FASHION FAUX PAS OR FABULOUS FOOTWEAR?

Like Crocs, sneans and leggings as pants, socks and sandals have long been regarded as a no-no, a staple reserved for dorks and dads. But lately there has been an emergence of grungy grandpa socks paired with towering platform sandals on skinny legs throughout the fashion world. In fact, whether preppy and argyle, cute and frilly, thick and woolly or loud and silly, socks are fast becoming the hot (or warm) new accessory.

À L'ENVERS

Recess

By AG age 7

 'On the other side of the school building where there was asphalt the girls who had all carried their personal hopscotch markers last week had now to throw them away and spend all their leisure moments standing on their hands with their feet against a wall. Their skirts were tucked into the elastic of their bloomers, but from time to time a skirt would escape and fall about the head of its wearer, revealing a singlet of unpredictable hue or holeyness. As they became more expert the girls could spend most of the lunch hour upside down as devoutly as so many fakirs spending their entire adulthood on one leg.'

MCQUEEN

Alexander McQueen's fall/winter 2010 collection features incredibly beautiful imperial gowns and headdresses, in rich reds and golds. What a tragedy to have lost such an iconic British designer, who was never short on shock-tactics. I'm partial to the strikingly intricate Indian-inspired hair jewellery from the Fall 2008 line.
