Vertiginous Platforms F/W 06.07 & S/S 07

[Kimkhuu]

To balance out the minis and tights you'll be wearing for next fall/winter? If you can't walk in heels, forget about this trend because the heels are higher than ever.

What's your take on this bold trend?

What's vertiginous?

The height of the platforms.

As long as the heel is sturdy and chunky, I'll go pretty high. Some ppl might find them ridiculous looking but I kinda like the fact that they look super-sized chunky - balances out the slouchy look going on for the season. Though, I won't be parted with my beloved flats!

[honeyspider]

I think they look ridiculous.

prada & chloe platforms look delicious

I think they look ridiculous.

that's what I thought way back when I first saw them, but now I am hooked.... they're oh so chic... especially when worn with minis and black tights...

i kind of think they all are horrible looking, but who knows, they may just grow on me by the time fall rolls around. The idea of being well over six feet tall is extremely appealing...

What do you mean? Like we are wearing plastic bags on our feet? lol

I usually dont like platform, but they are starting to grow on me. I'm still not big on the wedge platform tho.

I love the jil sander shoes

I like the look alot, it's very powerful and statuesque. It looks nice with skirts and dresses because it subverts it, but I also like it with skinny pant and leggings

i like the look. the balenciaga look ridiculous though, totally not translatable to life.

they were at pucci too

"vertiginous" means causing vertigo, or something that is REALLY HIGH UP!!

those chloe's are amazing

another of my favorites this season, alexander mcqueen, from style.com

 

[Kimkhuu]

[.francesca]

you don't have to apologise! not everything is for everyone

but they are an example of vertiginous heels, no?
