First of all, I must apologize for my not keeping up with this blog. I've been relaxing over the break, but I will be back full force on the 6th-ish.
I just found out something absolutely AWESOME. Fabulous shoe designer Stuart Weitzman has decided to forgo production of his annual Million-Dollar shoe. Why?
"There will be no Million Dollar shoe for the Oscars this year. With so many people struggling financially, and unemployment at 10 percent, I don't think it is appropriate. The actresses still want to go for glamour, but this year it will be more understated." (courtesy of Perez Hilton)
LOVE IT, and it's so true. Designers, editors, and all members of the fashion world should be mindful of the current economic crisis. It's not appropriate to continue hawking frivolous overpriced items in the current economic climate.
Hats off to you, Stuart Weitzman.
Keep it classy and fabulous!
xoxo, Laura
P.S. Germany may not be in as much trouble as those of us stateside, but German company GnG should take note of Stuart Weitzman's way of thinking.
