The ‘chic punk’ look, complete
with zips, buckles and chains is set to be the latest footwear fashion
for winter 2003. But whereas yesterday’s rebels, misfits and anti-heroes
had to head to the Kings Road for their footwear, today’s fashionistas
can get the look at their local shopping centre.
Footwear fashion guru
Beverley Wheeler at Shoe Express believes that while 1977 may have
been the year that punk fashion spewed out onto the streets, 2003
is going to see punk influenced shoe styles hit the high street
near you.
Wheeler, Women’s Footwear
Buyer at Shoe Express, shouted:
“Chic punk is the
footwear trend for women wanting to make a fashion statement with
serious attitude this winter.
“A number of the top
designers, including Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana and Jil Sander
all drew inspiration from Malcolm Mclaren and Vivienne Westwood’s
original punk designs for their autumn/winter 2003 collections.
“Today’s chart toppers,
such as Pink, Kelly Osborne and the sulky teen sensation Avril
Lavigne have also helped resurrect the spirit of 1977 with their
outrageous punk-inspired stage gear.
“What we’ve done at
Shoe Express is to translate some of these looks for the high
street. We’ve also stuck up two-fingers to three-figure designer
pricing by giving our boots a price-tag even the most anarchist
and anti-capitalist of fashion followers would appreciate.”

Odyssey
|
Shoe Express’s chic punk
styles range from over-the-knee black synthetic stretch boots with
three-inch stiletto for girls with serious attitude to black leather
pointed toe boots with buckle and strap. The over-the-knee Odyssey
boot has a viciously competitive price at £35.00, while the strapped
Labyrinth boot also kicks in at £35.00.
Wheeler added:
“We’re not talking
about the original punk look. Dr Martens and outsize shoes with
five inch crepe soles are definitely not the fashion. Nor do we
recommend accessorising the look by throwing vegetable dye on
your hair to colour a freshly hacked orange, green or blue Mohican.
“Instead, try the
chic punk boots for adding an edge to your black wardrobe staples.
Black satin bombers with micro minis fit the look well, while
add a hint of tartan for a more shocking image.”
Both the Odyssey and
the Labyrinth are available across the anarchic UK in sizes three
to eight from all branches of Shoe Express.
