Yoga, painting, knitting… There are lots of hobbies out there people get a kick out of. Ours, however, is of more an observing nature. Some have a penchant for trains, planes or automobiles, but our past-time of choice in undoubtedly shoe-spotting, and we've certainly been in our element doing so over the course of fashion month.
While we've clocked countless styles worthy of article space, it quickly became apparent that there was one dominant trend emerging from the feet of the fash pack: velvet shoes.
