We’ve never been big fans of desert boots but Opening Ceremony‘s latest refinement is one we can definitely get behind. The N.Y. based label’s been endorsing desert boots for quite sometime, but we first came across their M2 desert boot a few months ago and we’ve been impressed ever since.

They’re versatile and perfect for just about any pairing, something desert boots of seasons past have not been able to accomplish.

Paul Smith‘s Fall ’09 campaign’s hit the web and as The Fashionisto explains, it’s got airs of British sophistication, while still managing to poke fun in a wonderfully cheeky manner that only Paul Smith can. Models Stéphane Olivier and Laurens Van Mulukom appear in the well-directed shots.
