So what is up with the shoes stomping down runway this season? Flats everywhere! Yeah, duh, Dior stuck with some platforms, and of course there ARE heels in most of the shows. But there is also- oh so many flats. Certainly gorgeous flats, but still FLAT shoes. As in without a heel. I just feel like since everything else on that runway often is so unattainable to us mortals, shouldn’t the height of the shoes stick with that standard? The weight of the models. The price tags of the clothes. The hair-do’s. The straight face, no giggling. Impossible. Flat shoes? Not so impossible for the average girl. I don’t know, maybe I have the wrong attitude?

But looking back, I think of Naomi Campbell falling in Vivienne Westwood with a smile on her face. I recall Dior Resort models a few years back with their skinny, pale legs all over the place. And leave it to Alexander McQueen to include two big heels instead of one.

Oh, but stay tuned, because tomorrow I am going to contradict everything I just said about heels going flat these days.
