The original French Punk , Jean Paul Gaultier has teamed with British combat boot maker, Dr. Marten. With laser -cut diamond holes on each side of the boot, it now matters what socks you’ll be wearing. I would with go hot pink socks! These 14 hole Doc’s will run about 300 Euros, which is probably $5,000 with all the inflation and the ‘obnoxious American’ tax. You know Europe probably has an ‘Obnoxious American’ tax by now. It’s been lowered since Obama took over, though. Kidding! I wish they had these boots in the mid -nineties when I would actually wear these. It’s funny, the Doc’s were worn by the punk anarchists and the conservatives wore Keds. I tell you-when in doubt, look at the shoes.

British newcomer, Gemma Slack, has designed a sexy collection perfect for combat. With chest plates and metal chain linked vests, this collection reflects on bondage and medieval themes without teetering on the side of cheezy goth store Hot Topic. That chain vest looks like something Houdini would wear. The back bone dress is my favorite! It looks scorpion-ish! Like early Alexander McQueen, Slack is one to watch and this is only the beginning! Check out her complete collection at her site here.
PS - A little trivia- Slack hails from Sheffield, UK- the same city that gave us The Human League! Yay! (I love that bouncing red ball)
