It goes without saying: This winter’s must-have fashion item is the chunky heel. The trendy style of boot, resurrected only this year, appear to be making a lasting impression on the fashion community. This article, entitled “Boots march to superstardom,” sets the tone as such:
No longer an afterthought to a collection, boots are now seen as an integral part of creating an image for a line, as well as a useful new revenue stream and a means of brand extension. And after handbags, shoes, sunglasses and hats, designers want to make boots the latest must-have accessory for fashionistas to covet and acquire.
Last night, though, the chunky heel was about as useful as a Diet Coke at Christmas dinner. The fashion accessory on this night had to be the winter-time scarf. Has the Drake Hotel ever seen as many scarves as it did last night? Probably. But the most peculiar sight was at the end of the night, when there was no left-over scarves on the ground. Drake, by the way, is known as the icon of Parkdale gentrification. In other news, the Islands, aka the ‘Corn Gang, have sold beats to the Swollen Members.
