MARTIN MARGIELA DEGRADE COWBOY BOOTS-warped classics

 

*love the signature Margiela stitch on the back of these boots.*

As I said in my previous post, there was something about this pair of boots that was immediately compelling to me. They spoke to me in a way that NO SHOE has ever spoken to me before.

And when they spoke they said a lot of things to me.

It's a beautiful boot, no doubt-and being born and raised in Texas, I've always had a thing for cowboy boots. These boots have a dash of Texas trash to them, with a heap of surrealismo lumped in. They are the prototypical warped classic.

Yes...a warped classic...kind of like these things.

The first thing that popped into my mind were some of my favorite David Lynch movies; blue roses (Twin Peaks: Fire, Walk With Me), blue nails (Wild at Heart), blue eyeshadow (Blue Velvet),  blue curtains, , blue hair (Mullholand Drive), blue skies (most Lynch movies, but especially Wild at Heart)...and of course, Blue Velvet. These blue boots could have totally made a cameo in any of those movies. 

Some stills from Blue Velvet.

Yes, these boots have something very surreal about them...in fact they wouldn't look so out of place in a Magritte...the suit the color scheme of Fair Captive quite well.

(Okay, I'm done with desecrating Magritte for the rest of my life. I apologize..really.)

I wore them yesterday, to our Easter dinner. My sister made a bunny cake. It was a delicious feast, you should go see it on my mom's blog. Here are some really lame pictures of my outfit!

Wearing a vintage fur and thrifted dress. 

My friend Ronnie (he's in a super cool band called Vega) is playing with Crystal Castles at the Granada Theater tomorrow so I have to come up with something fun to wear! Probably with the Margiela cowboy boots.

TTYL, xox Jane

I completely love those boots, would love to have a similar pair. I totally agree about them being warped classic. Great easter outfit, saw the feast on your mom's blog, looked delish. Have fun at that show, I love Crystal Castles!

Blue Velvet, bizarre crime story and a ear... silly me what do I know?

[Jules]

My grandparents live in Texas, and their backyard has that exact fence! It's eerie. And you know... I love the boots. Not my thing, but they are so enthralling to look at.

[grace]

great new header! i love it

and congrats on the new babies!

[shay]

Those boots are wonderful, I love how they look covered in dust, like you've been on a walk in the desert. Sort of romantic somehow...

[The Six Six Sick Girls]

I'm totally into the Lynchian reference. Those shoes are surreal.

[Leia]

I don't think I could wear those boots but you look fab as usual! And Carol's cake looks sooo cute - I need to find myself a bunny mold! :)

[Madelene]

I love David Lynch films.

[BRAINZ OF DOOOOOOOOOM]

your reasoning for liking cowboy boots is parallel to my reasoning for not liking them hahaha

[Vintage Tea]

[londoner]

love this post, love your style, love this blog! you look beautiful!

[MANFOX]

AMAZING boots, I'm wondering... is the detail sprayed onto them too to make it look 3D? probably, hey?
hence your surrealism references!

[dana]

dear jane,
i am so in love with those boots, but until now i have only seen them in plain back or white. i hope you don't mind me asking: where did you get them?

thank you

[Elsa]

Blue Velvet - best David Lynch film, imo.

(although Mulholland Drive comes in at a close second...)

Oh, and the boots are nice too, ha.

[Hannah]

What wonderful shoes!!! I agree with the whole warped classic thing.
And your sister makes an amazing rabbit cake! :)

[Stephanie]

When I first saw those boots on your previous post, I had similar thoughts--that they look surreal. Indeed they're very Lynchian, Magrittesque....the stuff of warped dreams. I thought your references were spot-on!
And wearing the rabbit(?) fur coat on Easter....How tongue-in-cheek; love it!

[Fab Brunette]

Those boots are magical. They are gorgeous. I need a pair. Thanks for your crazy posts!

[Talk Pretty To Me]

Those are lovely cowbow boots! They have a really nastalgic feeling to them. I have been searching for a pair of cowboy boots too, but have yet to come across anything like this. they are hauntingly beautiful. j'adore.

[Emma]

Those boots are ridiculously cool! My mother collects cowboy boots, I'll have to have her check these out.
Your blog is always inspiring. I'd be so happy if you'd take a look at mine!

I adore these boots, they're just so damn cool. Perfect for a Texas girl. I'm gonna have to try and DIY them, it's been on my mind since I saw them in the Barney's shoe catalog.
