More to look forward to in September: In London, a new musical, ‘Shoes,’ is about, well, our complex relationships with footwear. Featuring characters such as a washed-up Cinderella and unrepentant Imelda Marcos, the show was written by Richard Thomas (most noted for ‘Jerry Springer: the Opera’) after scores of interviews with shoe lovers on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s scheduled to run Sept. 3-11 at Sadler’s Wells. [Telegraph]

And if you’re going to be in New York on Sept. 7, you might want to check out the city’s biggest public fashion show ever, taking place that night at Lincoln Center (a fund-raiser for the NYC AIDS fund and part of the run-up to Fashion’s Night Out on Sept. 10). Tickets go on sale Thursday at Lincoln Center or online. [The Cut]

Kanye West is trying to clean up his image, and one part of the strategy is dress: He and his posse will be seen from now on in sharply tailored, designer suits, he says. It’s said that clothes make the man -- but let’s hope his behavior becomes as impeccable as his garb. [Huffington Post]
