TFS picks ... Favorite Shoes S/S 2009

[softgrey]

the devi krolls at the beginning of this thread are jaw dropping......


i like the guccis- and agree they are reminiscent of ysl tributes...but i like that they are slightly more aggressive with the multiple ankle straps...

the prada 'peds' are cute...but i guess not so practical if they make the shoes so slippery
(i find that too...i like wearing socks with shoes, but sometimes it's hard to walk......)
* i guess you could solve that by using the styling trick of putting double stick tape inside the shoes...not sure how long that will last, but it's worth a try i guess...

...

the ann's are great, but i like the taos better in blk patent...

of course the dries' are just so incredibly chic...but look hard to walk in i think....
....


great thread guys!!!...

The lacroix shoes are great- I really like the ornaments and the embellishments; it gives the shoe a femine feel, but doesn't take away any of the boldness the shoe possesses. On the other hand, I think the two bows at the front of the shoe when the shoe is other than black and silver is a little too busy at the front, one bow at the very front or either the top when the shoe is already colourful would have been my preference.
The DVN, V&R and Balmain shoes... well what else can I say apart from that they spell dynamic! I've been especially waiting for what V&R would come up with, can't say they've disappointed me in the shoe section (I've yet to take a look at the respective thread showing the whole collection), the colourful laceups are exciting; the colour combination is wonderful the black and whites are mesmerising me
I have commented that I thought the Balmain shoes are really eye catching, but to me they look a little unbalanced in that everything is encrusted in crystals or studs and it makes it look a bit 'top heavy', perhaps a small platform at the front of the shoe would have made it a little more balanced?

chanel (not a huge fan of these, the shapes are great but the seethrough plastic is a big no for me)

Agree.
I like the Chanels but hate the Gallianos

 

[Navygreen]

The Galliano ones are quite "sculptural", not that wearable though. Perhaps Daphne Guinness is able to pull these things off successfully, who knows.

OMG the Gallianos! For a second I thought the platforms were reflections!

 

[cavanaugh]

whoa, the gallianos are so cool

 

[quijano]

omg! i thought i was seeing reflections of the bottom part of the Galliano shoes, turns out it was still part of the shoes.LOL.

 

[Ihaveadog]

The Galliano shoes are definitely a trompe l'oiel (sp!) and if I could have (find) those Givenchy and Rodarte shoes right now, they'd be on my feet now!! LOVE!
