THERE’S A BEAR IN WHERE?

One of the Despotic Queen’s favourite mid-market menswear brands, Jack London, has teamed up with Danish footwear brand Shoe the Bear to produce a ‘special seasonal range’ of soft-soled leather hi-tops for the Melbourne based retailer.

Of course this isn’t the kind of news that lifts the Despotic Queen’s skirts, nor would it normally rouse my nubs of tyranny to the keyboard - so why then, I hear you cry, am I reporting it?

After reading Susie Mesure’s counter-offensive (Fluff flies as fashion writers pick a cat fight with bloggers) where Robert Johnson, associate editor at the men's magazine GQ, said bloggers “don't have the critical faculties to know what's good and what's not”. Which came hot on the heels of watching Mary Scherpes video On Fashionblogs (to be featured during Berlin Fashion Week) whereby Suzy Menkes made the claim that bloggers are at risk of losing their status as independent fashion critics because PR’s are now bloggers seeding stories.

I wanted to a) post something that was ‘seeded’ to me by a PR company and b) make the observation that after dominating the casual/sneaker market for nearly 6 years the consumer’s appetite for plimsoll shoes (despite several emerging micro trends that suggest we’re heading back to a chunkier 1990’s silhouette) shows no signs of abating!
