The affordable LeggingShoes™ aka PantaShoes or Knife Over The Knee Boots are here!




Our friends at Elastic Wonder did it again and came up with the affordable LeggingShoes™. In case you haven't heard about Balenciaga's version the PantaShoes, let me fill you in. This new pair of leg/shoe wear for women are a hybrid of pants and shoes combined - or in Elastic Wonder's case it's leggings and shoes. They have a body conscious fit and are inspired by fetish catsuits. On the runway they look something like this:

Needless to say the designers at Elastic Wonder became obsessed with this new fashion fetish and they guessed right and predicted that there must be countless women searching for a pair of affordable quality PantaShoes right about now. Just as they did.

There were only a few really bad copies of the Pantashoes on the market: too sheer, made with low quality fabric that does not stretch back (no recovery), does not stretch enough or stretches too little depending on your shoe and body size (you can't choose your body size!) and really uncomfortable shoes.

Facing the seemingly only option of spending $2850 on a pair of Balenciaga PantaShoes. The design team decided to make a pair themselves. If you think that's a bit ambitious and you're asking "What are your qualifications?" While that's a fair question, remember that those folks are specialized in leggings own their own fashion label and know the do's and don't's of working with spandex fabric, all they had to do was change the pattern to include the cover of a stiletto shoe!

And here is the prototype. Fabulous, smooth and sexy. But that's not all! During their limited pre-sale month Elastic Wonder decided to let their early adopters pick their favorite color from over 80 different ones.



Choose a minty green or a fabulous orchid. It's up to you, then pick your legging size and your shoe size.

It's all designed to be a really great purchase for you. Sorry Balenciaga! But why let the celebrities have all the fun when you can have the same style?!

Meanwhile the LeggingShoes™ cost $247 and come in all colors.

A Striking Postcards Series That Aims To Soothe Your Daily Urge To Protest

"The scenery is beautiful - wish you were here" postcards from the past indeed no longer paint an accurate picture of the reality of 99% of Americans. In 2018 we have an existential crisis with homelessness at an all time high and a lack of affordable housing.

Back in 2011 some folks started a movement in New York City called "Occupy Wall Street" against corporate corruption and rising inequality, receiving global attention and spawning a surge against economic inequality. Today in 2018 we feel the need to protest daily and we are reminded of what the original protest of the new Millennium stood for and foretold us would happen if nothing was done. Not enough was done and happening it is.
Photographer Carl Posey was on location in 2011 and his captures of the Occupy Wall Street Protest portray priceless historic documentation. 
Carl's newly launched Indiegogo campaign aims to soothe your daily urge to protest by providing a stunning collection of postcards, which are soon to be mailed around the world.

about IDILVICE

New York, NY, United States
Just like the rare Swiss mountain flower Edelweiss - a symbol of prestige and distinction - the clothing brand IDILVICE (pronouced "Edel-vice") was born in the mountains of Switzerland and since then it's flourishing on the concrete of Manhattan and recently even in the rolling hills of the San Francisco Bay Area. However as the spelling indicates, the label is not meant to be associated with too much folkloric alpine tradition, but rather and probably in the contrary, with unconventionality. The IDILVICE label was founded in 1995 by Swiss Native fashion designer Idil from the city of Saint Gallen, Switzerland, who's foundation dates back to the 7th Century and which became famous for their quality textile products, especially embroidery textiles, which are still popular with Parisian Haute Couture designers today. In search for something less traditional, Master Graphic Designer Idil ventured out to New York City where she fell in love with American Pop Culture.
