Checking out the Fiorentini + Baker range, these guys really stood out. For anyone like me who literally wore her Converse All-Stars to death, the Lennox is the natural progression.
The Lennox range first put in an appearance in S/S11 and although really well received, Deborah Baker (the British born designer behind F+B) felt that the line, with its distinctive sports feel, wasn’t really part of her design ethos, so it was dropped from the proceeding collections.
Luckily, possibly due to the launch of the NYC and LA stores and the Shoreditch flagship store, there suddenly seemed to be a demand for a Converse-style shoe to sit alongside the rugged weathered leathers and general artisan style of boots we already know and love.
Thus the Lennox has been given a revival for S/S15. The distinctive, yet typically underplayed Fiorentini + Baker style traits are ever present – such as the printed logo, the easy-on-the-eye colour combinations and the hand stitching details. And of course the way they, just like the boots, already look like your favourite, go-to item in your wardrobe. The range is unisex and features a subtle mix of colours and materials.
The Lennox comes in a variety of styles and retail from £290 – £305
