You know those girls that just seem to have it all together? Their hair, although they would probably detest it, is always perfect. Their locks blow backwards as they speed by on their vintage bike. They’re the type of girl who loves cooking and picnics and reading and long walks in the park with their dog that looks just like them. Their whole image is further strengthened by their carefully-selected outfits, which usually include simple pieces like jeans and a tee. However, it is their attention to detail that puts them above the rest. Asymmetrical cuts, luscious fabrics or a fantastic pair of shoes usually does the trick for these gals, which is why Rag & Bone’s new Fall 2010 shoe collection, might just be their perfect fit…no pun intended.
The quirk: these shoes are actually designed for men, though it wouldn’t stop these fashion-forward females from donning a pair or two. The trick is in the classic shape and simple styling of the shoes. Rag & Bone has taken their characteristic tailored look and united it with everyone’s friend, functionality. The footwear was inspired by mountaineers’ outfits, which included heavy wool tweeds and quilted cotton. The collection is comprised of three categories: dress shoes, sneakers and hand-crafted welt and wedge shoes, making the series a well-rounded contemporary footwear line. The two-tone brogues feature a mix of English waxed suede and Italian vegetable leather — beautiful. They are perfect for fall excursions and nights out at the pub… or for the aforementioned girl to just waltz into a room with, sure to capture everyone’s attention. Visit your local Rag & Bone retailer to view the collection or check out their website www.rag-bone.com for more details.
