Geren Ford is a lesser-know label but his collection struck me right off because in a sea of crazy, he is making real-people clothes. I want to wear these clothes and on top of that, I have places to wear these clothes. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE aspirational fashion (I wear stilettos in NY for heaven’s sake. I gotsta be crazy.) There are tons of basic blacks shoes at fashion week this year. I will share these with you, but then I will get to a particular standout from this collection: the jewelry.

But first, here are the shoes. I definitely like them; however I wouldn’t wear these shoes in NY. These suckers would get stuck in every grate from here to the Empire State Building.

Especially not these boots.

Cute they may be, but the poor model wearing them was obviously in pain as she stood on her elevated platform. She brought new meaning to The Agony of De-Feet (Da Dum Chsssssss).

So much so that at one point her knees buckled and she almost hit the floor with her skull. Fortunately, a nearby photographer caught her and, quite literally, averted disaster. I guess it’s one time the proximity of the paparazzi came in handy. As glamorous as it seems to be a model, sometimes it’s pretty dangerous. This is not the first model I have seen injured or nearly injured. It’s hard to fird perspective about someone who jets off to Milan and Paris to wear the most covetable clothes in the world.

So the jewelry at Geren Ford was lovely. It had a very rough rock-quartz, geometric look to it and I thought it was ab fab. It was provided by a small label called b-side by ken & dana. You can check out their website here. Statement jewelry is so the in thing right now and these pieces are awesome. Take a gander at the pieces from Geren Ford.
