Givenchy and Converse teamed up for a Japanese only release of the Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci × CONVERSE ADDICT. I like the subtle animal print and the Givenchy cross tongue detail. via freshnessmag.com images: Fashionsnap.com
The handbags in the Celine Fall Winter 2011 – 2012 collection are very slick and look ready to hold your fashionable tech gadgets. I like the minimal use of branding and logos on the bags. I normally hate these pointy 80s style stilettos but something about these Celine ones are making me rethink that hate. images: eastnews.ru
Sarah Burton was influenced by The Ice Queen and her court for the Alexander McQueen fall winter 2011 – 2012 collection. As always, I want – I got focuses on the crazy shoes. This season they continue with the platform base and takes some influence from fetish shoes with all the laces and stiletto heel. I’m liking the boots and they come in some different treatments like leather, croc and pony. You see this shoe which will is the standout of the bunch with it’s own heel spike. I wonder if this shoe will actually be produced for retail. It’s a bit cyberpunk for the Ice Queen. As always these shoes will be hot commodities.  You can try your luck with the selection Holt Renfrew brings in or you can call your closest Alexander McQueen shop and get on the waiting list. UPDATE: I found some more great photos to share. images: eastnews.ru, vogue.com
Shoes! I snapped some fun shoe photos so far. The Prada Creeper! Twins. Love the polka dot socks. Group shot.
Chloe Sevigny and Opening Ceremony have teamed up again for the spring summer 2011 season. The boots are super, super tall for 2011. I’m loving it. Keep the platforms coming. Mary Jo Mary Anne Mary Ellen Holt Renfrew is carrying the Mary Jane shoe by Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony. I’m hoping they bring in the boots. images: openingceremony.us
Complexgeometries held their fall winter 2011 – 2012 presentation at The Westside Gentlemen’s Club. That’s right, a strip bar. Designer Clayton Evans had colour and collaborations on the mind for the season. It’s a surprisingly colourful fall winter 2011 – 2012 collection for Complexgeometries and I’m not complaining. The textile evolution of the line into fabrics other than jersey is progressing with charmeuse, silk, mohair, suede and wool. Collaborations came in the form of jewellery and shoes. Complexgeometries partnered with fellow Montreal designer, Mireille Boucher of Harakiri. See the Complexgeometries fall winter 2011 – 2012 presentation video by Jason Last. The towering platform boots came out of the minds of LD Tuttle and Complexgeometries. Clayton tells me they are 9 inches high. I’m simultaneously scared and salivating. It’s an extra 9 inches of height. Who the hell knows what I’ll use it for but I want it. I’d probably scare small children and some men. Do these qualify as Manrepller shoes? Ha Ha. Thankfully there are some more reasonable short boots available in the collaboration …
Victoria Beckham’s Fall Winter 2011 – 2012 collection was pretty damn beautiful. I’m totally impressed with her dedication and understanding of fashion design. When she first started out I pretty much dismissed her as a celebrity/designer. Over the years she has proven that she’s serious about the business. The only beef I have is with the line’s sizing. I tried on a dress at Holt Renfrew for fun. I was brought a size 8 and I couldn’t fit into. I’m technically a four. That’s a bit of warning for people. There is a specific body type and it’s one that matches Victoria. See the entire Victoria Beckham Fall Winter 2011 – 2012 Fashion Show I love so much of this collection. The yellow dresses totally blew my mind. The hangbag line is coming along nicely. They are classic and minimalist designs. images: vogue.com, thefashionspot.com
Charlotte Olympia is a girl who loves her platforms. These shoes from the spring summer 2011 collection give a lot of extra height but are a bit quirky. I really love the wedge ones. Charlotte Olympia is available at The Room in The Hudson’s Bay images: Charlotte Olympia’s facebook page
