Candy Hearts Band!

Candy Hearts Band!

If you're not aware, get aware! Candy Hearts Band are a 3 piece American Pop Punk Band from New York and New Jersey, that formed in 2010 and is made up of Mariel Loveland on Vocals, Matt Ferraro on drums and John Clifford as bassist. Candy Hearts have come leaps and bounds since and have just released their 2nd album, "All the Ways you let me down" which was produced by big name, Chad Gilbert from pop punk legends, New Found Glory. The first single "I miss you" gives you a sense of what the new 11-song album is all about with their upbeat riffs and very catchy hooks, just like any good pop punk song requires - A disgustingly catchy chorus and the ability to make you want to pencil jump until your legs hurt! You'll find it hard not to bop along and belt out the chorus - Don't fight it; Let the pop punk goodness consume you! Candy-Hearts-Shoes With the album being mostly about relationships, you can definitely sense that they are influenced by the likes of Taylor Swift, as it's more lyrically more pop than punk, but don't be fooled; it still has the heavier alternative energy striking through, that will have you nodding your head along and throwing your hands above your head. Muriel fronts the band with a positive energy, despite some of the sadder tones of the songs, and they sound similar to the female fronted pop punk band, Hey Monday! "One of the top 10 pop punk bands that people need to know" - Billboard We hooked Mariel up with all kinds of T.U.K. goodies when she stopped by to pick up some kicks for the Candy Heart's latest tours. Her tops picks were the A8503 pointed leather creepers along with the T2215 Glitter Anarchic Boots and the awesome T2219 purple crushed velvet Anarchic Boots. All three choices are great for the punk rock styling she will need for on stage, as the leather creepers look great with rolled up jeans and the combat boots look amazing with dresses, so you can adopt this style quite easily. If you want to catch Candy Hearts Band, they are touring the US for the Glamour Kills Tour in October and then to our delight they are supporting and touring the Pop Punk’s Not Dead Tour in UK and Ireland in November, with the likes of New Found Glory, The Story so far, State Champs and The Only rivals; tickets are still available so get yours now!

Kelly Osbourne Creepin' Around!

Kelly Osbourne has always been one for standing out in the crowd, and here at T.U.K. we embrace that attitude. So we were delighted when Kelly slipped on a pair of our fantastic A6804 Black & White Leather Hi Mondo Creepers for her latest photo shoot; she loved them so much she shared a picture of her sitting poolside with bearded male model, Ricki Hall on her lunch break and kicking back in her creepers, and later whilst on a plane - Living the dream! Being the daughter of the Famous X-factor judge Sharon Osbourne and living legend Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly has never struggled to make a notorious name for herself by trying a variety of jobs from song writing to acting and presenting, and now takes on a new challenge as a fashion designer. She is launching her new fashion line "Stories.. By Kelly Osbourne" with 13 ready to wear styles, available from sizes 0-24 to promote equality in fashion, here's what she had to say about her exciting new line: "I believe that every time you wear something you have a story of where you wore it, whether it's good or bad. My mission is not to be the number one fashion designer in the world" Her new collection is already in demand from celebrity Ciara and pop sensation Taylor Swift - With her quirky style that radiates attitude, we expect it will do well and can't wait to see what she has in store.

Sienna Miller Covers Nylon Magazine

Sienna Miller takes over the cover of Nylon Magazine to help them celebrate 15 years of the successful mag! Sienna Miller is a stunning model, actress and fashion desginer, so we were really excited when she took to the cover of Nylon Magazine in a pair of T.U.K. Creepers! This is the fourth time she has graced the cover of Nylon, and the first time she has been spotted rocking a pair of our creepers! She looks super cute in her knee high sports socks and our A8522 Black & White Polka Dot Mondo Hi Sole Creepers. She gives an interview about her new found confidence with acting, her fashion line 'Twenty8Twelve', getting engaged (to actor Tom Sturridge), being a mother and more - If you want to see it you'll have to check out the link, but here is a teaser! On ending her fashion line, Twenty8Twelve: "We were designing a really big collection in the end....I think maybe I'd be more fulfilled being a couturier or something, or doing 10 amazing pieces a season." On her new acting outlook:
"If I go to work and have to sob all day and kill myself thinking about every sad thing that's ever happened, I'll get home feeling like I've flexed some sort of muscle."
On confidence: "I've gotten to the point where I feel much more confident in myself and my ability. If you start to feel that, inevitably, it will affect your work and your perception."More here: http://www.nylon.com/articles/sienna-miller-april-nylon-cover

