Very Un-Wellies

For as long as we can remember we've always had a Wellington fobia. OK, technically it may not actually be diagnosed as a fobia, but let's at least call it a serious dislike. This God forsaken garment, ugly to the extreme, which in its right element really only serves the purpose of one thing, i.e. keeping the owner/wearer of the wellies dry. Up until a few years ago, there has been little or no selection of wellies, but since then the market seems to have gone stir crazy with all sorts of labels and models. Pucci have delivered at least one pair, Marc Jacobs have given it a go, and we've seen celebrities like Kate Moss picking up the cartoon-printed wellies such as the ones featured at ASOS. The most recent contribution to this business is the king of kitten heels, Sigerson Morrison. In his latest collection we get to choose between the most vibrant colours and full boot wellies, or even the ones pictured below; the flat "Orange Rain or Shine Skimmer-model". Somehow the concept of a pair of rubber flats just doesn't quite appeal to us, no matter how nice they are.
