I trust Alexander Wang to be way ahead of the fashion curve, so when I saw these new black leather boots, I fell in love (although many of my friends don’t understand why).
I wouldn’t use the word ‘pretty’ to describe these combat hi-tops, but there is definitely something that draws me towards these odd clunkers ridden with heavy buckles and deemed the “Frankie Creeper” by Alexander Wang himself.
It will be interesting to see non-believers rocking Frankenstein footwear next season… just you wait and see.
