In 1971, Manolo Blahnik created shoes for the designer Ossie Clark's catwalk show in London. Relatively new to shoemaking, the Spanish designer forgot to put steel pins in the heels of the shoes, which meant that models wobbled, unbalanced, down the catwalk.

"There's been a lot of just public transit fervor going on. I have always taken the MBTA, so it's definitely a sight I'm familiar with."

I love knitting things from film and television. My big magnum opus is I did the Oaken sweater from Frozen, which I designed the chart for. I also happened to really love Project Hail Mary. I read the book about a year ago, and I absolutely loved it. So when the first trailer dropped in October [2025], I immediately clocked this sweater because I had seen the pattern previously.

At Shoptalk 2023, companies unveiled innovative tools that place AI at the forefront of commerce, reflecting a significant shift in retail dynamics.

The new store preserves the building's historic character-keeping original brick walls exposed-while layering in contemporary materials such as metallic finishes, reflective surfaces, and semi‑gloss flooring.

Despite having to haul a dozen dumpster-loads of damaged goods out of the offices and the nearby Lab Store, to the tune of $1.5 million, Eileen said at the time, 'It was just stuff.' You can only imagine the emotions that might arise in a chief executive if they saw their sewage-soaked products floating by. Eileen and her staff did not linger there. They mobilized quickly-organizing carpools, impromptu meeting spaces, and arranging interest-free loans for staff needing cash during the crisis.

"When it's hot or humid, the longevity of your makeup really starts with how you prep the skin. I always begin with a smoothing primer to create grip, followed by a lightweight, breathable complexion product rather than anything overly heavy."

The safari jacket owes much of its makeup to this lighter-weight cousin. Safari jackets were worn by troops in all the warm-weather colonial trips made by the turn of the (20th) century European powers.

There's a certain playfulness that I want to bring to the home category, just like fashion. Nothing in the line is overly precious. I try not to take it all too seriously.

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.

Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.
