# taz.de -- Dernier cri of autumn/winter season 2017: The right shoe on the lef…
> Learning from New York Fashion Week: Make Wrong Right Again.

For an entire year of my life, every morning I had to convince my daughter
of the merits of wearing the right shoe on the right foot. “Why that when
it also works like this?“
Suddenly, her battleground tactical response is not only right but also
totally fashionable. Wearing things the wrong way is so right:
Gloves are worn under your coat sleeves, right? Wrong.
[1][The gloves] that were once worn with your evening gown are now worn
either over your see-through blouse for the warm-cold look or over your
trench which is actually not a trench but more like a dress under which you
are, of course, wearing nothing! [2][Gloves] are also really hot when worn
over your coat worn backwards. Or how about gloves over your sweater
sleeves? It’s a dirty world out there anyway. Why take your gloves off…
ever?
[3][Tights] are worn under your pants or skirt, right? Wrong.
[4][Tights] are still worn under your pants, ok, but now they are also worn
over your shirt. This makes any, and I really stress any, shirt look
interesting.
Button-up shirts are buttoned in front, right? Wrong.
[5][Button-up shirts] are worn backwards, of course. Get with the program.
(I’ve been touting this look for years: catch-up, people!)
[6][Sweaters] are worn like shirts, right? Wrong.
[7][Sweaters] are worn wrapped around your neck: weren’t the arms of a
sweater made for this anyway? No more endless, fussy wrapping of your
scarf. (It’s twist-tie vs a ziplock bag kinda thing. You’re either one or
the other.)
Norwegian sweaters are worn with … (it’s not a trick question) snow boots,
right? Wrong.
[8][Norwegian sweaters] are worn with satin high-heel sandals, of course,
because you just never know when the sun is going to come out and you gotta
start somewhere on that tan – ankles and toes are the last places you’d
notice your winter-doughnut consumption.
Blazers are worn over shirts or (better yet) nothing at all, right? Wrong.
[9][A blazer] is, of course, worn over another blazer. Preferably a
different fabric altogether and unbuttoned just enough to show off your
beer belly, muffin top, whatever you want to call that thing, because hey,
it’s not really cold enough for two blazers anyway.
It’s wonderfully freeing, isn’t it? Next time you go to your closet and you
start trying to put things together, you just have to have one idea in
mind: how do I wear this the wrong way, et voila, [10][you’ve got it
right.]
Well, almost: Never under any circumstances should you try looking like
Woodie Allen dressed up as a sperm: wrong, wrong, wrong. (Ok, ok, if you
have a highly refined sense of humor, then by all means.)

## ARTIKEL ZUM THEMA
Guilty Fashion: Call Me Captain Lycra
Like a moth to the flame, I am attracted to anything that shines, sequins,
vinyl, and any number of polymers.
The soccer scarf invades high fashion: The ultimate anti-brand brand
When Balenciaga does a soccer scarf advertising Aldi it brings a fresh
breeze into the air de Paris, the air of the left with the wallet of the
right.
Kolumne Air de Paris: Schrecklich. Und faszinierend.
Wenn jemand auf die Idee kommt, ein ernstes Thema anzusprechen, geht ein
Alarm los. Eindrücke von der Pariser Woche der Haute Couture.
The renaissance of socks: Hand-knitted by the Queen
Gucci socks at 190 euro, Alexander McQueen socks for 245 euro – the sock
inflation brought us socks for the 1%. Or actually, they're accessoires.
Bilder von Kriegsfotografinnen: Wir Weltempfänger aus Beton
Gibt es einen weiblichen Blick auf Krieg? Diese Idee ist absurd. Was wir
aus der Ferne verlangen müssen, ist, den Alltag zu sehen.
