Star Gazing

Up and coming designer Christopher Kane is a designer to watch out for. He won a large cash prize by the British Fashion Council and the Vogue Designer Fashion Fund in February 2011. And also participated in London's Fashion week! He is certainly reaching for the stars and is now touching them. One step closer to the fashion Gods.

Shoe, Fly! Don't Bother Me

Designer: Commes Des Garcones

     These shoes are eccentric, quirky, off-beat, but can we say ugly? Can ugly be an adjective used to describe this pair? It makes me feel uneasy because the oxford shoe (which as you know these are), is shoe that exudes a feeling of masculinity and yet there are feet with red-painted toe nails underneath. Yet they are kinda cool because the thick line of the feet make it cartoonish. It's as if the shoe reveals an x-ray cartoon you. 

Bizarre to say the least.
