Trends Reviews and Recaps

Neiman-Marcus today announced the availability of a wider assortment of Gucci apparel and accessories for sale through the specialty retailer's web site, NeimanMarcus.com.

It appears that if Gucci's Tom Ford has his way, men's shoes are going less "chunky."

This is not a good thing. For those of you who don't get it -- shoes, I mean -- just trust me. This is not good.

What's worse, though, even abominable, is Gucci's collection of "resort men's footwear." Don't look. I'm telling you: Don't look!

I told you not to. You'll listen next time, won't you?

One last comment. For years I've been saying, "Flip-flops . . . Always the wrong choice." Is any more confirmation necessary?
