Until I stumbled upon the Shoe the Bear SS12 lookbook, I didn’t think that such serious and sophisticated shoes could ever be put into such silly situations and still manage to look appealing. Of course, it is the person that makes the clothes and not the clothes that make the person.
The Shoe the Bear SS12 lookbook shows just how much control a person has over his look in a fun and lighthearted manner. Although the footwear showcased is decidedly classic, the sandy, pseudo-adventurous scenarios really shows off their full potential. From wrestling blow-up alligators to beheading ape-costumed people, the Shoe the Bear SS12 collection doesn’t take itself too seriously, making the light canvas, fine leather and suede materials stand out even more.
