Cobra Feet

Some of my picks for SS07 footwear...
Miu Miu's satin pumps were gorgeous, and I especially loved the nude-purple combination. Not only is it pretty, but it's right on par with spring trends.

Obviously, nude is going to be big. Ergo, a classic yet of-the-moment choice is YSL's peep-toe slingback. The peep-toe style and snakeskin never go out of style, and the nude, despite its trendiness, is pretty timeless.

I also really loved Chloé's shoes this season. Despite a lackluster collection of clothes, the shoes' brassy buckles and rich leather make for a studious yet cute look that's very wearable.


Christian Lacroix and Prada made shoes that epitomize the childish-ethnic motif of the season, with bright colors and crazy add-ons, they're crazy and adorable.


And Givenchy carried the idea in a whole different direction, producing shoes that are definitely ethic and child-inspired (hence batik prints and crochet), but much more gloomy and tough, and reminiscent of Balenciaga's fall equestrian platform booties. While not being perfect for the spring and summer months, they're certainly interesting, unique, and memorable.


Balenciaga's robot platform sandals, along with Marc Jacobs' jeweled heels and Viktor and Rolf's chandelier pumps, are some of the most extraordinary shoes I've seen in a long time. The glitter, the shine, the height, oh my! The Balenciagas are as if you took your Pierre Hardys to the mechanic, while the Marc ones are like a glorious, futuristic treasure. The ones from Viktor and Rolf seem like you were dancing in Louboutins, slipped, and your feet simuntaneously hit the chandelier and broke your pearl necklace, and then it all ended up on your shoes.
