BobHH Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 The newspapers had a review of the Paris fall fashion shows, and mentioned that Dior had stiletto platform shoes so high that one model fell on the runway. You can find pictures on the Elle magazine or Style.com websites, under Fall Fashion shows. Select Christian Dior and select "Details." The shoes aren't exactly stilettos, but they seem to be basically open-toed platform pumps, with tall platforms and very high heels. They are decorated with multiple straps and buckles, including between the platform and the heel! Sort of strange looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 They look like they are no higher than the stripper shoes styles sold under names like Stiletto and Jante in places like United Footware and on many web sites. That's a lot of straps. The top designers are flirting with Bondage themes again by the look of it; though D&G have never really left that subject alone. Hmm. Those shoes sort-of remind me of the mega platforms that Vivienne Westwood did about 10 years, or more, ago. The ones that Naomi Campbell famously fell off.

Laurieheels Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Those are quite ugly. No wait. UGLY! I wouldn't wear them if they were free! Straps across the platform. A dying fashion trend, I hope. My official opinion: bizzare and ugly. Bad combination there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I agree with Laurie (OMG don't be afraid - this is NOT an endorsement for you; Laurie.) 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...

azraelle Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Makes you wonder if they're trying to put the foot into bondage, or the shoe!!? :rofl: :drinking: "All that you can decide, is what to do with the time that is given you."--Gandalf, "Life is not tried, it is merely survived -If you're standing outside the fire."--Garth Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurieheels Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Bubba, you are allowed to endorse me. But as a moderator and resident goddess, I cannot officially endorse anyone else. Typically. It's a political game on this level... But I do endorse Coca-Cola, and would gladly have them as my sponsor for some free product every week...

Jay1 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Just seen those pix, I wouldn't buy a pair of them in a million years! I'm with Laurie on this one, I do not like platforms! No wonder that model fell on the catwalk, the surface looks like glass!

Yamyam Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I'm going to disagree with Laurie, and say... FX: ZAP! Ouch - what happened there? Anyhow, I quite liked those. I'm not sure I'd wear them myself, but I liked the pics, and I liked the shoes. (Edit - D'oh - just got the joke in the post title. IRL: slaps self on forehead) Obsessed is such a strong word.

squirrelheels Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I quite like em... wouldn't wear them myself though. And I don't care what anyone else thinks, I'll think what I like about them! And I'm not surprised she (or even a he?!) fell, look like they need some getting used to to be able to walk in them properly. SH Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your sig and help me spread!
