the feedback we've had those pieces have slotted very easily into their own wardrobes!

We chose wisely when looking into bloggers to make sure we had a great range of personal styles, ages and popularity on the blogging game. Some you may have heard of and some you may not but here are COW's favourite from all over the UK.

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

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!

Check out our versions of the Ralph Lauren classic pieces on our website here.

Bow for Bowie

So.. the new David Bowie video came out today and what can we say. Well it's David Bowie.. obvs then there is Tilda Swinton.. amazing but wait, who's that? Our two favourite androgynous models Andrej Pejic and Saskia De Brauw playing a young Bowie! It might not get any better than this. A movie type, stylised 5 minute music video without a perfect moment missing.

What a fashionable bunch, Saskia De Brauw, Tilda Swinton, David Bowie, Andrej Pejic

We spoke about the David Bowie Is: Exhibition recently which opens at the V&A on March 23rd and this video has just reminded us all at COW why we must go to see.

David Bowie has always been ahead of the times when it comes to music and fashion and at the age of 66 he is still shockingly influential. We bow to Bowie!
