HIGH HEELS


















It’s been fairly universally acknowledged that the shoe is the new must-have fashion item. Now that Hilary Alexander has declared it so, it’s official!

But not just any shoe, the so-called “killer heel” at heights of four, five, even six inches and bolstered by towering platforms and selling for more than $2,000 on average. For spring 09 these shoes are piled high with adornments, like the Louis Vuitton “Spicy” sandal collection seen above. Rare and exotic leathers, tribal-inspired fringe, beads, sequins, rivets and almost anything else you can imagine on a shoe has been piled on to these few pairs. Victoria Beckham and Madonna have both been seen in the collection.
