Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton SS 2010 RTW

[Shomore]

Is it just me, or have many designers forgotten the meaning of the phrase 'Ready to wear' during the Spring-Summer 2010 runway shows?* I know the runway is about drama, but more actual wear-ability in RTW lines would be nice to see.

Am I being too judgmental?

Perhaps I am in the minority here, but, I am willing to take the risk of being called* 'unfashionable' (or worse) when discussing the footwear that made it's appearance at this week's Louis Vuitton RTW runway show.

We are, after all, speaking of these shoes:

And, painfully, all of these:

About the only thing I liked on the runway was the playful beaded take on the classic LV monogrammed bags (Which, if you take off that over-sized, fringe tassel, is kind of adorable):

Let me be clear on this.

I love that Marc Jacobs is unpretentious and playful with fashion.* Really, I do.

And, the idea of LV embracing MJ and adding a bit of play into their line is a nice idea - in theory.

But, please........Let's hope designers and fashion houses remember that we regular people need to do more than look at our fashion. We need to be able to wear it, too.
