We’ve seen some outlandish creations so far on the runways of the Couture Spring 08 Paris fashion shows, and some of the shoes have been no exception.  There have also been some who’ve kept their shoes simple.

Riccardo Tisci did just that for the Givenchy show.  He clearly took some inspiration from the ballet, with outfits like this one.

Givenchy Spring 08

The runway was full of puffed skirts and tutu-like layers.  The shoes stayed simple to match, aping ballerina’s pointe shoe ribbons.  Perhaps not terribly interesting, but elegant and chic.

Instead of lots of different shoes, there were plenty of variations on the same theme.  To wit:
