Bubba136 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 as with all new styles, they look strange to me...... Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladerunner Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 bubba i think the term your looking for is 'cutting edge'! I just love those suede heels!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolldeg Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 No, the term is "ugly platform". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmc Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Trouble is, that platform looks like it was an afterthought, like some shoe designer just tacked it on at the end. That style would be nicer, albeit more "generic" without it. Have a happy time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 No, the term is "ugly platform". Whew! I was beginning to think I was the only one that had that thought!

joeshoething Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think those blue heels are awesome. But I've always been impressed with styles that are far from "normal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLFanatic Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm not sure why this thread is called atwood? Those shoes are by Nicholas Kirkwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Nicholas Kirkwood is a great new designer. A friend's girlfriend was wearing some a couple of weeks ago. The design and craftsmanship is stunning (to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLFanatic Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yup, I love NK! I just bought a pair and am planning my next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladerunner Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 my keyboard batteries were playing up at the time so atwood came out instead of kirkwood! and i've only just realised..oops I just love those suede heels!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Attached are my favourite Brian Atwood's from his current collection. I love the fold down pop stud boots! Annoyingly all the shoes in the photos are size 40 which is my size. Also worth looking at Rupert Sanderson. Some of his shoes are so covetable. See the attached black and white boots. I'd even break my 'no zips ever' policy for them. It all makes me want to go to college to design shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLFanatic Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 ^^Very nice, but I am strictly an NK and CL girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 ^^Very nice, but I am strictly an NK and CL girl! Why just NK and CL? There are so many other great designers. Louboutin set a trend but has gone way off the boil recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLFanatic Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Why just NK and CL? There are so many other great designers. Louboutin set a trend but has gone way off the boil recently. I actually just am not struck by a lot of other designers. I'm not too struck by CL designs this season, but I still love his classic and older designs. As far as Brian Atwood, I really hate the sculpted heels, and I feel like some of his basic pumps look like distorted CL designs. I don't really like all the bling of Giuseppe Zanotti. I have one pair of Chanels, but I don't like how most of them have big logos, or the denim shoes they have this season, blech! Manolo Blahnik is too matronly for me, Proenza Schouler is a little too boring...I could go on and on. I love that NK is innovative but not too over the top, and I love that CL does seemingly simple designs, but there are important details that make them sexy and far from basic. I don't discriminate against other designers, they just don't appeal to me most of the time. If I'm going to buy a pair of expensive shoes, I have to love them.
