IN OUR INBOX KRISTEN KICKS ASS I loved Kristen Stewart’s cover story [“Kristen Kicks Back”]. Admitting she was forthcoming and confident as a kid, and that she’s still trying to get back to that, was relatable. It’s great to see her becoming more unapologetic about who she is. —Sophia Perez, Oakland, CA GREEK DRAMA “Secrets of the Sisterhood” by Alexandra Robbins opened my eyes to the possible dangers young women in sororities face. My coworker has a daughter very active in her sorority; I passed on the August issue so she can read the article and share it with her sorority sisters. Thank you for raising awareness! —Pam Parks, Memphis, TN I was angered by “Secrets of the Sisterhood.” I was raped as a pledge and would not have survived…

Hear that click-clack-clickclack? That’s the sound of millions of women trying on their new fall shoes. No shame in admitting you bought a pair (or four) for “back to school” season. (Or was that just me?) I don’t know about you, but I find it deeply satisfying to see all my shoes lined up under my desk or in my closet—my pretty little soldiers, ready for action. Shoes, be they a timeless pair of four-inch heels, a kick-ass pair of moto boots, or a crisp pair of Stan Smiths, occupy a special place in a woman’s life. Make no mistake, Hillary Clinton has a favorite pair. And so do you. And in honor of everyone’s favorite accoutrement, I urge you to savor the 15 pages in our epic Shoes First…
MARKET & ACCESSORIES DIRECTOR KYLE ANDERSON @KyleEditor “For Shoes First (p. 141), it all starts at Fashion Week in New York, Milan, and Paris,” says Anderson, who created the biggest edition of MC’s signature footwear feature to date. “Looking at the shows, I think a lot about making people approach shoes they otherwise think they could never wear.” STYLE ICON: Romeo Beckham.
