Horrifying bejeweled crocs hit the runway in London’s Fashion Week

September 19, 2016 By creative

The ugly shoe craze is not over.  We've seen what happens when Uggs and Tevas team up, and even the horrifying invention of cowboy boot sandals. Now, we must stomach the crème de la crème of ugly shoes: bejeweled crocs.  London designer Christopher Kane teamed up with Crocs to create this sparkly monstrosity for his Spring 2017 in London's fashion week. The theme of his show, “Make Do & Mend,” is inspired by 1940's pragmatism and questions our faith in high fashion standards. Kane's metallic crocs are decorated with precious stones, such as diaspro, red leopard malachite and zebra jasper and will actually be produced and sold.  SEE ALSO: Ugg and Teva's new mashup 'sandals' are confusingly impractical Oh no  #crocs#christopherkane A photo posted by Michelle Vaughan (@mich_vaughan) on Sep 19, 2016 at 11:14am PDT As if we haven't been through enough, these crocs are paired with floral dresses and formal evening wear, because nothing screams, “night-at-the-opera,” at the top of their lungs like a pair of crocs.  It seems the designer's collection sparked genuine confusion on twitter as well.  Please explain to me why Christopher Kane sent crocs down the runway — k-la (@KaylaManjarrez) September 19, 2016 Crocs happened at Christopher Kane?!! I can't wait to see how this plays out! — Grace Timothy (@GraceTimothy) September 19, 2016 If Christopher Kane just ordained Crocs as the new ironic shoe du jour I'm gonna lose it — Misty White Sidell (@MistyWhiteS) September 19, 2016 When will it end?

New York Fashion Week breaks out designs for all seasons

September 15, 2016 By admin

By Patricia Reaney NEW YORK (Reuters) – More designers at New York Fashion Week broke out of the industry's long-established mode of showing clothes meant to be worn in six months' time by sprinkling wear-now fall looks among catwalk presentations largely focused on next spring. “Instant gratification, that is the mantra of a whole generation of people, and when they see it they want it, and we are going into the fall season so it makes a lot of sense,” said Roseanne Morrison, fashion director at trends forecaster The Doneger Group. Marc Jacobs' spring-focused show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday was all glitter and glam as dreadlocked models strutted in mini dresses, embellished satin shorts and platform shoes.

Veteran fashion designer Ralph Lauren staged his first runway-to-retail show promoting his September collection, an American West-influenced affair that turned heads and stopped traffic on Madison Avenue during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday night.

Chanel to show Metiers d’Art collection in the Ritz, Paris

September 13, 2016 By admin

Chanel is staying home this year for its Metiers d'Art catwalk show, which will take place in the Ritz Paris. Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld chose the Ritz for its links to the house's famous founder, Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel, who lived at the hotel for over 30 years, decorating the luxury apartment herself. Located in the French capital's prestigious Place Vendome, the Ritz re-opened its doors this summer after a four-year-long renovation period that saw the addition of a new 'terrasse' and the reduction of rooms from 159 to 142 for a more spacious guest experience.
