xmas day walk in regents park







it's been a sort of tradition over the years to go for a stroll in regents park on xmas day
if the we are in the country that is... oh and if it's not raining.


here's one of myself and la niña from way back
way back when i thought it acceptable to wear a tartan stussy cap
a pair of timberlands and everything else by chipie








a few years later...
going through a mambo phase. mambo top, jacket and trousers.
keeping faith with timberland for footwear though.








after a fair few christmas days out of the country... in either san francisco
or new york, it was time to stay home again a few years later...
hmmm... i've gone for xmas headgear again. this time it's a cashmere bape beanie.
that's a reversible bape jacket, paul smith gloves, maharishi combats
and adidas superstars with gold stripes.








in 2008... or maybe 2009
maharishi jacket, colette x penfield gillet, levis and madfoot kicks








2010 and braving the cold weather
same jacket and gillet, stüssy mittens, evisu jeans and eddie cruz west edition af-1's








then just a few days ago...
teaming my trademark pose with my nike destroyer jacket,
a new pair of evisu jeans and the boot leather af-1's i designed
earlier in the month.


( it's strange to think isn't it, that 25 days previously those kicks didn't exist...
then i gave it some thought, went on the i.d. website and designed a pair of air force 1's  to my personal specifications from all the different materials and options.
 i clicked the 'buy' button and somebody in china made them
to my requirements, posted them to n7 and on xmas day i'm wearing them )

nice one nike.

  1. your daughter is standing on just her heals in the last photo. it adds a sneeky element of anarchy to the trademark team whitfield pose.

  4. to be honest we should have just done the same shot every xmas day, even if we were strolling down say broadway in new york or powell in s.f.
    ah well, at least we have a few gems from london, all shot on the same path in regent's park.
