YSL Spring 2009 Heels: Wireframe as its Best
posted by: Shomore in Fashion Week, Spring 2009 Shoes, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Shoes on October 3rd, 2008
Back in my college days, I would often have second thoughts about my chosen major, computer science & engineering. Although there was never a wait for the bathroom stalls of the engineering building due to the insanely high ratio of male:female in the engineering classes (it was only time in my entire life where the boys had a longer wait time than the girls), more often than not the classes and material weren’t interesting enough to me.
How I wish the professors would have taken a cue from the YSL Spring 2009 runway! In graphics, if I were given an assignment to create a 3-D wireframe of the YSL heels below, I surely would have excelled. In physics, if I were asked to measure the pressure and force exerted on the heel, I would have been a much more devoted student than I was.
School aside, I love the practicality of this shoe. In a season where shoes have been soaring to new heights, it’s downright refreshing to see shoes which dare I say, might actually be walkable? Chunky heels are often too bulky for my tastes, but the thin metal/ lattice work structured heels helped offset the thickness of the heel and help with balance. I’m also a fan of the cage fishnet on the vamp and around the ankle. Toes might accidentally get caught in the netting when putting on the shoe, but the waffle grid lines sure are neat

Arrrrggghhh!!! I felt bad when I saw these shoes. They're great, but they remind me of my sculptures. I should have created real, wearable ones. Sigh. Oh well.
Here they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/52525331@N00/sets/72…

When they turn up online or in stores, we will try to let folks know. Don't forget, most fashion shows beat the product release by at least 6 months…

Oh my–LOVE!! To the same degree that I detested those Calvin Klein off-kilter cubist heels a few weeks back, I am smitten with these YSL creations. Now, THESE are art shoes. If my pockets were a little deeper, I’d snap these up and slide my feet right in. Thanks for sharing. (Did I mention I loved these? I love them.)
