Stomping Feet

tumblr_miqipmz8pH1rclpeeo1_1280

This season is definetly theirs. Nothing will stop them this Winter, even Tom Ford’s fairy-tale thigh high boots with hand made embroideries. Well, Tom Ford would throw up if he would heard that the famous club footed giant clobs with rubber soles would be gesting his runway. But still the inner beauty soul of mine still loves Tom’s creation… but this is not the thing. Fashion giants like Prada, Stella McCartney and Jil Sander together with a plague of young british designers are just crazy about them. Masculine inspired shoes, so called boots nowadays have lots of not too kind nicknames- mammonthly elevatedm tractor tread shoes. But why do women love them. Easy answear- they are simply ugly. Sounds strange, but yes dear female readers, there is now a new fashion era of ugliness- from wearing furkenstocks on feet to mixing prints and colours, that in the past would not even make it in the cheapest pubs. But now they are the ones that are most photographed on street styles and in magazine editorials! Boots are now the most WANTED on women’s wishlist. The next point of their amazingness is their comfortable state (no heels, wedges, mid heels, killer heels, strange ropes etc.) and practically! Now you shall were it everywhere! Even on a MET Gala during the Punk trend. Yes. Punk. Punk also made boots for women more popular. Punk was a controversy. Punks wore boots everywhere. “Normal” people in times of Punk massive attack were saying that it’s so disgusting… And now it’s the most worn shoe for almost ten seasons.

But this season is the most  Punk’d as you can see, filtering magazines and Instagram. So no wonder why boots are killing the high heels that are just so last season! While I pretty like this shoe trend, it feels kind of rebellious and free spirited. In these shoes you will conquer your shoes. As Stella McCartney says “We’re allowed to have inner strenght and it takes that to wear those shoes”. Her collection was like a gender mix- a man shirt that was very long, making it a dress, feels a bit Marc Jacobs, but on women looks great. Laces mixed with smokings looked very modern and surely gives a inner power to every wearing it fashionista. But, these strange shoes might be very romantic, as says Miuccia Prada. True. They looked very sexy accompanied with the dresses and wet hair of models… But what makes a bit suprised, that mostly woman used this “forbidden” trend. Well, except Hedi Slimane and Karl Lagerfeld. But that’s a totally other story to tell. I mean, they are also boots, but boots designed by men this season are beautiful- full of decorations, chains. As I said on the beginning, giving example of Tom Ford, men don’t really like seeing women in these chuncky shoes. It’s better when it is high, hurty and sexy!

London designers are just in love with them. Erdem, Christopher Kane, J.W. Anderson. All of them had boots in their collections. BUT. At Kane, the Chelsea boots were covered with feathers (not so ugly then), at Erdem with crystals (might say even beautiful, and J.W. Anderson’s were so ugly, they were simply beautiful. Yes this is a strange world of Anderson. But why mostly London designers used this type of footwear? Cheaper to make? More commercial? Or just a case of inpiration? In fact, you can wear boots everytime and everwhere. They will make it great with a slim dress or with a mohair striped SL sweater and leather leggins. Or even with a Louis Vuitton boudoir inspired lace dress (that would be a cool hard core on street style in Paris!). In other words, the Wrong Shoes as many people call, are the new IT shoes of the season, and maybe of the decade.

Saint Laurent Boots

20130803-091744 PM.jpg
 For two months I am a number one fan of Saint Laurent AW13 collection by Hedi Slimane. I am in love to death with the California grunge inspired looks full of checks, leather and mini dresses. And these LA musician influenced boots are like the best thing in the collection. But why the #%^*@ are they so, so expensive? Hey, 5685€ is alright? No, not Hedi is mad Cathy Horyn, but the person that is dealing with commercial part for SL. These boots with the “DIY” decoration are beautiful, but not for 5000 and more euros. But, Slimane thought of more normal people and created the cheaper version of these boots for 1500€- without anything special. Just black, normal grunge boots. This is not same effect, but what shall I do? Still cool… 😋😋😋😋

Criminal. Yazbukey AW13

20130803-065445 PM.jpg
Yazbukey AW13 Jewellery collection was like one of Agatha Christie criminal stories- mystery and kind of… Beautiful! In the range of products we can find everywhere a magnifying loop motive, a writing machine that bring memories of Poirot’s secretary, Mrs. Lemon favourite object… There was also a cool POISON bag and lots of beautiful foulards full of colours… 📼🎥🔫💎

Balenciaga Cut-Out Boots

20130716-105452 PM.jpg
The Balenciaga cut out leather boots have just arrived! Lena already matched them up with her Falke pink socks, and the effect looks very rebel and grunge! These shoes are heaven. Although very hard because of the leather and metal elements, they are never out of fashion (even if Alexander Wang is at Balenciaga) and are classical models. So that’s really good then! And they make so much to think about… Plus, then picture under may give you clues where I am going to in two weeks… Just one thing still is quarrelled about. Are these Summer or Winter shoes? 😄❤

The Anglican Romance

20130715-083828 PM.jpg
I’ve got a serious fuse about Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall, Menswear and Womenswear AW13. Sarah Burton’s Anglican inspired romantic dresses for Pre-Fall are pure gothic chic with the minimalistic ends and beautiful details. The menswear was full of strained glass print full of oranges and reds. And the smokings looked really great! But best of all was the ten look collection of the main line at women… The fur, feathers, pearls, leather… What a beautiful collection! I really love the Sarah Burton gothic influence, and the hairstyles are really great… More soon…
