Are You Up For a Shoe Change?

Feb 27, 2008 @ 1:38pm

SHOE!.jpgShoes, as we all know, are a personal decision.


A lot of women are one-shoe kind of women, buying Chanel spectators, Tod’s moccasins, or Havaianas every season no matter what that seasons' runways dictate.

But in light of what's happening right now on the runways, we're wondering: Do you vary your shoe choices based on the whims of a designer, buying into giant platforms from Lanvin and high-heeled sneakers from Dries?

With Dame Vivienne showing strange duck-like square shoes, and Nicolas Ghesquiere making a serious case for a return to Manolo-esque points at Balenciaga; here at Fashionista, we wonder, will you abandon your round toed shoes of the past couple years?

We all remember a time in the not-so-recent past when Carrie Bradshaw and friends made the Pointy Stiletto Pump a way of life, but could seasons of sweet Marc Jacobs Mary Janes be so déclassé all of a sudden? One has to hope that when you buy $700 shoes that you can wear them outside of 4TS for more than one season, and yet, fashion exists to change, doesn't it?

So will you drop your Miu Miu flats in favor of uber-pointy heels circa 1999? How about for square-toed flats circa never?

Believe it or not, we really are dying to know!

Do you have ANY clue of where on eath Lily Cole has gone?! I have been following her career for the longest now, and she just seemed to slip away. I know she had a photo shoot sometime in January with Juergen Teller, but she hasn't been in many fashion shows this season. There are only about 4 shows that I know she was in and those were, Hermès, Anne Valérie Hash, Christian Lacroix, and Paul Smith. Maybe by some chance she and Marilyn Manson are finally getting to filming Phantasmagoria (fingers crossed).
Thanks, Modesto

Modesto! Fear not - Lily has been filming Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in Canada. In fact, she's put her modeling career (and her entrance to Cambridge) on hold to pursue a career as an actress.

The Daily Mail must have read your mind since they put up pictures of her on set just yesterday.

So don't worry! And yeah, we're really into her, too.
