Lounge Bohemia

A secret little place under Shoreditch Kebab House (!) on Shoreditch High Street. You have to book a table, but once inside this bijoux bar, you really feel like you’re in 1930’s Berlin.

Mestizo Mexican Restaurant

I know you’ve all been wondering for a long time now where us ladies at TN_29 like to go out to eat. Well, stop your sleepless nights! We go to this rather fabulous Mexican restaurant for our staff jaunts. With a beautiful menu of tapas and Mexican food, this will keep you warm during those winter nights.

The new Anthony and the Johnsons EP “Another World”. And, we are sad we missed him at the Barbican. Please let us know if you managed to see him.

Yes yes, how can it beat the book and the fabulous series, but it’s all about the clothes, darlings! And the acting’s meant to be good too, ahem!

Cherry Ghost
Yes yes, we’re about a year later than everyone else, but my god their album “Thirst For Romance” is brilliantly uplifting just as these cold dark winter nights begin. And, as you know, we’re incredibly high brow poetry types here at TN29 (yes, as well as shoe designers, we’re multi-skilled) and these lyrics are our new favourites to sing along to.

BFI 52nd London Film Festival
We’re especially anticipating this little oddment? “The Posters Came From The Walls”, a documentary about avid Depeche Mode fans in Russia (who have re-named Russia’s 9th May Victory day as “Dave Day”!).

Super glossy high fashion magazine on the web, this incredibly decadent and sleek (and yes, our shoes have been in there!) is a must read for a style mavens.

Sarah Kane Complete Plays
Phew, not for the faint hearted! Brilliant, poetic, blunt and thought provoking, this contemporary playwright really should be celebrated more often.

Gomorrah
True and sad account of the mafia’s vice like grip on Naples. Shocking (and brave-I certainly wouldn’t write a tell-all book about them!) this is a must read before the film comes out at the end of the month.

Well, TN29 was suitably harrowed at the weekend by this stunning exhibition, the most striking exhibition of paintings we’ve been to in a long time, just don’t go if you’re feeling fragile…

Tate Britain

Thankyou, one and all….who came to our Design Festival Soiree! It’s always lovely to hear your feedback. We did particularly love the hysteria our Kid Leather Boots incurred in some of you….

Not that we’re one’s to start hanging the tinsel three months too early, but due to the fact that there’s been so many considerate husbands and boyfriends coming in recently, we’ve decided to make extra special gift vouchers in time for the festive season. Papier Mache Shoes! So, start dropping those hints….

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
At the Troxy in Bethnal Green in November. Anyone manage to get tickets? Nope, neither did we! Boo….

Fleetwood Mac reform!
Yes, after years of accidental Stevie Nicks hair, now the time has come for it to be emulated by the masses. A new album and tour -YES!- a tour early 2009!!!

It’s getting colder….
And we have our lovely boots in here at TN29. They were a big hit at the Design Festival Party so there’s only a few pairs left….hurry!

Dorian Gray
You MUST see this! A contemporary adaptation of the Oscar Wilde book we all love, this Michael Bourne production was possibly the best piece of contemporary dance TN29 has seen….completely emotive, it’s the physical feats of the dancers that make this production absolutely unforgettable.

(And, we’re most excited about Bourne’s production of Edward Scissor Hands at Christmas!)
