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

People need to stop freaking out about the fur, it's VINTAGE.
If you don't get my point from the get-go, then just nevermind.
transition of colors on the shoes..!
QUITE elegant.
admiring your -not too flashy but artistic- look!
I don't usually like cowboy boots, but these are really nice! especially on you :) perhaps the color does it ..
yay for cute new boots, and yay for Crystal Castles and Vega tonight! See ya there girl :)
I love that you wear recycled fur :)

Great idea to put them in Margritte's painting, I think he wouldn't mind if he knew (:
i gotta hand it to you...you know how to unexpectedly put an outfit together and rock the SHIT out of it. you look absolutely fabulous!
you just got yourself an avid blog follower.
Love your outfit as always...
Love your style!
it's ironic that you are wearing a coat of dead rabbits on easter
Oh wow, love the boots, they look even better worn than just alone! And they go beautifully with your outfit.

Do you even know what terror poor animals go through for you to wear that fur! and so what if it is vintage, you are still supporting the trade.
You wear too much fur.
bad bad bad!
I'm obsessed with any David Lynch film especially Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr. and when I saw these boots I thought of the same thing!
sooo awesome...it makes me think that i could go out and find a pair of white boots and spray paint the top part!!
Seriously, you have good style for your age (you are very lucky that you can afford to get new very expensive clothes a lot in this bad economy) BUT the fur, is a no no. Please take into consideration what the animals go through. I've been a follower of your blog for quite some time now, butseeing a 16-17 year old covered in very expensive clothes and lots of fur has steared me away from your blog. I'm disappointed. This comment was not meant to be hateful in anyway I just strongly believe against fur and I need to support that.
Think about who you are wearing.
Jane- I love your vintage fur and your new MMM boots.
Have a nice day,
Nini
to be honest, i feel a mixture of sadness and lust whenever i visit (every day. i'm a regular reader). everything is so beautiful. you have an exquisite house, a gorgeous family (while also being gorgeous yourself), money that never seems to run out... the list goes on. i feel this way a lot. when someone is lucky enough to have roots in a certain thing. you've grown up around fashion. my parents never graduated college, divorced, and neither of them are very cultured. i won't have the money to go to a high-end college. i have to settle for less than i want. i want to work in the fashion industry so bad, but i feel like i'll never be able to go far because i live in a shitty midwestern town with no way out. i don't know. i just feel like i had to vent. i'll say one thing: this site definitely makes me strive to be the best, and to work extremely hard. there's good that comes from this mental beating.
anyway, i still have a love-hate relationship with the blog. i'll still be visiting every day to drool and dream.
p.s. stop the fur hate. it's vintage, and would you rather have the animal die in vain or be appreciated for it's natural beauty? not everyone who wears fur is like, "OH I LOVE KILLING ANIMALS".
sorry for the extremely long post. :\
The first time I saw your boots I was like hmmmm but now I see why you like them so much. Lovely colors, and they work perfectly in the Magritte!
XOXOXO

love your hair here jane!
These are definitely the kind of boots that you have to be in love with to wear. I don't think I would, but you make them look better than I thought they'd be!
Okay, I'm loving that coat, sister. Hand it over now. LOL. Thumbs up on the recent rash of publicity. Yay, Texas!
Keep up the great work. And Kanye, if you're out there, swing by my blog sometime. ;)
Blue Velvet was my one of my movie studies in college. I think it was brilliantly made, and the actors in it were great. Isabella Rosellini is one of the most beautiful and sophisticated women ever in my book. Jane, I love those boots!
oh no! my friend went to the crystal castles show last night and they didn't even show up! what happened?! love the fur coooat. ;)
You look very cute (sans the fur ofcourse!).
so true...those images are like long lost cousins to those boots
You have the best concert outfits :)
