Spring 2009

A lot of metallics, bondage, and unique looking heels now….

Galliano’s Spring ‘09 Collection.

Check out the  mirror runway.  I’d hate to be the model who forgot to wear underwear that day. Or perhaps- failing to get a pedicure or shave my legs for the runway.

Poor form – I just feel bad for the shoes there.

Louis Vuitton played around with what looks like wearing tribal masks on shoes:

So then these guys took it as an insult and sued LV:

As a settlement, they got to receive all the LV heels they wanted and decided to make careers for themselves in drag:

Many played with sequins like Casadei:

But I think Maison Marton Margiela took the sequin thing a bit too far…

But forget what I think, because there is definitely a market out there for them. Like this woman…

I bet she wishes she had those Margiela’s in her closet the night she wore this bad boy!
