Socks over shoes marched smartly down the catwalk at Francesco di Giorgi's Fall Winter 2010-11 show in Milan. White tights, fishnets and ribbed knit knee-high and ankle socks were worn over platform wedges, which elongated the leg and created a seemingly endless silhouette.
Tomorrow, take a cue from Francesco di Giorgi and defy convention: get dressed backwards. Forget Superman and his ubiquitous pants over trousers routine--I recommend wearing your socks over shoes.
Implications - This unique runway concept may not be making its way onto the streets anytime soon, but it certainly brought unique flavor to di Giorni's collection and made waves in the audience. And ladies, if the backwards dress up concept does catch on, it might mean an end to those unbearable nights out in heels!
