Those who truly appreciate fashion know that it's, ALWAYS ABOUT THE SHOES. We, die hard fashionistas, not only view them as an accessory to complete our ensemble but really as wearable art on our feet. Sometimes we dress them accordingly to compliment our outfit for that day. But, majority of the time at the end our decision making process is this; we utilize them as statement pieces.
As each fashion season passes by, the structure of the shoe seem to slowly morph into a vision of the future. Increase in height, change in shape of the heel, excessive hardware + embellishments, unusual color combos & tons of tedious workmanship that I can go on for days about.
It's a new era in footwear. From high end, luxe designers to the mainstream, commercial designers everyone is riding the same wave.The transition & direction of this shoe frenzy is almost mind boggling. Anything goes. The ever so popular stiletto heel isn't the only front runner anymore.
