Going over all the best runway shows were absolutely-out-of-this-world heels. From the Alexander McQueen "Armadillo" heels (deemed impossible to wear by the good people at Vogue UK), to the sculptural Alexander McQueen heels, statement heels are definitely going to leave their mark on our retail experience.
In case you haven't gotten to look at the Armadillo heels, here they are in comparison to a regular pump:
I truly believe that if I were to own these shoes, my life would be perfect.
...okay maybe not perfect. in fact, probably blister filled, but you get the idea. These shoes are amazing.

Isn't that nuts? The models during that show looked like they were on Pointe the whole time. I don't know how they did it!
These are the sculptural McQueen runway shoes. Aren't they amazing?! I want to buy a pair and put it on my coffee table as decoration.
How will this translate from runway to street-chic for us? Hopefully, into some incredibly intricate-but-wearable rendtitions of the statement shoe! Here are some of my current favorites:

SM Luxe Flame Colorblock Bootie: $79.95
But you know, I can settle for these babies! These are hotttttttt shoes! Although, I think I would like them a lot more with an open toe. Either way though, beautiful!
I ADORE these. I love the intricate seaming and studs all over this shoe. Plus, it's a 3.5" heel, which is very reasonable compared to the 5" that Galliano offers!
Calvin Klein Danica: $148
I love the snake embossed straps on these! They're a little bondage-y, but so HOT!
I'm not usually a fan of pink, but the gold crystal swirls on this pair is to die for. And anyway, I don't think I've ever seen a Louboutin I didn't like!
More studs! I love the dark brown leather on this too--makes it really easy to transition it from Fall to Winter to Spring!
H Williams Purple Python Latticed Platform: $895
I love the tangled snake-y look of this shoe. This shoe has so much sex appeal! Love it.
BCBG Paris Dragon Ruffled Platform: $69.95
This shoe is so cute! I love the bright red color for the holidays and the ruffles and buckles are a great mix of girly and tough!
This is a great stylish shoe--it also comes in black leather, dark silver leather (HOT), medium brown suede, and purple suede! At $70, you can get a pair in each color!

Fergie Thief Bootie: $139
I'm really feeling the streakiness of the non-patent sections--I also love the shape of the heel on this one. Cute--From Torrid, too!
I'm constantly reminded how obsessed I am with shoes whenever designers send their absurd (in a good way) shoes down the runway. I totally want to revamp my shoe closet! Let me know what you think of the new shoes trends! Which ones do you think you'll end up wearing?
Yours, etc.

I think the one in the frist picture are so ugly that they are beautiful again.. I dont now they kind of remind me of something...an animal food or so...
ReplyDeleteSome of the heels are really awesome but for me they are tooo high...I am even fighting with more then 4cm xD

ReplyDeleteHaha, I agree about the armadillo shoes--but I guess that's why they aren't all over the streets! Also, the shoes posted are definitely the kind where you take cabs around all night because you won't be able to walk for too long! But they're just so pretty! :)
