Alexander McQueen 2010 spring and summer elephant feet Shoes

Titanic in shoes

If you want to select the single most popular product in spring and summer 2010, Alexander McQueen, a high heeled shoe inspired by marine life, is definitely on the list. In fact, since last October's fashion week in Paris, the discussion on this pair of shoes has been endless. Fashion critics and bloggers take various aliases: "elephant foot", "pangolin", "tank", "vase", "monster", "alien", "Titanic"... Because even with the taller shoes, such a huge monster can only bow down. According to model Abbey Lee Kershaw, at that time, she and Natasha Poly only looked at the pair of shoes, and immediately turned off the invitation of the show. This sentence has led to more topics.

Three weeks after the end of the fashion week, when the McQueen show of a boa constrictor skin was like a foot shoe (which had not been put into production) and landed on the editorial board of the British edition of Vogue, the office exploded again. Fashion editors tried to try them on, measure them with their feet, and put photos on the Internet. "We can't even get out of the Tibetan clothes room if we wear it. We really can't understand how those models are wearing it to the T stage," he admired. "Foot shoes measured amazing 12 inches tall -- 30 centimeters.

At the 15th anniversary Francois Nars dinner, celebrity Daphne and fashion collector Daphne wore a pair of brown McQueen shoes.

Interestingly, women are not afraid of it, but are fascinated by it. At the 15th anniversary Francois Nars dinner, celebrity Daphne and fashion collector Daphne wore a pair of brown McQueen like shoes to be the first person to wear the shoes at non conference occasions. Prior to that, she also successfully challenged Nina Ricci's heels (that is the farewell of Olivier Theyskens). When asked about which shoes of Ricci and McQueen are more difficult to wear, she said, "McQueen is lighter, Ricci is heavier." The reason is that the latter has no heel support, so the waterproofing part is designed very heavily, which makes the wearer's center of gravity lean forward and the pressure is concentrated on the toes so that it is not easy to fall backward.

Beckham Victoria Beckham favors Antonio Berardi's heel boots, the height of the boot from the ground: 5.5 inches, and 14cm

The response of the public to the strange shoes was unusually warm. Whenever Guinness, Victoria Beckham and Lady Gaga make a new attempt to make a shocking surprise, many consumers will call the brand to buy the same money, which was unthinkable 15 years ago. Guinness said she used to buy 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) high heels in sex stores because other shops didn't have such high shoes. Today, however, "hate the sky high" has become the mainstream.

Nicholas Kirkwood, a cutting-edge designer, has a deep understanding of this. "When I graduated from college 5 years ago, I designed a series of shoes about 5 inches high, but buyers said they only sold 4 inches of shoes at most."

"Now, 5 inch shoes look normal," Kirkwood recalls. The fashion show and the red carpet are too influential. Overnight, your eyes have changed. " {page_break}

Strange Shoes

Celine 2009 spring and summer shoes

In an article last year, the fashion editor Lisa Armstrong of the times reviewed the development of high-heeled shoes in this century: "in the autumn and winter of 2002, Jimmy Choo released a hollowed laced boots, thus creating a brand new type of shoes -- high heels with no real value and only for viewing. After that, the buckle and tassel began to climb on the leg of the woman. In 2005, we found that toe sandals were also worn in winter. After half a year, boots were formally entered into the summer wardrobe. In 2007, the element of sexual abuse was so hot that the water table was as strong as the optimistic economic situation enough to overcome gravity. Thick bottom makes high heel shoes never seen tall and elegant, Yves Saint Laurent with 5 inch high Tribute shoes change tide brand. In 2008, the appearance of no shoes made everything more surreal. Marc Jacobs's heels were long and somewhat Daly style.

The new designer Nicholas Kirkwood, who designs women's shoes for Rodarte in 2009, is a designer and herself.

A sudden economic crisis did not extinguish the enthusiasm of designers. On the contrary, the variation of heel waves intensified in 2008. Over the past one or two years, we have witnessed the ever-changing heel of shoes -- from Prada's flower shape to Dior's naked girl to Chanel's light bulbs and Margiela's nails. We have a brand-new experience in the construction of shoes: see the hollow iron shoes of Celine, Lego's toy shoes of Balenciaga, McQueen's high heel shoes, Yves Saint Laurent's Eiffel Tower shoes. Lanvin Purple Satin symbolizes luxury, Givenchy pen straight lines tell pride, Rodarte spikes on the toe of Aukwu Jan Viv. These new, dramatic and dangerous high-heeled shoes occupy the T station, dominate the magazines, and describe them with astonishing and eyed eyes.

After Antonio Berardi released heels (left), Nina Ricci also quickly designed a (right) Kirkwood that the designers were fighting against each other. For example, if a designer introduces a highly praised slope shoe, another designer will try to create a more tricky one. Similarly, after Antonio Berardi released heels, Nina Ricci quickly designed one, and the slope was steeper, the details were more difficult and the momentum was more thrilling. Designers compete with each other in the competition of heel height. "Every designer feels like this. As long as the height goes up, everything will become more beautiful and more effective immediately." Kirkwood said.

The result of the joint efforts of the fashion industry is the birth of a new era. After the death of "It bag", we ushered in a higher threshold of "It shoe" - more daring in creativity, but only for people who are really obsessed with fashion. However, a series of problems follow: how long will the designer's interest in high heels continue? Is there any end to the experiment on shoes? Can a long heel stop the development? {page_break}

Technical decision height

At least in one thing, designers can reach a consensus that the current heel height is approaching the peak of technology allowed. Although the development of science has allowed designers to extend the range of 7 to 9 centimeters of traditional heels, everyone who broke their heels should know that the higher the possibility of breaking up, the greater the possibility. "When designing a pair of high-heeled shoes, the most important thing for technology is to ensure a strong heel to withstand the weight of the wearer and a reinforced shoe toe so that the shoe will not crack." Elizabeth Semmelback, curator of Toronto Beta Shoe Museum, said.

Most designers use heels made of ABS polymer, including the famous Manolo Blahnik and ChristianLouboutin. "ABS is the greatest invention of high heel manufacturing industry. With it, heels can be made into various shapes at the same time of pursuing height." Kirkwood said. The Blahnik symbol of the fine high heel is supported by a built-in steel needle, wrapped around ABS plastic and sealed with polyurethane. The 5 steel nails were pushed into the heel by the compressed air gun for further reinforcement. Finally, a screw was fixed through the insole to the heel.

Speaking of design, Blahnik said, "to build a 115 mm high heel shoe, the most important thing is to grasp the balance. To this end, I want to use a compasses, a ruler, my eyes and hands. " Some designers now use CAD computer aided design, while Blahnik insists on painting. "I am a traditionalist." He said.
