Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton SS 2010 RTW

Is it just me, or have many designers forgotten the meaning of the phrase ‘Ready to wear’ during the Spring-Summer 2010 runway shows? I know the runway is about drama, but more actual wear-ability in RTW lines would be nice to see.
Am I being too judgmental?
Perhaps I am in the minority here, but, I am willing to take the risk of being called ‘unfashionable’ (or worse) when discussing the footwear that made it’s appearance at this week’s Louis Vuitton RTW runway show.

Called “terrific—modified clogs, moccasins and penny loafers, with kitten heels and feathery tufts” by Cathy Horyn at the New York times – I must, respectfully and vociferously, disagree!
We are, after all, speaking of these shoes:
And, painfully, all of these:
About the only thing I liked on the runway was the playful beaded take on the classic LV monogrammed bags (Which, if you take off that over-sized, fringe tassel, is kind of adorable):
Let me be clear on this.
I love that Marc Jacobs is unpretentious and playful with fashion. Really, I do.
And, the idea of LV embracing MJ and adding a bit of play into their line is a nice idea – in theory.
But, please……..Let’s hope designers and fashion houses remember that we regular people need to do more than look at our fashion. We need to be able to wear it, too.

[...] On a positive note, the SS2011 Louis Vuitton shoes do not have me drawing back in horror as I did for the fuzzy-tasseled shoes Marc Jacobs created for last spring’s SS2010 LV collection. [...]

Late reply, but I couldn't pass this on….
They're unusual indeed, now I do hope they are comfortable to compensate with their unattractiveness…I mean, seriously? And the price tag is probably enormous too…urghhh
Fashion, Fashion, when you become too irrational…

I think that I am just not remotely BOHO enough to dig these. I like cleaner lines most of the time.

I feel relieved to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't like those shoes. I might assume the shitzu stuff, but I'm really not into clogs.
Both are too much. It's classy only because it's Louis Vuitton. But it's not beautiful.

I love the idea of kitten styles – but pull it a little back, please. It’s that difficult balance between conceptual & practical. Marc Jacobs has been playing with expanding men’s comfort zone in shoes for awhile as well – so I’m totally unsurprised that he was having fun with it. It’s just a bit more avante than RTW & I’m having trouble feeling how these will translate over to retail.

Marc Jacobs said that black studded shoes was not what he wanted to see on girls. He is introducing such unusual things that it is refreshing. I don’t know that I saw one platform shoe in his New York show, not did I see any here. After the runway looks, it will be fun to see what will be in the stores.
When MJ took his bows at the end of the show, he was wearing a pair of these shoes.

I do think Marc Jacobs is a genius. But I dont like the shoes. I feel like there are little dust wands on each shoe
