Did you hear that Alexander McQueen is suing Steve Madden for copying one of his designs? We know! Steve Madden accused of copying – who’d have believed it?
We somehow doubt McQueen will have much trouble with copies of this latest collection, for Spring/Summer 2o10, though – if, of course, they ever go into production. Take a look at our gallery to see why. (Click on the thumails to view full-size)

The words ‘Very Hot’ in the title of this post are Emanuel Ungaro’s, not ours. We’re… not sure about these shoes. In fact, we’re not really sure about ANYTHING produced by a brand that calls Lindsay Lohan its “creative director”. That scares us a little if we’re totally honest.
But back to the shoes. Anything that describes itself as “Very Hot” seems like it’s just desperate to be challenged on that assessment, and so we ask you: ARE these shoes Very Hot? Or are they just very… not?

The shoes won’t be available to purchase until November 14th (and even then, you’ll probably be lucky to get your hands on a pair), but the first images of the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection were released this month, so naturally we want to know what you think. Will you be lining up to fight over them, or will you give this one a miss? Prices range from 40 – 200 euros.

At last! Shoes that have, not just a face, but a tail, too! And whiskers! Haven’t you always wanted your shoes to have a tail and whiskers? Oh, come on, they’ll go perfectly with the Kermit jacket and Fozzie bear sweater!
Made by Jean Charles De Castelbajac, these shoes re-define the phrase “leopard print”, giving us, not just the print, but the entire animal. We have to admit, they did make us smile, but as for paying $746 to actually wear them? We’re going to say “no” to that.
And hope the shoes don’t bite us for it…

Ooh, look, an ankle boot! That’s nice. Wonder what it looks like from the other side?
Whoops, our mistake! We must’ve somehow uploaded a picture of a strappy sandals by mistake. Or … wait:

Brrrr! Starting to get a bit chilly now, isn’t it? And as those Autumn nights draw in, we know you’ll all be looking for ways to continue wearing plastic flip-flops without freezing, right? Well, shoe brand Sanuk has the answer: it’s called the Tube Flop, and as you can see, it’s the unholy alliance of flip-flops and tube socks. (Or “legwarmers” as we would call them.)
Flip-flops and tube socks, flip-flops and tube socks. Nope, no matter how many times we say it, it never sounds any better. Or looks any better, actually, because seriously: if you really MUST attach socks to sandals, is there any reason the socks must be so damn ugly? The ones in the middle, for instance, remind us of a pair of curtains from the 70s. That someone threw up on.
And we’d also like to take issue with this rash statement from Zappos:
“Wearing socks and sandals used to be an absolute fashion faux pas; now, it’s a chic statement!”
No, Zappos. No, it’s really not. Just trust us on that one.
[Thanks to Officer Ma'at for the report!]

 Tartan’s big this winter. What do you mean, AGAIN?
This kind of tartan, though? This kind is only big in the Fashion Police jail. And, of course, at certain Irregular Choice outlets. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

 Because Ugg boots just weren’t ugly enough the way they were, apparently.
Now, The Fashion Police are unashamed Ugg apologists. We see them as purely practical footwear, which come in handy for walking the dog in the winter, but which we’d no more wear as “fashion” items than we’d go out in public in our pyjamas.
These, though. These are just bed socks with soles, aren’t they?
These were reported by Rock Hyrax, who reckoned the stripey ones were probably the worst. We’d have to agree with that, but if you disagree, and want to buy yourself some, you’ll find some more information here.

 It was really only a matter of time before this happened, wasn’t it? It’s almost winter, which means we can expect to see lots of Ugg and Ugg-style boots around. And this winter is all about the thigh high, so, hey, why not make Ugg-style thigh highs?
Why not indeed. These boots are by Australia Luxe Collective, and are £280. The top section is not sheepskin, and folds down to knee-height, so you get two styles for the price of one. Whether those are two styles that you’d actually want to wear, of course, is entirely up to you.
