Shoe of the Day: David Koma Fall 2012 Bootie
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012
While some aspects of David Koma's Fall 2012 collection were questionable--fabric was (too?) stiff; collars were (too?) high; dramatic cutouts made for leftover, boob-hugging panels (is that wrong?)--one thing was for sure: the shoes were killer. Leather booties in stark ...

Shoe of the Day: Topshop Unique Fall 2012 Combat Boot
Monday, February 20th, 2012
The summation of the Topshop Unique Fall 2012 collection? G.I. Jane. The line's London Fashion Week runway was full of soldier girls, seemingly transformed for an editorial in a high-fashion glossy (coincidentally, creative director Kate Phelan has roots at British ...

Shoe of the Day: Simone Rocha Fall 2012 Metallic Brogue
Saturday, February 18th, 2012
We will forgive Simone Rocha for showing a spring collection toady; her lineup was too pretty and perfect (heavy in Fall 2012 trends, if New York has any say) to question. The young, rising star sent a number of peplums, ...

Thursday, February 16th, 2012
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 show at New York Fashion Week was all about balance--which was quite a departure from altogether-over-the-top spectacle the designer served-up just one night before. The playful (like a shapeless jumpsuit worn over a ...

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012
Kate and Laura Mulleavy were said to have been inspired by the Australian Outback when designing their Rodarte Fall 2012 collection. While it shows, it's obvious that their more typical go-bys--which, seasonally, result in looks perfect for an ass-kicking prairie ...

Shoe of the Day: Alexander Wang Fall 2012 Boot
Sunday, February 12th, 2012
Between the long gloves, the long (calf-length) skirts and the buttoned-up blouses, the Alexander Wang chick is surprisingly covered-up this season. The designer worked in a color palette of black, blood-red and white for Fall 2012--and kept everything shiny and ...

Shoe of the Day: Rag & Bone Fall 2012 Boot
Saturday, February 11th, 2012
It was solid metallics paired with matte prints, sheer layers paired with thick furs, dresses worn over pants,...so, why not add in a traditional granny boot you've attached to a rugged, chunky sole? It seems Rag & Bone's David Neville ...

Shoe of the Day: Nicholas K Fall 2012 Bootie
Friday, February 10th, 2012
It seems--if you're excited to take on the "Nicholas K woman" title this season, based on the collection that hit the runway earlier this week--you're a little outdoorsy, a little bit rock 'n' roll. You like ten-gallon hats and shearling ...

Shoe of the Day: Organic by John Patrick Fall 2012 Wellies
Thursday, February 9th, 2012
A truly-wearable collection from head to toe, the Organic by John Patrick Fall 2012 lineup could have been boring--if not for the leather pieces. While the luxe-leather bunch included a slicker-look jacket, burgundy flares and surprisingly-cool capris, a definite standout ...

Shoe of the Day: Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Couture Platform
Wednesday, February 8th, 2012
While maybe an odd choice for a sacred couture show (no intricate beading? a mega-platform?), the block-like, black platforms that laced up the models' legs on the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Couture runway were arguably among the seasons' best. Image ...

Monday, February 6th, 2012
A collection that appears both inspired by equestrian wear and ready for the street, the Givenchy Pre-Fall 2012 lineup--more than any other--has me chomping at the bit for the launch of the Fall shows. I blame the boots. Seemingly riding ...

Shoe of the Day: Jeffrey Campbell “Tawny” Platform
Friday, February 3rd, 2012
The "Tawny" shoe by Jeffrey Campbell combines some of my favorite trends of the moment. Its studs and curved heel were, without a doubt, done well--but, it's the suede in the style, and that's all over this season, that is ...
