Martin Margiela did some wacky stuff at his show—one shoulder, one leg loose-knit bodysuits, for instance—but he always offsets the wilder things with beautifully tailored jackets and fluid dresses. This season, I wasn't in the best mood for it, since someone had spilled red wine all over my dress. But then (and apologies for the dark picture) I became fully obsessed with these boots, with the full-length exposed back zipper. I can see myself zipping them up, grabbing an oversize python-print clutch and running out the door. And there was this other styling trick I loved as well: boots plus thick knit socks, plus super-skinny pants equals, in my opinion, a perfect fall look.
