Obviously the models' physiques are extraordinary. We wanted to use these amazing thigh-high boots that were extra long. The over-the-knee boot usually goes halfway up your upper leg, but we brought some of our boots all the way up as far as we could to elongate the silhouette. And to give that impact they wanted — it's a show, so everything needs to be exaggerated.
The team fell in love with one of my fringe boots from last fall and wanted them for the "Boho Psychedelic" theme, so they made wings around the beauty of the boot. The pattern of the wings was actually cut into the boots' fringe, and you never lose the motif while [Martha Hunt] was walking. It's a constant movement from the design of the boots.
