• Victoria Beckham made the rather unexpected decision to send her models down the runway yesterday in flats designed by Manolo Blahnik. A curious choice from the woman who once said the only trend she couldn’t pull off were flats. Vogue.com chatted with Blahnik about the brouges he designed for Beckham’s Spring 2013 offerings: “I am very happy that she used flat shoes and I think it is very refreshing and elegant to wear boyish flats with dresses,” he said. “She loved the classic men’s brogues that we do, so we created a women’s version for her.” (Vogue UK)

What? How tasteless and tacky for the idiot above squinting his eyes. Guess they’ll never change. Very excited for Posh spice Spring line!

Smh I won’t even go in on the Hollister models (although I really want to)
I too was very shocked after viewing the VB show, but I think flats were a great choice.
It’s sort of a hobby for me to go back and look at old fashion shows. McQueen and McQueen for Givenchy as well as Dior (Galliano era) are my favs. Naomi is such a pleasure to watch.
