So according to Matt Raymond's somewhat confidently named 'Trend Forecaster's Handbook', fashion as design art is set to get big, bigger than it already is (who can forget Chalayan's skirt-cum-table architecture/apparel hybrid), the cornerstone of our future one could say. Take McQueen's S/S 2010 collection of deconstructionist footwear (in the sense of "something" having more than one interpretation). It's straight to the museum or a 'deconstructed' ankle for you my dear (in the 'pre-lude to reconstructive surgery' sense).Case in point: Marloes ten Bhömer. His shoes are selling as both as footwear and artefacts, in equal measure. Not sure what my thoughts are on these....admirable use of recyclable materials and all....but the opaque tight in the last shot, really? Semi-geriatric, semi-ikea.... not so sure. Guess that's why you pop 'em on the mantlepiece instead.
