Seriously.....? What is high fashion?

The words style and fashion sure do not mix, nor do they have even close to the same meaning, as we shall learn here today. Now, one might bravely call these Christian Louboutin shoes 'high fashion objects,' but one would hopefully not venture to wear these and say that they have 'style.' Obviously, those who would buy and wear them, will undoubtedly think that they have style, but oh how wrong they will be. I am beginning to think that the high fashion artists of the world have ran out of clever ideas to create so they just create the most ostentatious things that they can think of and call it fashionable. I really believe that as the days go on, these two words grow further apart from each other, when in reality I believe that in their truest forms, they should go hand-in-hand. The definition of fashion is: a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing. It's like when Tommy Nutter, one of the most famous designers from Savile Row, came about. He revolutionized the lapel, making it bold and beautiful. Wearing his stuff was not only fashionable, but took someone with style to pull off. Where do you think Tom Ford got his inspiration (and designs)? Tommy Nutter! So...when I look at shoes like this, I shake my head in disappointment, thinking about how someone who would design this could be so famous????

Today's Favorites - Random's


I am in a bit of a rush this morning and could not think of a specific maker that I wanted to write about so I thought that I would just filter through my 'random' pictures folder. That being, I am will put up some shoes here, but may not 100% sure about who the maker is. For example, I believe that the stunning spat boot above is made by Aubercy, but also have this feeling that it may be a japanese maker (Correction, a reader told me that it was made by Otsaka M-5)? So, if you know, please feel free to leave a comment so that I can give credit to the maker. Nonetheless, enjoy the shoe porn, have a great Wednesday and I will be back tomorrow for a stronger post. Now that the Paris trip posts are done, I will get back to doing my "Shoes" posts on Mondays, next week explaining everything about the term 'brogue.'
