BobHH Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Our local newspaper had an article last week bylined Fort Worth, Texas, which claimed heels were dead and "everyone" was going to comfy flats. No more Manolo Blahniks, it said, quoting Texas society types. I worried about whether this was just Texas or ? Today's Los Angeles Times has an article on Fall 2003 men's fashions (what? Spring isn't even here, yet!). It is titled "His and hers - for him," and shows colorful "feminine" styles for men as displayed in Milan. One picture shows a Vivienne Westwood male model with falsies and a bra under a sweater, looking rather feminine. One sentence in the article reads "Next season's clothes have one foot in the past and the other maybe in a stiletto."

Sandalslover Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I agree with you, bobHH, 100%. Females in big cities are going for lower and lower heels....and you can understand why: long distances, crowded streets, etc. I have to request formally to my wife to wear high heels and skirts because since Yves St.Laurent begun to masculinize his ladies....all of them want to wear long pants, flats... We should begin to talk about the "masculinism" against the feminism to get females in skirts, high heels, sandals an so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonpaul Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 not in london - the place is crawling with high heels after a bit of a lull in the mid ninetys. I drove through the city yesterday morning at about 7.30pm and must have seen at least a 100 pairs of 3 1/2 inch + heels and a fair few 4 1/2 inch +. lovely. WHAT A TOWN!!!

Firefox Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Heels will alway be "talked in and out" of the fashion scene. I mean. otherwise the fashion gurus wouldn't have anything to write would they? But the reality is that they will always be around so don't worry too much.
