Fashion Update: Cool reception
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THERE are always a few monsters - fashion folk call them Fashion Don'ts - at the collections. A gold star this season then to Katharine Hamnett, who slyly slipped in a pair of leg-warmers as part of her show. The Italians, who perhaps didn't wear them in 1976, didn't flinch. The Brits did.
We weren't that keen on the return of the white stiletto either - this time reinvented by the elegant house of Gucci. For next winter, Gucci is suggesting we exchange the snaffle-bit loafer for a spiky, three-inch-heeled stiletto, complete with snaffle on the front.
Not quite the footwear that real Gucci customers would find practical for tramping about country lanes. And, in any case, surely the new white versions are much more Sharon than Charlotte.
