Robert Clergerie For Vena Cava

September 9, 2009 1:05 pm

Great minds, as they say, think alike. So it pleased me greatly to find out that Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock, two girls for whom I have a ton of respect, are going to be using the Clergerie shoes I’ve been obsessing on since March at their show tomorrow. “I have no idea why Clergerie is so under-the-radar,” comments Buhai. “Lisa and I went to the store today, and they’re just our favorite shoes out there. Refined, comfortable, a little eccentric, but never too flashy, you know?” Alongside the Douz platform I wrote about, the Vena Cava Spring ‘10 show will feature the Dorine bootie that may have superseded it in my affections, and pairs of wood-soled Mary Janes Buhai says reminded her and Mayock of the shoes they wore to high school in the nineties. Also featured at the show: Robert Clergerie himself, who happens to be in New York City for a rare visit, and who will be checking out the Vena Cava scene, naturellement. According to Buhai, he’ll get to see a modern, outer-borough version of bon chic, bon genre. “This collection is really about what we want to wear and what our friends want to wear,” says Buhai. “Casual, Brooklyn-girl style.”
