foot fetish

Spring 2013 shoes shoes shoes in review!

The Good:
Sorry but my personal favorites definitely have an overwhelmingly similar aesthetic this season. Clunky, shiney, toy, crafty, science, day dreamy, all come to mind when I see these shoes. I didn't quite fall in love with any classically beautiful heels this season, not that I usually do.
Quick rundown from left to right... Victor and Rolf's sea horse-ish beauts. My old standby of Rodarte didn't disappoint with their chunkiest heels ever. Proenza Schouler shoes looked like a chic science fair project. Fendi gave me all of the reflective neon and studs that I could have ever asked for.

The Unwearable:
"Pain is beauty" is one thing but these are just rude. Narciso Rodriguez' clogs (?) look like calf muscle torture devices. Dior's frail toothpick stilettos seem ready to snap. And the poor model stuffed in to these Givenchy plastic heels will probably have nightmares of blisters for months.


The Seemingly Innovative:
These Balenciaga illusion oxfords reminded me quite a bit of some quirky Jeffrey Campbells

Jean Paul Gautier gave made me nostalgic for Alexander McQueen

Even these bizarre Celine toe shoes call to mind Vivienne Westwood trompe l'oeil toe heels. 

"Good artists copy, great artists steal."

The Prada:
I can't even begin to wrap my head around these Geisha sock monstrosities. I'm sorry but I rely on Prada for epic footwear. These just make me sad and confused.
