The designer described his chain shoes creation creation as;

“The shoes express the contrast between heaviness and lightness, elegance and brutality, complexity and simplicity, movement and anchorage. To create these contrasts, we have chosen to work with metal chains at different stages of aging. Chains function as both structural design and the developer of the illusion of not reaching down to the ground or mastering a given form. “

Sometimes creations like these make me wonder if the designer ever intended anyone to wear them.

Paging Lady Gaga…

Being a celeb obviously has its perks, but its always interesting to get an idea of what some of them are. Free gifts and schwag are nice, but I had no idea how much an appearance can be worth.

At the top of the A list celebs is Rihanna that takes in as much as $100,000 or more for sitting in the front row of fashion events.

It’s the weather, otherwise I’d be right here with you.

I was just looking at this video a someone sent me and wanted to share. If you haven’t seen it yet you have to watch it.

This made me wonder how often we do things because of tradition? Sometimes there are lots of good reasons to do things the way others do, but there are other times where you just want to make it your own. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of a ceremony quite like the one in the video. I know in recent years people are choosing different locations for their weddings, like their back yard or the beach, but it’s still a march down the aisle.

I don’t know why I said all of this. It just made me look at things being done out of the norm. Hope it makes you laugh.

And I hope you do something different tomorrow. Take a fashion risk! Try new foods. Mix it up once in a while.

The above image is not in fact available, but the creation of 3d artist Tim Cooper of based on the Lamborghini’s  famous Gallardo Superleggera. I do like the carbon fiber heel though.

This one caught their eye…

An interesting idea, the City Slipper is essentially a rubber cover that slips over your high heels to provide a little extra traction and protection on a dainy day.

Available soon at SWIMS

I’ve fallen out of my blogging cycle. Just busy with other stuff, and will be back soon.

Came across something that made me laugh I wanted to share. I can understand how certain well known people might license their name for things like fragrances, clothes, and more, but thought it was a tad strange to see Rober Cavalli vodka. Some celebrities will put their name on almost any product.

Back in 2003 Rem Koolhaas (who is also an architect) started with the Mobius shoe. Since then, he’s launched United Nude with shoe-maker Galahad JD Clark, which has established itself as an iconic brand that prides itself on innovations in footwear design.

United Nude is also the same people the brought us the heelless high heel that we mentioned before.

I love the fact that they aim to innovate and be truly original. I’m sure they’ll come up with a few designs that we’ll all be wearing in the future, but in between that will also be a few we question I’m sure.

Are we ready for such style? Is this what Leeloo (from movie 5th Element) wears for a night out?

“I could really go for a pair of shoes…”

Happens all the time, right?

In the UK they now have a shoe vending machine. At last!
