Not in these shoes!

Gucci, Fall 2009


Dolce & Gabbana, Fall 2009


A.F. Vandervorst, Fall 2009

What do you think it means that so many of the shoes shown this season, in Paris, especially, are both ugly AND disabling? Is symbolic foot-binding the new fad? Is the message that if a woman actually has to use her feet, to walk, to climb into public transportation, to run the f*ck away, she's not worthy of fashion? WHAT???

I dunno. Take a look and you decide.

maybe i've been in japan too long, but i'm rather partial to the whole socks/pants covering the back of the high heel look (as in the last picture you posted). A lot of girls rock that here and it looks good.

that having been said, i don't know what it is about that last image, but the woman looks like she has goat hooves! *laughs*
