During the recent women's wear shows I found myself on a bench at Tao Comme des Garçons (Tao being one of the young labels that is being developed under the CdG umbrella) sandwiched between Ikram Goldman, the eponymous owner of a store in Chicago, and Tricia Jones, editor of special projects for ID magazine. All of us looked with great desire at the shoes the models were wearing and whispered our shared product lust. The footwear in question were motorcycle boots wound round and round with studded leather chains at the ankle, and they were kind of cool and kind of fancy and kind of mad (in both meanings of the word), all at the same time.
最近幾場女裝秀期間，我坐在Tao Comme des Garçons（Tao是CdG品牌旗下正在主推的年輕品牌之一）秀場的板凳上，兩邊分別是芝加哥擁有同名商店的伊克拉姆•戈德曼(Ikram Goldman)和ID雜誌特別專題編輯特里西亞•瓊斯(Tricia Jones)。我們三個人滿懷垂涎之意望著臺上模特兒們穿著的鞋子，低聲分享著對這件商品共有的慾望。我們看上的是雙摩托車靴，踝部繞著一圈又一圈鑲有柳釘的皮鏈。它們看上去有點酷、有點夢幻、有點瘋狂（或是愚蠢），而且是三種感覺同時兼備。
