It seems within the past 3 seasons or so, shoes have taken on an unfathomable, unrecognizable form. I first noticed this last fall, when Galliano featured insanely amazing HIGH heels made of wood and leather. The above shoe is Galliano. He blows my mind every season.
Louboutin has always created outlandish heels, platforms, and spiked boots, but as of late, the actual form of the high heel has been recreated in an exciting, futureistic, mechanical form that keeps me interested and amazed. In addition to beautiful clothing, designers have recreated and reimagined what the heel IS and where it GOES. Amazingly, I've seen the heel of the shoe placed at the arch of the foot, leaving the ball of a one's foot suspended in mid air. It's so strange and delightful.
On the modern runway, what's on the foot is just as awe-inspiring as the beautiful gowns on the body.
