THE NEW SHOE BIBLE. Remember when Raf Simons revealed his GBP740 Dior trainers last year? Whether you thought they were gorgeous or just plain gaudy, you'll want to pick up Hannah Rochell's second book, En Brogue: The Trainers Guide, which takes a look at the story behind those designer kicks and a whole lot more. Marie Claire It was in Paris last week, towards the end of a long month of fashion shows, that I bumped into Hannah Rochell, the fashion features editor at InStyle. Rochell, who is better known as the flats-obsessed blogger En Brogue, was looking positively bouncy, in contrast to practically everyone else that day. That was because she was wearing her embellished trainers. So was I, and I too - even though I say it myself - had a spring in my step. These are the ultimate in happy-making shoes. Your feet feel as if they are very much on. Such is the depth of feeling Rochell has for all things trainer, she has written a book on the subject, En Brogue: The Trainers Guide. It surveys an ever-growing field, from old-school Converse and Pumas to the new-fangled designer trainer world of Dior, Marni, Mary Katrantzou for adidas and more. -- Anna Murphy The Times, Times Fashion
