Vivienne Westwood's shares her opinion on extreme heels...

viviennewestwood_quote.jpg
"The shoe is theatrical, beautiful, and clothes and accessories have the effect of giving one a role to play. To walk in very high heels with an in-built platform you need to draw the body up straight and centred. One can't help but feel powerful, beautiful, when wearing them."

New to Guide: Totokaelo



Before Totokaelo came Totokaelo.com the online shop and before that came Impulse the more casually minded sister store. The history of its rise runs parallel with the rise of a more fashion friendly Seattle. Now, in the gallery like space built out using reclaimed and salvaged materials the journey nears completion. On the long racks of clothing are represented several world-class avant-garde designers that are impossible to find in other Seattle boutiques. But name dropping is not Totokaelo's game. Each collection carried is boiled down to essential looks that are distinctive without looking overdone; that can worn to the point of being worn out. Neutral tones and subtly stylish silhouettes abound.




Address:
913 Western Avenue
Seattle WA 98103

Gareth Pugh Fall 2008 at Seven





Capturing the spirit of Gareth Pugh's surreal presentations and turning them into wearable, rack ready pieces seems an almost intractable problem. But his team is showing themselves capable of doing it, because with every season we see more of Pugh's looks being translated to retail. Seven has a the latest from his Fall 2008 collection and the funny thing is they probably don't even rank in the top 3 most audacious lines currently at Seven (see their Bernhard Willhelm or Romain Kremer looks for example). Which isn't to say they aren't kind of awesome, because they are.
