Posted on January 22nd, 2008 by shoesense under Dior Shoes, Hot Shoe Deals and Steals, WedgesIn fact, I’m talking about one shoe–this:
Galliano used it over and over throughout his (what else?) extravagant and luxurious Spring 2008 Paris show. It comes in all the primary colors, glowing bright in yellow, crimson, purple, fuchsia, lime–but also in some “neutral” shades such as black, white, brown, dove gray, and beige:

Again, perfect showmanship! These wedges are bound to become THE hot item from the Dior house in all matters of footwear. They’re impossible, impractical, over-the-top–true.

(They might also cause the careless user to throw a hip, too, so use extreme caution!)

First saw an open wedge/architectural stilletto in a nine west ad - featuring a pregant woman running, of all things. Not sure if I’d wear it, but my hubby saw one a few weeks ago & thought it was interesting.

I saw a shoe from John Galliano, on a model inthe FAll 2008 Fashion Magazine, the one with Justin Timberlake on the cover. I need to know how I can purchase that shoe.
