Dries van Noten and the art of pattern

Posted by shoesense in Dries van Noten Shoes, Fashion Week, High heels

I’ve always had a soft spot for Dries van Noten’s shoes; unfortunately, some of his latest creations had filled me with dismay. However, I’m happy to report that the designer is back to his colorful, ethnic-inspired self in the latest runway show. I was simply delighted by the explosion of colors and patterns, expertly mixed-and-matched:

Gorgeous, no? This is one of the rare, rare occasions when I can actually see myself wearing something like this. I know!

The shoes were equally gorgeous, bursting with color and graphic prints, rich in texture and details. Just beautiful!

Dries van Noten redux: Not you, Posh!

The Manolo draws attention to these truly horendous trainers Victoria Beckham is sporting:

Upon seeing the horrors, a glimmer of recognition dawned upon me. Why, I had blogged about them a while ago: it’s these Dries van Noten clunkers!

You know, it may be time for Nurse Ratchett to get a style upgrade, but if that’s all $600 can buy her, she should forget it! When I blogged about them, I truly didn’t belive anyone would actually buy them, much less wear them. Oh, how wrong I was proven! I guess swimming in buckets of money would be the devil’s call to try everything at least once. Even as you’re committing undescribable sins against our retinas.
