They remind me of the Nina Ricci from Fall '09. & Antonio Berardi from '08? Some of the other shoes from Noritaka Tatehana remind me of fetish 'King/Queen' shoes that you can see at punitiveshoes.com (NSFW!!!!). Shoes for the stage or the bedroom, but not something most of us would ever try to fit into a 'normal' wardrobe.
Well now. This isn't so surprising.
Here's the queen of bizarre/borderline dangerous shoe statements, Lady Gaga, falling on her ass in her unnervingly crazy shoes. At first I thought Gaga fell in those heeless "Night Makers" she's been wearing constantly for the past few months. Upon closer inspection, they're actually a single hooved sky-high platform also by Noritaka Tatehana - the Japanese designer behind Gaga's "Night Makers".
Whether or not she took a misstep in the super-high platforms or got caught on her chaps - which not only look like they're attached to the shoes, but also feature some kind of pant-cape - is unknown. The point is that it's nice to see some reality in Gaga's image - I have never believed for one second that she has never fallen in any of her bizarre, freakshow discotart heels. It's nice to see photographic evidence of such. And as I've said many times before, people falling is always funny. Especially famous people.
Speaking of Gaga, I've created a collection based on her eye-catching and possibly ankle breaking footwear. Check it out!
