UNDERGROUND Sunless Tanning for Women

Favorite Designer

In 1945, British troops returned from fighting in North Africa, many making their way home via the seedy nightspots of King’s Cross and Soho, where the crepe-soled desert boots they wore became known as brothel creepers.Inspired by the shoes’ suede upper and hardwearing sole, local cobblers adapted and refined the style until they were adopted in radically streamlined form by the emergent Teddy Boys.
