Forget White Trainers – Every Fashion Person Is Only Wearing This Colour Now
The year is 2011. Phoebe Philo - fashion's messiah, quiet commander and Céline's creative director - is closing her show. But this time, the moment of impact isn't stitched into hemlines or cut into tailoring. It's walking out with her. As she takes her final bow, the designer steps out in a uniform that's become something of a cut in itself: skinny jeans, a roll-neck (hair tucked in - a noted Philo-ism), and a white, conspicuously unbothered pair of Adidas Stan Smiths. Within a few moments, the groundwork had been laid for what was set to become the bestselling trainer of the last decade.

The fashion set, Victoria Beckham, Raf Simons - and Philo again in 2014 - all stealthily contributed to the rise of the retro trainers, legitimising them in virtually every setting, with the exception, perhaps, of global politics. (Justin Trudeau, we're looking at you). Fast forward to now, and the retro sneaker hype hasn't lost its footing. If anything, it's sprinting ahead: take Wales Bonner's bonafide collaboration with Adidas, for example, which continues to sell out on sight, or look at the craze caused by Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico trainers. We've seen so many Stan Smith revivals or sportswear brands reissuing iconic styles from their archives (hello, Puma Speed Cats). Dries Van Noten has created vintage-inspired trainers, which are a masterclass in scarcity marketing, and if you're reading this, chances are that you, too, own a pair of Adidas Sambas - whether they're still in or not. The point is, retro trainers are the piece of footwear to which we'll never want to say goodbye. But in 2025, there's a notable caveat: all-white kicks no longer make the cut. Call it the limit of ubiquity, their cool having fallen victim to the trends inflation rate, or the fact that they have suffered death by repetition on mums at the school gate (and the cropped, skinny trousers and ankle socks combo didn't help). But, a piece of good news, the industry's tastemakers are switching things up. And if Philo were to give her stamp of approval today? Chances are, it would go to pale yellow sneakers. Already shot out into the mainstream by hamstring-bracing shorts king, Harry Styles, who wore Prada's skinny sole, collapsible heel style out for a stroll this summer, the sunshine-bright shoes aren't hard to find. Loewe's cult-y On collaboration brought forth a pair that fashion editors have bookmarked and backordered. Maison Margiela's newly-launched 'Sprinters' have arrived in a beige-could-be-sun-bleached-yellow colourway, and as for 'The Tennis' by Jacquemus in suede lemon sorbet? Practically extinct in popular sizes. From L-R: Jacquemus' The Tennis trainers; Loewe X On Cloudventure 2.0 trainers So, what's the takeaway? A happy trainer equals a happy life? Maybe. Or, perhaps, the trend pendulum has swung and we've temporarily eschewed white trainers for something with a bit more character until the oversaturated stampede of alpina white shoes has died down again. Either way, if you're contemplating a trainer upgrade this summer, might we gently suggest opting for a dopamine-inducing shot of colour for your feet? Scroll on to shop our favourite pairs below. 1.

Later, Rosie struck another pose from inside her car, shielding her eyes with oversized black shades and clutching a beige handbag to complete the luxe look. Her outing came just hours after she flaunted her taut midriff in a figure-hugging crop top and black jogging bottoms as she worked up a sweat in the gym She added a touch of height with beige croc-textured stiletto heels from Christen and styled her honey-blonde locks in a voluminous blowout. The model also enjoyed a lavish lunch at Harry's Bar, treating her followers to a snap of her indulgent tiramisu dessert. Rosie's outing comes days after she flaunted her incredible physique in a unique skirt and crop top combination for a glamorous Instagram photo dump. The British model slipped into a quirky yet elegant £1,950 Maison Alaia jersey suspender skirt featuring a unique over-the-shoulder strap in one selfie.

In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, Rosie opened up about her post-partum figure and told how her body has changed over time. Rosie and Jason share two children together - Jack Oscar, seven, and Isabella James, three. She explained: 'You've aged, you've stretched, things are not sitting where they used to. After both babies, it took two years to feel fully back to normal, and even then it's not really normal, is it?' Rosie went on to suggest that she wouldn't have it any other way as she told how life is 'too short'. She added: 'My twenties were fun, but then you get older, wiser and a little more roughed up. S**t happens. Being a mum is challenging.

Phoebe Philo guest edits FT's HTSI luxury magazine
Phoebe Philo is the guest editor of this weekend's (3 May) edition of the Financial Times luxury lifestyle magazine HTSI (or How To Spend It). It's a rare head-above-the-parapet moment for a designer not known for her publicity-generating activities and comes as her still-young own label continues its series of discreet ultra-luxury launches. Speaking about the issue, she said: 'The people I have chosen to feature in this magazine are all passionately dedicated to their vocation. They are people whom I admire for their talent, their knowledge, their discipline, their complexity and their distinctive expertise.' So who are those people? They include artist Andrea Fraser who 'performs a Phoebe Philo look' on the cover. She was photographed for the cover by Talia Chetrit and interviewed by Sarah Thornton. Then there's curator Koyo Kouoh, who speaks with Charlene Prempeh for the Aesthete interview. It means that despite the celebrity designer link-up, the magazine clearly isn't going down a populist route. Philo added: 'With so much of our collective experience and social interaction reliant on a digital culture, clothes, for me, represent almost the polar opposite. Clothes are tactile, emotionally resonant, personal and, on so many levels, anything but remote. And HTSI editor Jo Ellison said: 'Phoebe's vision is unique and hugely influential. It has been a privilege to collaborate with her on this issue of HTSI and give our readers a rare insight into the people and ideas that interest her.'
