Over time there are obviously going to be trends that come about that some people will love and some people will hate. Trends that were amazing in the 30’s or the 60’s that were amazing at the time but just aren’t going to catch on now. Or sometimes there’ll be trends that will constantly be recycled and renewed, and no matter what happens, they will always be a popular trend that will be a hit year in year out. I get it, fashion is constantly trying to be controversial and interesting, regurgitating fashion trends from the past and adapting them for today’s society.

But when I first saw those pictures of the dreaded Brothel Creepers on the feet of celebrities like Rihanna, Alice Dellal and Jessie J to name a few, I couldn’t help but sit and despair as to what anyone sees in these brick like blocks attached to the bottom of their legs. I just don’t get it? They’re supposed to be a huge fashion statement today. Of course they make a statement, but fashionable, really?

Okay, so I understand fully that some people love them, as we all have different tastes and opinions, but what I can’t get my head around is as to why these people love them. They just look like they’re weighing whover is wearing them down to the ground as if they’re going to blow away like a single balloon in the sky. As an avid leopard print wearer, maybe I can see how the animal print creepers might be mildly acceptable, but it’s absolutely beyond me when shoe stores like Office bring out a bright purple or sickly blue pair out. And as for the name - Brothel Creepers - those two words solely put me off them.

I guess you could call my outlook on fashion quite one dimensional, but I just can’t see how these are going to last. Let’s just hope they don’t hang around as long as that whole ‘Crocs’ fad while on holiday that just didn’t seem to leave like a bad lingering smell.
