Alexander McQueen, as always, sure pushes the envelope. Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 collection looks as if they are straight out of a sci-fi movie. Extraordinaire! The most intriguing shoes are these super high booties… these make Christian Siriano 2010 shoes look a bit tame.

I can’t help but think of… LOL!

There is some delicious Alexander Mcqueen fashion on sale right now at Gilt Groupe, luxury fashion up to 70% off!

Love It or Hate It – Melissa Zaha Hadid Sandals

Sophie — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:37:40 +0000

Brazilian plastic shoe maker Melissa has teamed up with international architect Zaha Hadid to create this structural piece – MELISSA – RUBBER ZAHA HADID SANDALS. Artsy & futuristic, you really get to appreciate the fluidity of the curves…. but I wonder how practical they are to wear like on the beach for example…

Now, you can have your own walking sculpture for $396 with free shipping at LUISAVIAROMA.COM.

Here is the making of a larger scale model of the shoes. Cool!

Love It or Hate It – Nina Ricci FW 09 Shoes

Sophie — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 01:15:20 +0000

I had to share some crazy shoes from the Nina Ricci Fall 2009 show…I’m glad to hear that there was no “model Trippin’“… I mean, just look at them! Really! I’m sure models had some practice before hitting the runway. These shoes are even more outrageous than Victoria Beckham’s platforms by Antonio Berardi.

I wonder what’s the purpose of that tiny stiletto heel sticking out on the back? Not to mention the sky-high platforms! The scary height & odd design overpowers the rest of the fine detailing of the shoe. So, get up on them, like stepping onto stairs… if you dare!

I find platforms very sexy… the normal(?) ones that is. Check out these fab platform shoes right here!

High Heel Roller Skates

Heels on wheels… not the safest combo. Make sure to have insurance cause there goes your ankles. The high heel roller skates are created by Hannah Havana.

Love It or Hate It – YSL Cage Shoes

Sophie — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:12:53 +0000

Gladiator shoes gone mad… LOL! Haven’t seen anything quite like the Yves Laurent cage shoes (YSL Spring 09). Such architectural appeal to them. The CAGE BOOTS are the most eye-catching of all… they seem very airy and comfy like wearing a pull up sock with a bunch of holes in them. Spend $1400 to find out how they actually feel… let me know!

Or, get the look for less right here!

Not functional as boots but rather wanna be boots… a part boot, part pump Cut That by Irregular Choice is rather cool looking. The tiered design and the extra side flap gives you that rock’ n roll edge. The heel is just about the right height too. Cut that side flap and just turn them into regular pumps if you’d like. They are $144.

Cut That $144

Love It or Hate It

Sophie — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:30:52 +0000

I’ve seen the heel-less shoes but how about sole-less heels? I seriously can’t help but think that these shoes are not functional and really quite ugly. They look like leg braces for sprained ankles with black tape wrapped all over. The shoes debuted as part of the London Fashion Week Spring 09 Collections… and I don’t see these being trendy at all unless you want a pair of nasty feet! Pretty silly overall.

Victoria Beckham Goes Heel-Less

Sophie — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:08:59 +0000

Victoria Beckham gets lots of attention, not only with her mannish hair but with her shoes at the launch of the couple’s Beckham Signature fragrance collection at Macy’s in New York. These $4000 heel-less heels(?) are designed by Antonio Berardi, with super high platforms and invisible 5 1/2 inch heels.

I really think you can pull off these platforms as Victoria Beckham did as long as you don’t walk much and be extra careful with them. I don’t see them being too uncomfortable. These shoes look more awkward than they probably actually feel. Many seem to agree on how ugly the shoes are but I think they are intriguing.
