Remember when Tommy Ton threw the whole world into fits of jealousy after shooting French Vogue’s Emmanuelle Alt wearing Isabel Marant’s studded booties mere hours after last season’s show?
Because we do - and despite their sold out status, we’re still lusting for them. So is Steve Madden. Surprised? Just another opportunity for him to cash in on someone else’s great design.
Steve’s Blitzi booties are an obvious knock-off of Isabel’s Rider. He’s managed black suede, a rounded toe and the low slung black leather strap underneath the studded cuff. His studs are silver, which is spot on, but he got lazy in the back and replaced Marant’s black suede cone heel with a chunk of square brown synthetic wood - they’re still almost $200.
Save your pennies for when Marant opens that Soho store early next year.
The editors of Dazed & Confused are obsessed with blogs, so much so that they’ve set up their own blog awards with G-Star to honor the most prolific, most eloquent and most beautiful blogs in fashion, music, photography and arts & culture.
There are fifteen blogs in each category and the winner walks away with £500 of G-star product and more importantly, a feature in the October issue of Dazed.
Who made the fashion list? One of our favorite blogs to look at, Jak&Jil, and Sabine Pieper whose illustrations we’re kind of obsessed with. Also on there is The Business of Fashion, an intellectual look at the business side of the industry that even the creatives can understand and our choice alternative to the business section of our newspaper.
Voting’s open until August 31st so start clicking.
Here She Is: Vogue’s smallest September issue in years checks in at 584 pages. Charlize Theron holds down the cover in one of the most unflattering pictures ever. {TFS}
Disposable Income: Of all the new things on Net-a-Porter, this $11,255 jumpsuit complete with a drop crotch and sequined bodice actually made us laugh out loud. They call it “the ultimate in status style.” {Net-a-Porter}
Now You Know: Did you ever wonder how Anna Della Russo, Trainas & Co. remained so damned perfect throughout hours of shows on opposite sides of pretty big cities? Well, now you know. {Sartorialist—Jak&Jil}
Really Though: Every day someone declares heels dead and flats in or platforms over and stilettos the rage, but really, don’t people just mix it up everyday? Is it so wrong to want both? {TimesUK}

POP This: Here’s your first peek at Dasha Zhukova’s POP. Looks good so far, and love anything that pairs “Margiela with Westwood, McQueen against Watanabe’s padded extravagance,” though she should stop defending herself. {Fashionologie & Interview}
Fall, For Serious: Candy & her team at Style just released their fall trend report. We’ll avoid Party Like It’s 1983 since we just barely missed that the first time around, but fully embrace Boudoir Crossing and Biker Brigade. {Style}
Rad Rad: If you’re not yet familiar with Rad Hourani, get thee to a lookbook. The dude’s going to be major. {Jak&Jil}
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie: Just how many of these bracelets on one arm would be too many? We can’t make it past the jewelry counter at J.Crew lately. Seriously, someone is doing their job very, very well. {J.Crew}
Model Citizen: Meet Damaris Lewis. She’s from Brooklyn, she’s eighteen, she’s the face of YSL and after watching this, you’ll want to eat pizza with her. {NylonTV}
One of my favorite shirts is a long sleeved navy and gray striped shirt by Vince. I wear it often and it’s super comfortable. But I don’t like how it can so easily look plain. That’s the problem with stripes: they can be chic, they can be fun, or they can be boring.
I usually make my Vince shirt pop by pairing it with an outré bottom. I once wore it with a pair of navy and white pinstriped shorts. Lately, I’ve become very interested in seeing pieces that within themselves use stripes in a new way, like this amazing jacket featured on Jak & Jil the other day.
