Shoes and Music #1 in a series - New Model Army

Last night at my friend Jess's house in Stokie, we were talking about old bands we loved. Jess recounted a tale of being stuck in the mosh pit at a New Model Army gig and how painful it was because of the bands' (and fans) penchant for wearing proper Northern England clogs. So I've decided to start a series on here - shoes and music, there is so much association of certain shoes with certain bands, I think it could run and run!
So - I bring you - New Model Army and clogs

http://www.clogs.co.uk/ the clogs being the North of England type of clogs where only the sole (and not the entire shoe) is wooden.

Does this happen to you?

You see a shoe and a bizarre thought pops into your head? I'm looking at the cruise collections on Neiman Marcus - I just showed this wooden platform to my business partner,Toby, he reckons this is, 'the kind of shoe that Grace Jones might wear to 'stamp on people's heads.' Really?

Moar Clogs FTW!!111!!!!

You know when a trend is a big one when Private Eye get in on the act. Supermodels cartoon from the current issue.

Everyone is talking about clogs

Before we go any further, are those imitation tanlines or some freaky kind of stockings? WTF?

Aaaanyway, the buzz around the shoe trade is clogs, clogs, clogs for SS2010.

I've posted these Chanel catwalk designs, these were part of the collection inspired by Marie Antoinette and her *cough* farm. I think it's very apt that Karl Lagerfeld should draw inspiration like this in these recent times, as the fashion world has a current Marie Antoinette, the fashion journalist Liz Jones, who feeds her pet chickens on organic pasta from Carluccios.
