Title: Rupha Lifestyle
Post by: LEE on 10 June, 2014, 05:14:25 pm
If you feel you have a slightly Rupha lifestyle than..ahem...you know who..then feel free to show us your own sartorial street style.

Try and put a bit of effort into it though...it's a glossy magazine and catalogue after all.

I see what you mean if using Safari. In Firefox there's no problem. What have I DONE TO UPSET APPLE? I'm using one of their bloody machines - and always have done. Maybe they don't like the word 'sock'?

Or is it the very annoying Flickr?

Dunno?

The most striking visual feature of this season’s RUPHA collection is the Data Print, a collaboration that creates graphic art from the science of modern road racing. London-based design studio "Saw-U-Coming" used the ride data from the three weeks of a Team RUPHA rider’s grand tour to produce a unique graphic. Charting the story of each stage, the resulting print is made up of precisely scaled chevrons mapping the rider’s distance, elevation gain and effort.

If you converted all the pics in the "it's the hope I can't take" thread to b/w, Rapha would probably buy them.  They're too miserable for Rupha.

I think you misunderstand the 'I can take the despair' thread. That's just an echo of the pop bands visiting Watford Gap at 2 am in the 1960s, and conveys the grit behind the glamour, but without the glamour.

I don't think Bovril at 1s/3d was very good value against tea at 6d.