T.U.K.'s Spotlight Q&A: Rock Star Stylist Candice Lambert

T.U.K.'s Spotlight Q&A: Rock Star Stylist Candice Lambert

A Stylist That Rocks! Q&A with Candice Lambert
Heavily influenced by the underground rock and punk scene she grew up in, Candice Lambert naturally found her calling as a fashion stylist for musicians. The rock star styling aficionado does anything from tour wardrobe, photo shoots, award shows, album covers, music video, to editorials. She styles just about anything that deals with music and fashion. Candice has put T.U.K. on a lot of musicians as well. Some of her clients have included Echosmith, Atlas Genius, The Offspring, Deluka, Andra Day, Green Day… and many more.
Who have been some of your favorite bands or celebrities to work with?
This question is hard to answer. I love all of the bands that I have been lucky enough to style. Each band has its unique style which always makes it fun to work with them. Currently, I am really enjoying working with Bad Things, Kongos, Camila, Smallpools, Blondfire, The Offspring, Echosmith and Deluka. In the past, the Black Keys and Green Day were always a blast to work with.
Candice300
Not only do you love to style T.U.K. creepers on your clients but you’ve also worn and been a huge fan of them your whole life. What is it that draws you to T.U.K.?
Well, creepers have been in my life since I was a kid. I grew up in the punk scene and it was a prominent fixture in our style. Creepers were a way to not only express yourself and your scene as a kid but it also provided an opportunity for you to identify with others. If you saw someone walking down the street in a pair, you knew immediately they knew what was up. They communicated to you an underlining street cred without words. I will wear creepers for the rest of my life. I will be that 80-year-old lady tromping around in a pair. They bring me to my roots, remind me of where I came from and plus they are so damn cool.
Tell us about your T.U.K. creeper collection! Which style is your favorite?
I have a fairly extensive collection. I have the Vivas in almost all colors as well as a ton of colors and patterns in the classic creeper. I love the Mondo, but I think my favorite is the studded Monk.
What influences your personal style and where do you get inspiration from when styling your clients?
Music has influenced me which in turn has affected my personal style. From my teen years and beyond, I have reflected that influence in the way I have expressed myself through my personal style. The Clash has made a profound impact, and they are reflected in my choices because I get them and I like their message. Music is art – art is style – and it all a personal choice. I always say my personal style is a mixture of Joan Jett, Gwen Stefani, Kate Moss and Joe Strummer.
When styling clients, I listen to their music so I can get a sense of who they are and create a scene of their message and an image in my head to truly understand what it is that they want to communicate to their audiences. Then, I review previous photos, look for things I think represents that message best and things that I think don’t. I consider their vision and understand the core of their creative message. I usually have a collaborative meeting with the band members to discuss creative ways to express who they are and what they want to communicate as artists. This helps me to identify ways to display them through fashion in concert with their music and their art. Their message, their art, and their sound must be honestly reflected through their fashion. In my mind, they are the Picassos, the Van Goghs, and the Pollacks of the 21st Century so I want to ensure their fashion never detracts from their music.
If you had the chance, who would you love to style and throw a pair of T.U.K. shoes on?
Wow! Hard question! I would love to style and throw some creepers on Joan Jett, Blondie, The Replacements, RHCP, Paramore, Twenty One Pilots. Really, I could go on and on. Everyone needs a pair of T.U.K.’s in their life.
What are your goals for the future and what can we expect to see from you?
I have many styling projects for this summer that I am excited about. I want to eventually start my own line and have a collection but I am going to start with shoes first. I am addicted to footwear as you can see, and I have tons ideas.
