Paris Fashion Week Spring 2009: Heel Detail Wrapup
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by Shomore under Chanel Shoes, Christian Dior Shoes, Fashion Week, John Galliano Shoes, Spring 2009 Shoes, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) ShoesEach fashion season, it’s always fun for me to see what the designers do to that shoe part called the heel. Paris Fashion Week tends to bring out the most beautiful and sometimes the most outlandish heels of all the fashion shows and Paris Spring 2009 was no exception. Here’s a quick retrospective of the heels. Which were your favorite?
John Galliano swirly metallic platform shoe
Alexander McQueen amber heel and tornado heel
Miu Miu and the painted wedge with burlap sack bow heel
Lanvin bejeweled heel
Chanel duster heel
Stella McCartney clear chunky heel
Dior fertility goddess heels

YSL and the wireframe heels


My personal favorite was the YSL wireframe heel above.

YSL, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and those first McQueens are my favourites.

I really like the YSL!!!

Ah… so many shoes, so few dollars in my wallet! McQueen, Galliano, OK all except the Chanel and Stella McCartney ones (well, I only want the YSL sandals, not the boots) need to be mine ASAP.

What a great designer shoes. Each and every shoe here is beautiful But i like John Galliano’s swirly metallic platform Shoe in RED and Alexander McQueen’s tornado heel the most.

Beautiful in an artistic way. And I will have to agree with the post above “So many shoes…so few dollars in my pocket.”

I saw a group on Facebook yesterday called, “When I get tired of shopping, I sit down and try on shoes.”
Pretty cool shoes.

Very interesting and beautiful shoes! Though I have to admit, I’m not a fan of the clear chunky heels!

I love all of them EXCEPT the Lanvin ( looks like something I could make from the craft store with a glue gun ) and the Chanel ( Malibu stripper heels ) …
The others are amazing!

oddly, I am not a fan of any of these except one.

What a crazy idea! These shoes are not for wearing.
January 15th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
The Dior fertility goddess heels in pink are DIVINE! Also LOVE the John Galliano swirly metallic platform shoe in red and the Alexander McQueen amber heel boots! If you like the Galliano shoes, you should check out the hand carved wooden shoes by Karo — if you do an search on Ebay for “Karo wooden shoes” you will see what I mean!

I like the last ones. They are SO AWESOME. Wondering, how much could these shoes cost?
June 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Designer shoes this spring have been around $750-1200 for pumps, $2000+ for boots. The prices have really increased even from a year ago.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I am going to need a little time alone after viewing these shoes…especially the last pair…whew..getting hot in here
September 14th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I like the last ones. They are SO AWESOME
October 2nd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
To be true, I only like the last two shoe styles! But they are awesome!

Wow I love the design on those shoes, they look so good!
March 22nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm
WOW! I really love the Galliano metallics and also the amber by McQueen! They remind me of a pair I saw on Demi Moore once and I always wondered where she got those little beauties!
Thanks for the article

Wow I love the John Galliano & the Dior Fertility collection, fantastic and ubercool colours!
March 29th, 2010 at 5:36 am
The fertility goddess heels get my vote!
June 15th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
That makes sense.
July 11th, 2010 at 2:29 am
