Is Karl Lagerfeld bringing back the clog? It appears so.
At the Chanel S/S 2010 show in Paris on Tuesday, Lagerfeld got a little bit country by erecting a giant haystack in the middle of the runway for his models to strut their stuff around.
They didn't wear wellies either. Instead, the designer added a touch of Dutch courage by presenting a collection of high-heeled clogs.
Embellished with brooches and studs, the wooden-heeled clogs provided the necessary rustic element to a rural-inspired collection. Yee-haw!
The show to create the most buzz from Paris Fashion Week over the past 24 hours came from Alexander McQueen. The British design legend once again brought out the big guns to present the most whimsical and outrageous collection of the week.
Collaborating with Lady Gaga (naturally, I mean look at those shoes), McQueen's live stream of his show was brought to a sudden end after Gaga fans logged onto SHOWstudio.com to hear the world premiere of her latest single which was played on the catwalk. Note to Gaga: it probably wasn't wise to Tweet that you were debuting your hot new track just 30 mins prior to show time. Oops!
Could this be a sign that the obsession with leopard and other 'exotic' prints has finally reached its logical conclusion?
These show-stopping court shoes be Jean Charles de Castelbajac are not only completely covered in the feline fabric - they've sprouted eyes, fangs and even a tail, too! But would you wear them? If you're ever prone to shyness, you may want to stick with Marc Jacobs' mice...
We've been getting so excited about House of Holland's legwear lately that it's easy to overlook the other developmemts going on in Henry Holland's growing empire, namely some rather fascinating shoes!
Wedge-style heels aren't to everybody's taste, and I certainly find the slope at the back of these shoes a bit vertiginous. But I do like the colour, which is a shade of raspberry red we don't often see in footwear. Best of all is the grey metallic strip around the heel and the counter (that's the bit that touches the actual heel on your body, fact fans!) which is a reflective honeycomb pattern when seen close up.
Despite whatever may be going on with Tamara Mellon personally, the lady certainly knows her shoes.
The Jimmy Choo creative director has unveiled a new collection featuring updated versions of her favourite styles. Named Choo 24/7, it includes such styles as 'Icons', 'Perfect Platforms', and the 'Perfect Flat' in a variety of colours and heel heights.
The range is slated to launch to coincide with Jimmy Choo's spring/summer 2010 collection. It will be sold throughout Jimmy Choo stores from January next year. [via Vogue UK]
Jimmy Choo is giving fashionistas the chance to have a real party for their feet with his latest shoe innovation: it's these extravagant lighting up disco sandals, just debuted at Milan Fashion Week. The wearer's movements trigger the perspex heels to light up, just like those kiddies' trainers that flash on and off as they toddle along.
Do these represent for you the ultimate in party shoes or a taste u-turn for the footwear king? You decide!
After unveiling a range of accessories last season for Versace's revived Versus line, Christopher Kane has just added a womenswear and (more!) shoes to his spring 2010 collection.
Collaborating with Donatella Versace, it's obvious who Kane has taken inspiration from... erm, Liz Hurley's iconic 1994 safety pin dress, anyone? In footwear, he has incorporated burnt orange colours, chain detailing, and brushed metal. Apparently the only flat shoes were a pair of Chelsea boots, in a similar style to Kane's last Versus collection.
