Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte Spring 2011 Shoes
posted by: Shomore in Rodarte Shoes on September 15th, 2010
In past seasons, Rodarte had shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood design some interesting footwear (think melting wax heels from the fall 2010 Kirkwood for Rodarte collection). So, I was anticipating something different and was not disappointed with the Spring/Summer 2011 Rodarte collection.
Rodarte designer Laura promised “every shade of brown you can imagine, seventies suburbia, wood paneling, gold, off colors like chartreuse—basically, a combination of all the things that represent the area [our childhoold backyard] to us” and this was evident in the hand-carved, sculpted platforms and heels that perfectly complimented the outfits. I wonder how long each of these heels took to shape. They are truly works of art.

It is interesting, the critics and fashion editors LOVE Rodarte. I don't get them. The clothing doesn't work for me, and the Kirkwood shoes always seem a bit too much. However, when I look at the collection as a whole, the shoes work with the clothing. (Just not for a 50-something year old Nana.)

These are a definite not, it not even hippie chic. The heel, although it is very creative it throws the rest of the shoe off.

These are beautiful! I love the upper of the sandal in the big picture! If only the heels were a bit more shapely…then they'd be perfect!

Creative, artistic, interesting…yet, clunky, cumbersome and NOT sexy. The heel portion looks like some sort of terrible skin disease from a distance.
