New shoes trend?

I've seen on some runways the return of the pointy front shoe. I have to tell that I really don't like it! But I guess we have had nice round (à la Louboutin) or strappy heels for far too long now and it's time to give the other shoes a chance too. I do have to admit those LV are to die for and who would say no to these new Prada beauties?






On a different note, I haven't made a whole lot of progress in the Suzy Menkes Project. I've been busy and they are nearly 3000 articles... I've read 3, and I can tell you that she started reviewing books. She reviewed the first one in December 1988 and the next one a year after that. Then on November 1990 another. Finally, In July 1991 she wrote her first article. It was about Princess Diana. And that's where I'm at the moment... but promise to read a lot more in the nearest future!!

The Suzy Menkes Project

I met Suzy in Paris last year. She's not what you'd expect from fashion's most feared reviewer. She's the friendliest most lovely person you could imagine. And she's so talented! No doubt she does what she does for a reason: she's good at it. So... to discover how she got there, I've taken it upon myself to read every piece she's ever written for the IHT, since she started there in 1988. No small feat for she's written a little over 2700 articles! But I think this is the best way to understand her professional journey and get her unique writing style. I'll report my findings.
