Oh my oshkosh b'gosh

I lived in my oshkosh b'gosh dungarees as a child. A tomboy til the age of seven, I returned to my old faithfuls on several occasions after discovering skirts. As a Blossom devotee, I wore cut-off white denim dungarees with a flamenco blouse and glittery jelly sandals to my primary school leavers dance. Needless to say, I didn't get my first kiss that night. That didn't dissuade me from wearing them throughout my first year at high school, grunge style, with a plaid shirt and boots. Oh yeah!

So imagine my amazement to see them crop up once more on the catwalks this year in every imaginable incarnation, from dirty denim to leopard-trim suede. The question is - can I bring myself to wear them once more? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

These Boots Were Made For Walking

While the majority of the hipster crowd at Interview’s construction site launch party chose edgy blacks peppered with neons and prints, supermodel, actress and make-up designer Lauren Hutton looked fabulous in her AW08 equestrian inspired get-up. Proving less is more and wisdom comes with age, Hutt looks hot to trot in her Hamptons in the City threads but what’s got me in a real frenzy are those beautiful boots.
Part riding boot, part Victorian brogue, with a dash of Vivienne’s pirate and a definite nod to Ralph Lauren, I’m desperately seeking the author of these beauties. Answers on a virtual postcard please…
