Crocs

Bad news for the maker of those ugly (but lovable) plastic shoes.

If Tevas and Adidas slides can make their way onto the runway... could Crocs be next?

Forget Isabel Marant x H&M -- Boo x Crocs is where it's at.

The founders of Crocs shoes may not have a designed something that even comes close to being aesthetically pleasing (In fact, the Croc was developed as a "spa shoe."), but have become wildly successful in spite of that. The company announced yesterday that full-year revenue will surpass the $1 billion mark for the first time. Yes, Crocs are increasing in popularity. The shoes that make many of us cringe on-sight have withstood a lot--constant ridicule, a hate website and a few dips in stock, including a pretty big one in 2007. But the company seems to have have put all of that behind them and are somehow inspiring people to run to the mall and buy their odd-looking hole-filled slip-ons. In addition to, and largely because of, this revenue milestone; the firm's shares went up 6.3 percent, Footwear News reports.

Ugg-ly Footwear Losing Stock Value The end of a fashion epidemic??

Crowd pleaser Coach hosted last night’s Summer Party on the High Line. There we found custom monogrammed luggage tags, Dan Humphrey (aka Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley) rocking some chest hair, and possibly even more exciting (depending on your appreciation for male cleavage): Grey Goose-spiked ice pops. After accidentally trekking our best shoes through the park’s new water feature--warning: look down or you’ll get soaked--we stumbled upon a rouge-lipped Paz de la Huerta dressed in a black Gucci number and a re-issued Coach bag. It was the Boardwalk Empire star’s first time in the park since its re-opening, “I used to come here as a child before it was the High Line,” she told us. As for the attention her lipstick’s been getting these days, she said, “The whole thing is ridiculous, it has nothing to do with the color of my clothing. Tonight I’m not wearing a red dress, and I would never match this with black lipstick.”
