One of my favourite places in the world to go for a Fashion
Fix is Dover Street Market. Its eclectic mix of up-and-coming designers and
classic tailoring (with the odd stuffed animal in a glass cabinet) provides me
with an abundance of wardrobe inspiration for the coming season. On my last visit,
I was mesmerised by this stunning Alaїa creation; his trademark body-sculpting,
hourglass design in sumptuous black shiny crocodile skin. It was at that moment
I decided that I was not going to make it through Autumn/ Winter without an
element of this material in my life.
Having tore myself away from the mannequin, accepting that I
MIGHT not splash out on the £3,000 beauty, I found these at a car boot sale.
Ignoring the fact that they were ever so slightly small on me, I bought and
displayed them in the house oh so proudly. After many unsuccessful attempts of
feet shrinking I have listed them on eBay so that they can be aptly strutted
down the street the way Azzedine Alaїa intended!
