Fetish Inspired/Fetish Looking High End Shoes

[stilettogirl84]

i don't wear anything the way it is shown on the runway-EVER...
that would mean i had no style of my OWN...

well Im totally with you on that!

 

[softgrey]

right on!!!...

 

[Alejandro]

these dolce & gabbana f/w 07 shoes are very fetish....

Re: the Balenciaga monsters - I love them to look at, but would never even think of actually wearing them. To me, they're more like objects to be found in a museum - to be looked at, but not to be touched.

I prefer fetish inspirations that are just that - inspirations rather than absurd copies. Toned-down inspirations get the point across while still being wearable. I like the element of three small straps as seen on the following pictures of shoes worn by Kate Bosworth and Evan Rachel Wood, respectively. Kate's are Chloe, I know, but I don't know who makes Evan's:

(both from the Star Style forum threads on each actress)

Er ... ignore my post above, it saved before I was done editing:

Does anybody know who makes an affordable similar shoe? I prefer the flats. Thanks.

kmccormi, Evan's are Chloé as well. I don't know of a similar style off the top of my head, but I'll try and look for some later on tonight.

Oh, those Dolces for this fall were the most refreshing shoes I've seen in a while. I really did miss the harmony of a pointy toe and a stiletto heel.

Also spotted on the f/w 07 runways...

Black leather crotch-high, platform, cone-heeled boots with lacing under the arch by McQueen.

Givenchy did a similar boot, OTK, pointed toe with rear lacing.

Burberry's make me think of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, which understandibly makes me think of hookers when looking at them.

style, elle

I don't see many women pulling these off, let alone being bold enough to try....but the sure do make a statement.

what is so "fetish" about 3 straps across the foot? on a hideous shoe, btw.

Right here dahling!

Once again we see a designer mess up totally in a vain attempt to justify himself. Design for the sake of design, and not for the sake of creating beautiful footwear.

Better, but the heel is a bit too thick for a sharp pointy toe like that. A nice stiletto would be much better.

Those are actually very nice.

damn...

As Alejandro said, "Damn" is right. Your opinion is not shared by all. Whatever, we have different tastes, let's leave it at that.

And to answer your question, if you read my post you'll know that I was saying the design evokes and is inspired by fetishism rather than a straight fetish design in and of itself. Multiple leather straps are reminiscent of bondage and BDSM, to me, anyway. I could ask the same thing about Alejandro's D&G pumps a few posts above - to me those evoke NOTHING of fetishism but there are many ways to interpret the concept.

Now get over yourself and realize that what you find "hideous" others may like.

Poor baby, did I step on someones toes?
You need to get over yourself and realize that this is a discussion forum and everyone is entitled to, and allowed to express, their personal oppinion.

You didn't get anywhere near my toes, darling - don't overestimate yourself. I'm completely unmiffed.

The point of my post was exactly that everyone is allowed to express their personal opinion. I respect that you don't like the shoe. But you could have phrased it as "I think that shoe is hideous" as opposed to making a derogatory blanket statement such as "on a hideous shoe btw."

You don't even have the decency to reply on topic; you are just responding to make a defensive, irrelevant comment. At least in mine I returned with a few lines pertaining to the topic at hand that I thought would, from any other thoughtful person, elicit some intelligent, worthwhile discussion.
