    Pretty classic! Truth is, in those days these socks WERE pretty revolutionary. Until right around then, socks were solid black, white or brown only.

    When I was a young copywriter at Columbia Records in 1972 my art director partner strated Hot Sox, which was the first ever comapnay to do wild color, patterned and multi-toed socks. It coincided with when I did my first and only LP, Childstar, so I got to wear these crazy socks, which helped define my look and style and got me off to a very distinctive and never-ending fashion start. So I’ve always been very conscious of sock trends.

      I always love to see your extraordinary socks, Allee, as I´m a sock-enthusiast too. I think generally they are a very underestimated part of fashion. Whenever I have nothing else in work I´m knitting colorful patterned socks and knee highs from the yarn leftovers, which come pretty handy for this purpose.
