New York Fashion Week is upon us, and we here at PAPERMAG.com have some exciting news. Our very own Mr. Mickey is teaming up with the shoe mavens over at Steve Madden for some comprehensive "Crashin' Fashion Week" coverage. Keep checking in for daily behind the scenes videos, shoe trend reports, giveaways, his favorite runway looks and his signature chit-chats with the fashion world's movers, shakers and party-makers -- all delivered with MM's signature wit, charm and general joie de vivre... Here, Mickey takes us behind-the-scenes of the Steve Madden advertorial from our September issue (currently on stands) to discuss the merits of leopard-print heels, tomboy boots, sparkle-adorned shoes and platforms. Take it away, Mr. Mickey!
