Manolo Blahnik Approves of Your Snow Boots for Fashion Week.

• The weather in NYC right now is NOT conducive to traditional Fashion Week footwear. Unless you’re down to ruin your shoes, or perhaps fracture a couple bones tripping and slipping in the ice and slush, I wager most NYFW-goers will be clad in more sensible footwear than usual. Ain’t no shame–Manolo Blahnik, the king of high heels, is also a champion for dressing appropriately in this treacherous weather. Turns out the designer is all for snow shoes, suggesting L.L. Bean boots as your best bet for looking fashionable in the snow: “ This is chic,” he told Fashionista, at an event last night, pointing to a pair Simon Doonan (standing nearby) was wearing, “I need to buy them…Tell someone to go and get me one pair of L.L. Beans, because I cannot walk in the street!” Sadly, most Bean Boots are on backorder until April, but now you know for next year! (Fashionista)
