One of Shoewawa's favourite shoe designers Jonathan Kelsey, has created a limited edition £50,000 shoe... yes, really. Don't believe me? Then check out this video above that he recently made for Grazia at Paris Fashion Week. The luxe shoe is made from crocodile, and features 18 carat gold and 16 carat diamond embellishment. Wowzers! Like any of us could afford such extravagance but if you happen to be one of the very fortunate few, then they are available now at David Morris boutiques.
Before you leave your computers for the weekend, I thought I'd share this video with you. Featuring Jay Alexander, whom some of you may remember from his appearances in America's Next Top Model as the model walking coach. Caught at New York Fashion Week by Better.tv (by a woman with a rather odd accent) he talks about how he trains models to walk in sky high heels, what you can do to walk better in heels, and how he wasn't allowed in one of the fashion shows. Didn't they know who he is?? ;)
What happens when you put Katy Perry and Steve Madden in the same Lower Eastside Steve Madden store? Well you get music and some very cool shoes! Katy Perry performed live at the store to celebrate the launch of www.stevemaddenmusic.com in June and the I had to share this clip because it has the cutest snippet of Steve singing "I kissed a shoe and I liked it" (at about 1:26 seconds) - we can tell Steve, after all you made quite a career out of it.
Just yesterday we showed you a video from the Academy of Art University fashion show - remember, the model lost her shoe half way down the catwalk and the other models followed suit as if it was planned? Well another shoe incident occurred at New York Fashion Week Spring 2009, this time at the Andy & Debb fashion show where a model's heel actually breaks off. It's something we always dread will happen to us when we're in our highest and thinnest stilettos, but this model shows us how to handle it. By walking as if it were still there!
Thankfully I've never had a heel break on me (knock on wood) but I've had the odd hole and ballet flat fill with water during a sudden downpour. What shoe malfunctions have you suffered?
Models falling over on the runway is one thing, but models banding together after a shoe loss? At the Academy of Art University fashion show recently a model's foot slipped out of her shoes - she made it down the runway unfazed and even picked up her shoes on the way back. But instead of allowing that to be the focus of the show, each model that followed the first down the runway removed their shoes as if it was meant to happen! Well I've never seen that on the runways before, I wonder if that was at the request of the designers, show producers or something the models did...
You might be one of the top models in the world, but even shoe mishaps happen to you. Take Karolina Kurkova, she's one of the prestigious Victoria's Secret Angels and while strutting down the catwalk for their 2006 runway show, her shoe slipped off. Like a pro, she kept walking and smiling as if nothing had changed!
Remember those Christian Louboutin fetish heels with the sky high heel that definitely weren't made for walking? Well it seems someone else makes them with a 6.5" high heel that makes it very difficult to walk in. But as fetish heels go, some people can wear them and (struggle) to walk in them. The proof is in this video, just make sure your feet are in comfortable shoes or they may literally start aching at the sight of someone attempting the painful walk.
