Wonder Woman

Beyoncé. Tired of hearing that name yet? Well, apparently it doesn't matter because the road of this living legend looks like it's just beginning! On Oct. 2, Beyoncé added one more honor to her array of accolades when she accepted Billboard's Woman of the Year Award. The presentation was made at Billboard's Women in Music brunch in New York, recognizing the year's top 30 women in the music business.

"Beyoncé is a multiplatinum artist and a multitalented woman who clearly embodies the qualities of excellence and achievement that the Billboard Woman of the Year Award was created to honor," Billboard editorial director Bill Werde says. "She has not only influenced pop culture with her hit songs and her signature dance moves, but has inspired women everywhere with her unique style, business savvy and dedication to charitable causes."


In the past 12 months alone, Beyoncé has accomplished several career milestones. She not only sang "American the Beautiful" during the opening ceremony of the 2009 presidential inauguration, she also sang the Etta James hit "At Last" as President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama danced their first dance at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball.

In March Beyoncé launched her worldwide I Am...tour, which has grossed some $53.5 million to date, according to Billboard Boxscore. She's also the star and executive producer of the 2009 film "Obsessed," which opened at No. 1 and has grossed more than $68.3 million in North America, according to Nielsen EDI.

"I Am...Sasha Fierce" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when it was released by Columbia Records in November. The album, the singer's third solo set, has spun off a string of Billboard Hot 100 hits: "If I Were a Boy," "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," "Halo," "Ego" and "Sweet Dreams."

After accepting MTV's video of the year award for her iconic "Single Ladies" video a few weeks ago, Beyoncé gained a new level of fan and industry respect at the Sept. 13 event when she unselfishly brought Taylor Swift back onstage to complete the acceptance speech cut off by Kanye West's surprise interruption.

Beyoncé also continued her commitment this year to ongoing philanthropic projects and entrepreneurial activities from fashion to fragrances.

"She's incredibly creative," says Rob Stringer, chairman of Sony Music Label Group. "She also works phenomenally hard to create the opportunities she has. People tend to think there's always an image-maker behind female pop stars. That's not the case with Beyoncé. There's no element of diva or difficulty about her; she takes control of the process and makes it happen. She's grown beautifully in that role."

Congratulations to the Queen Bey!

At its Pea(k)


[Checked Wool Mix Pea coat]


It's time to put away the cargo short, tube socks, and short sleeves and pull out the layers, thermals and Pea Cots. One thing I love than a guy's shoes, is one that can wear a coat, and wear it right! Pea coats are stylish, versatile and can usually be pulled off with just about any look that you're trying to put together.

I went on Topman, the male equivalent to www.topshop.com, and found some nice pea coats for autumn.

CLAE FALL '09 PREVIEW

CLAE came correct with a batch of new styles and colors for the Fall season. From the Khan model which features a sweet mid-cut design complemented by an angular ankle strap to the suede Cousteau velcro loafer, you can check out more from the CLAE collection below and in Issue 16 of Sneaker Freaker!



Where does that inspiration come from?
My design influences are the clean, simple lines of the mid-century modern art and design movement coupled with the energy and attitude of NYC in the ‘80s and ‘90s. I see both of those inspirations culminating in a vanguard youthful energy with a sense of tradition and practicality in function. With travel, music, food, design, art, and film as my guide, I’m driven by a myriad of varieties in life and the discoveries that lie therein.






Who are you talking to with your designs?

Young, old and everyone in between. People looking for our combination of style, comfort and versatility in a straight-forward good pair of shoes. We are a product-driven company, filling the void between sneakers and shoes. I know that I personally need shoes that are versatile, that can carry you from day to night without sacrificing style or comfort. Clae is here to address the changing times of menswear, I think Clae is where footwear is going for this generation and beyond.
