High and Mighty

(Giddy Spinster Upcycled Shoe Planters)

These shoes are used/ upcycled. The concept is about hard-working women, the increasingly artificial nature of American femininity, and the impossible images that women face in our society. It's a prickly, spiky, sticky situation...

Gone Fishing....

It’s classic resort with a twist. There’s a new captain in town! Rather then your typical sail boat captain S/S 11 draws from the inspiration of fishing boats and oil riggers. The look has been roughed up a bit and raincoat yellow is everywhere. Another huge trend I first noticed on the Sartorialist is the grungy worn and torn work boot. Multiple buckles, rubber soles, and metal clasps. Fashion forward cities like NY and London have adopted and embraced the new look. Innovative new fabric finishes arose this year that result in garments appearing wet and ocean misted. Definitely another big trend for the season!
