Is it just me, or do these shoes scream playschool? And I don’t mean in a bad way. I feel like I had a pair of these when I was 7 playing in my room pretending that I was a pop star (damn you Britney) while singing into my hairbrush. The colors make it look like they belong on a shelf next to Barbie’s corvette and an easy-bake oven (do they still have those.. I hope?). Made by Junko Shimada for their spring-summer 2011 ready-to wear collection, they popped down the runway in Paris and brightened everyone’s day. These make me feel like a spring day in the middle of fall. They are stacked high and I have to say, when you look straight at the shoe, the platform looks weird. Nonetheless, I think they are cute and I want to put them on top of a cupcake. You know what would have bumped them to awesome status? Velcro. Now that would be kickin it old school for real.
Cute, I’m also a fan! Love how high they are, and the playful colors.
I hate to say it but this blog (and Bag Snob) has become extremely inconsistent. Loyal readers are used to a post headline that features the name and designer of the accessory, as well as a line at the bottom detailing where to get it… not to mention the a sparse, funny, informative piece, unlike the somewhat schizophrenic writing style here. I have no idea about the fabrication of the shoe, nor what you’d wear it with.
Interesting idea, but executed poorly. The ridiculously high heel is bending toward the platform-thingy on the ball of the foot as the model walks and they look like they are going to fold up on themselves. Also, just how far is it acceptable to have toes hang over the front of a shoe? (In my opinion, not at all!) Are they supposed to do that, or are they just ill-fitting? I’d say “slob” on these!
