Young Soles has always looked at retro inspiration for their kids footwear collection and this summer has looked to British countryside.
Says Young Soles Founder, Louise Shill “This season is inspired by the British countryside – not the countryside of Enid Blyton novels, but the one I remember from my childhood.
For our lookbook we sourced a ‘brown and beige’ classic Ford car and scouted a leafy-green location in rural Essex. Picnic chairs and flares are the order of the day, along with scraped knees from climbing trees. All things that will evoke a rush of nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the 70’s or 80’s.”
There are new styles and colours including vanilla, blue jean, lipstick and mustard which complement the retro feeling.
Young Soles designs focus on the features most important to children’s footwear; lasts that follow the shape of the foot with a wide toe and narrow heel, comfortable soft leather uppers and linings that allow the upper to mould to the contours of the foot, a lightweight and flexible outsole for growing feet and first steps.
