The thigh's the limit
"They are the newest thing for that fashionista girl," says Julia Brownstein, senior ladies' buyer at Browns shoe shop. And because we haven't seen them reach this far up the leg before, the look is very new, interesting and edgy, she says.
"In some cases, you didn't know if it was a legging or a boot," Susie Sheffman, the fashion director of Fashion magazine, says of these milehigh boots that figured prominently in many designers' fall collections.
At Rodarte in New York, they were strapped and buckled for a fetishistic bondage look. At Gucci in Milan, they were leggingtight and bionic looking. In Paris, Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs presented baroque gold boots laced with velvet ribbons.
Miuccia Prada sent out sporty rubber hip waders more suitable for the cover of Outdoor Living than Vogue.
For more sidewalk friendly versions, these thigh scrapers are available at Browns in leather, suede, pleather and stretch satine, and according to Brownstein, they are already marching out the store.
"You know something is hot and new when the weather is not there yet but it's selling," says Brownstein.
Kate Alexander Daniels, owner of the public relations agency DanielsStephenson, attended a Holt Renfrew cocktail party last week in her new Yves Saint Laurent high boots.
"I feel very empowered in them," she says. "A boot like that, with personality and edge you can't help but carry yourself differently."
At Sesso, a tiny shoe shop in Hazelton Lanes, chocolate brown suede thighhigh boots retailing for $1,895 were on hold for the Toronto Star's photo shoot, but a customer demanded the store relinquish them because she wanted to buy them immediately. The store did.
The hemline theory states that stock prices move in the same direction as hemlines. So the trend to thighhigh boots, which are pushing skirts even shorter, could be seen as a sign that the economy is indeed on an upswing.
Regardless,[url=http://www.floware.fr]michael kors paris[/url], fashion is still focused on the leg due to the stillpowerful legging trend.
"This huge resurgence of these boots is just an extension of leggings, which are so popular . women just don't want to give up, says Sheffman. "The leg is now the new erogenous zone."
Thighhigh boots have always had a fetishistic flavour. And thanks to Pretty Woman, they also have a lingering connection with streetwalkers rather than street style.
Which brings us to the question: How do you avoid looking like your working hours are after dark and your office is the corner of Jarvis and Carlton?
"It's the way you wear it now," Sheffman says.
Pretty Woman was about a short tight dress and pointytoed boots. The modern way to wear your boots is with loose tunics, boyfriend jackets or long, knit dresses, with the top of the boot meeting or going higher than the hem of your dress to create a long clean line, the fashion director says.
