Manolo says, perhaps the Manolo was wrong to say it is acceptable.

You Can Be Too Thin
Madrid bans too-thin models from catwalk – Yahoo! News MADRID (AFP) – Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls,…

Regardless, these shoes would be wrong even if it was BEFORE Labor Day.
I believe you did also say if the shoe LOOKS GOOD. These most obviously do not fall into that category. One must consider the whole look to create a stunning affect. No?
I love Elton, but seriously: couldn’t he afford someone to tell him how to get a decent suit? LOOK AT THE LEGS! The long jacket and the white shoes shortens the legs more than necessary…and he doesn’t have a lot of leg to begin with. Plus, I totally don’t get the hair. Color, hairline, styling – everything is just off.
Imagine if he wore a nice, elegant suit, shirt and tie, let his “hair” go silver/saltandpeppergray and just put everything into having the world’s most exuberant glasses?
Oh God, my eyes!
What can you really expect from Elton………….have you all forgotten the 70′s?
Sweet mother of God. What IS that thing?
Bless him! He needs a new dresser. As a Brit, I don’t understand the rule about white after labor day, can someone explain?
Oh, for pete’s sake — it’s ELTON! He’s a freak of nature, like a hummingbird or those flowers that bloom every 100 years. Normal rules do not apply. Just smile and enjoy him.
PS… Andy — conventional American Fashion Wisdom has until very recently dictated that white shoes should only be worn between Memorial Day (in May) and Labor Day (early September), those holidays more or less bracketing “summer” in this country. It has been an iron-bound Fashion Absolute for several generations, and its decline is causing much consternation and confusion, liberating though it may be.
See … mama was right!
Without people abandoning “rules” in favor of what makes sense there would be no change nor growth. That having been said, you still won’t find me wearing white shoes after Labor Day or before Memorial Day and, as another example, I will not wear corduroy in summer. Call me a dinosaur if you want to, but to me there is a specialness about dressing in clothing particular to the season.
Andy — I think our summer-bracketing holidays coincide within a week or so each of the Queen’s (official) Birthday and the September Bank Holiday.
He’s been to WalMart.
What was he thinking? Or rather, what was his stylist thinking? Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. They look like those white plastic shoes you find on Ken dolls.
It just proves that it’s not cool to wear white after Labor Day……..I MEAN, COME ONE! I know he’s the RocketMan and the Bitch Is Back & all that, but white after Labor Day just does not look good. Especially paired with a DARK SUIT!
