For those who wondered about Tamara Mellon and her new direction after Jimmy Choo, here it is: Sweet Revenge, a legging-boot combination (basically a leather footie. We should be thankful there's no top, I guess). This thing comes in two pant sizes and is recommended to be worn with "a sweater over it or a big man's shirt". Considering a good fit is nearly impossible with only two available sizes, a covered crotch is pretty much a must.
$1995 at Net-a-Porter and Sweet Revenge is all yours.
These are so hilariously over the top they literally made me laugh out loud. My first thought was that if they were on Project Runway Nina Garcia would be raising her eyebrows and quietly questioning the taste level.

Booty boots! nozknoz
ReplyDeleteUm...how does one go to the bathroom?
ReplyDelete??? you pull them down from the waist like regular trousers I should think....
DeleteHaha!! At first sight they are really funny, however, if you were one of the two sizes, had money to burn and wore them with a cosy long sweater over a buttondown shirt, they'd be supercool. Definitely only for people who get that leggings are not trousers, though.
ReplyDeleteI thought these were funny, too. I went to look at them on Net a Porter and they are basically sold out...
ReplyDeleteForget fitting in the crotch, how the heck are these things supposed to fit your feet if they come in only two sizes? For $2,000, I won't be finding out myself, but I do wonder.
ReplyDeleteJust checked NAP, and they actually come from shoe size 36 to 41 and legging size from XS to L in each shoe size, so a bit more than two then.
ReplyDeleteI think it's XS/S or M/L for each shoe size - so it is basically two sizes for each shoe size, though you have a range of shoe sizes to choose from....
DeleteAlso on NAP, the model is wearing 37.5 XS/S - that should probably be my size (my shoe size is 37.5), except I'm 5'3 and the NAP model is 5'10, so I don't know how that would work....
