Looking at a stock photo of the Yves Saint Laurent Palais Mohawk Pumps can be a bit daunting. As the name would indicate, the shoes feature a shock of black goat hair down the back of the heel that elevates them far above your average suede pump, but it also makes them a little bit more difficult to work into [...]
The key word in the title of this post, of course, is “relatively.” I don’t think any exotic platforms exist that would fit the objective definition of “affordable,” but since we tend to embrace the luxury shoe market in all of its ridiculousness, we hope you’ll also excuse us for thinking that $695 for these shoes sounds downright reasonable. In [...]
Jeffrey Campbell Lita platforms in taupe and navy suede..I had a couple hours to wander around Soho on Sunday and the LF on Spring Street was my first stop. I was confronted with four options (including leopard print) and was so useless at whittling it down to one pair that this happened. They’re really walkable and I even ended up [...]
Jason Wu may not be the first designer that springs to mind when you think of sexy, wearable shoes, but it looks as though the young standout wants to change that. The shoes from Jason Wu Spring 2011 are striking, sexy and seasonless. The structure of these shoes (high stilettos, tall platform) is no longer the cutting edge trend in [...]
First and foremost, it would be silly not to mention the credit that this design owes to Prada. Dolce Vita, as a brand, inhabits a price point which is often home to rip-off artists, and although the brand isn’t among them as often as some of its competitors, it does owe a debt of design gratitude from time to time. [...]
As we’ve discussed over the past couple of months, lace shoes can be a bit difficult. Not only do they tend to be to breezy for winter, but in a season that requires dedicated fashionistas to work with some nasty weather, the material can be far too delicate. Luckily, shoes like the Fendi Lace Trim Envelope Booties find a way [...]
Roberto Cavalli can sometimes end up as the butt of fashion jokes because of his bold, bright, print-heavy European aesthetic, but I find myself very often enjoying a number of his pieces. There’s something to be said for a strong personality in design, and even if that personality isn’t always mine, I always appreciate it. When Cavalli does things like [...]
Charlotte Olympia is known for her cool, slightly avant-garde designs, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t go pretty just as quickly as the rest of them. If you had any doubts, the Charlotte Olympia Paloma Platforms should go a long way toward shoring them up. I think it would probably be difficult to design a purple-pink satin pump with [...]
Well, I really can’t start writing about the man until I honor him first: R.I.P. Alexander McQueen. Why does the good always die young? But luckily for the fashion world, his creativity and designs will live forever – AND SELL OUT QUICKLY! His Neon Flash Shoe Boots are no flash-in-the-pan! This will be a shoe/boot that will definitely stand the [...]
Under John Gallianio, the Dior label has never been a slavish follower of trends. Season after season, the collections the brand’s New Look glory days and sophisticated, discerning female clientele are referenced and appeased in some way or another, no matter what might be happening in fashion at large. In many ways, it’s admirable that Galliano keeps the true spirit [...]
