Spring 2008 Milan Fashion Week Shoe Trends: Ethnic Inspirations
Posted on September 26th, 2007 by jitterbugbaby under Fashion Week, Missoni Shoes, Platforms, Pumps, Sandals, WedgesThank goodness Milan Fashion Week Spring 2008 is providing us with some more interesting out there shoes than New York did.

Alessandro dell’Acqua seems to be taking some inspiration from the tight-laced traditional Japanese kimono look (he also has a whole lot of obi belts in his collection that I love), including an elaborate version of the okobo or geta.

But Missoni is my favorite (well, my favorite for style, not for creativity) with this not-so-ethnic but oh-so-pretty chunky sandals that are a sort of hybrid of wedges and pumps (wumps).
