Let's talk shall we? This editorial is so mindblowing- all about texture.

Black washed out suede boots with leather pants so tight, Rick Owens unzipped and heather gray, shiny plastic pleather shorts and knee high flying fringe.

Fuck the French, they're too fantastic.

The Mix

This editorial shot by Mario Testino for Vogue UK encapsulates everything I love about fashion. For me it's all about tulle and leather, secondhand military jackets paired with weightless coral silks. It does help of course, that Kate is the queen of the high/low sensibility- effortlessly combining couture and studded cuffs. I could wax poetic for days, but I think I will for once just stop and let you enjoy.

Deja Shoe

Every season we see countless pairs of killer footwear traipse through the Tuileries each one more insanely fetishist and feisty than the next. Despite the wide variety we see every year there is always one undeniable standout style, last season we saw the YSL tributes, before that the Balenciaga vertigo inducing plats. This season the unanimous winner was the Louis Vuitton "Spicy" sandal. The Spicy is one part Safari and two parts Kindergarten arts and crafts project. The Spicy was spotted south of the ankle on almost every French fashion editor and Romanian model and even on Kanye West's new mannequin Amber Rose. Don't wait on these ferocious recession proof wonders.
