DSquared2 Shoes for Fall 2008: Anklebreakers
posted by: shoesense in Fall 2008 Shoes, Fashion Week, High heels, Shoe Trends, Walking Disasters on February 23rd, 2008
Ok, so the twins of DSquared2 put on in Milan this week a sexy-librarian show with tight pencil skirts, plaid, tacky fishnets and mile-high stiletto heels that we’re supposed to fall gaga over. You will excuse me if I don’t. For one, yeah, yeah, I know, it’s just about every horny man’s fantasy, and as such, is as trite and commonplace as it can be. For another, even the models couldn’t keep these anklebreakers on their feet and several, in fact, paraded on the runway while holding the shoes in their hands. ‘Cause everybody knows that’s the oh-so-sexy alternative to the sexy ankle-cast! Brrrrr! One reviewer for Style.com called this trend “sinister eroticism”–it has seeped into every collection for the fall, and it’s something to be mulled over.
On the other hand, I thought the lightning bolt heel was pretty cool. You know, if it was about 4 inches lower or something.

There were some Lightning bolt D-squared available at Zappos several months ago. It’s worth a try to check out Zappos,com or their sister site 6pm.com

Wow. Okay, so I'm a model, and I can't believe the girls would actually carry these shoes! Besides that being totally unprofessional, they're not bad at all. Pucci had way worse shoes a few years ago, that I had to walk a veeeery long runway in, btw, they were like 7 inches tell including heel and platform under the toe.
Girls today, my goodness.

I would love to purchase the last pair of shoes with the lightening bolt heels! I think that's the pair Beyonce is wearing in the Nov 08 issue of Essence! How can I purchase them?

The last one is great. The lighting bolt heel design is so cool.

OK, the lightning bolt is cute, but – money not being an issue in dreamland, unlike real life – I would wear the triple-strap plaid mary janes in an instant. Echoes of my never-quite-a-goth high school years, perhaps.
