It must of sucked to be working the Viktor & Rolf Fall Winter 2007 Ready-to-Wear Runway show. They put them in those horrible harnesses, check the video, those poor girls. And those shoes, awful.
Footloose the adjustable heel. It’s a shoe that can be worn as a flat or a high heel. This picture of course is just the base and not what the final product will look like. Footloose- adjustable high heels by Marte den Hollander It’s often said that ‘everything has been thought of’. As a designer, I think the opposite is true. As soon as you take a closer look to the world, you notice all things can be improved. The high-heeled shoe is a classic example of a no pain, no gain product. Women wearing them take so much trouble for granted! I decided to challenge this compromise. Would it be possible to make a shoe having all advantages of high heels, just as well as the comfort of flats? I designed a shoe with a high heel, which can be changed into a shoe with a low heel. No more extra pairs of shoes in your bag, no more trouble driving a car or walking stairs, no more painful feet, no more knee and …
Seshat Boots by Stella McCartney for Adidas I have been eying these boots after I first posted about the fall 2006 Stella collection from Adidas. I think they are more obnoxious than my white Sorels. Capezio came through for me in the end. I got the last pair of 8s in the store.
Nothing excites me more than purchasing new electronic equipment. That’s right, I love this more than shopping for clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. I bought a new computer a little ahead of schedule. It’s beautiful. 22″ LCD screen. Nice wide screen action! I had one of the old and massive monitors before so this is a dream. It’s also Dual core. DUAL CORE baby! That is two Intel CPUs in my box, 2GB of RAM and a one Terabyte of harddrive space. I’m a happy camper 🙂 Unfortunately I’m having a problem with the onboard sound and I have to take it back to get fixed. Reinstalling the drivers did nothing. I called tech support, which is fairly irritating for me because the Men on these calls never think I have the knowledge I do. So this guy takes me through the same freaking steps I’ve already done many times over. Such a waste of time. I hate tech support. I’ll let you know the company I purchased with after I get this sound thing dealt …
Anne Valérie Hash shoes I can’t explain why I like these heels by Anna Valerie Hash. I think it’s the heel height and the strange forefoot covering. I think menswear when I see them, but can’t place that influence in them. Anna Valerie Hash shoes were available Holt Renfrew but has since been dropped. Holt’s just took their shoe department back from Browns.

You see, I live in Winnipeg, where there a few fun boutiques and big box and mall stores rule. My question for you is regarding Canadian online shoe stores. While there are plenty of ones in the States, I don’t like considering the duty and exchange. I am aware of softmoc.ca here shipping in Canada but would love to know if you have come across any others. Thanks! Dai This post needs and update and here I am to do that. Online shopping is getting better in Canada. There are some new additions for online shoe shopping. Online shopping in Canada isn’t very good most of the time. Things are slowly changing though …
My mission on Boxing Day was to get some cheap Hunter Wellys. Some stores discounted them a little bit like TNT, Over the Rainbow, Aritiza and Capezio. Heel Boy didn’t even put them on sale and they aren’t part of the 2 for 1 sale they are having right now. I almost bought them from Heel Boy until I found out they weren’t part of the sale. I decided to wait it out and I’m glad I did because Over the Rainbow brought out the big guns, 50% off. The last pair in blue were a 38; it was like they were waiting for me. So, if you are looking for Hunter Wellingtons on the cheap, hit up Over the Rainbow. They had a bunch of green ones left and some of another style, The Hunter Lady N. Get them while they last. There is also a lot of other stuff on sale tshirts, tons of denim and sweaters. If anyone is looking for a full length Triple Five Soul jacket they should go very …
I’ve just noticed that I enjoy the location of Karl’s show more than the clothes. After seeing Dior and JPG, I’m so bored with this. However, the location of the show is beautiful. I loved the shoes though. Now, I understand what Jeanne Beker was going off about at the Bata Shoe Museum exhibit opening last week. Karl’s influence is on display there now. images: thefashionspot.com
