Freak-Shoe Friday
Freak-Shoe Friday: Most Vicious Heels Yet!
May 4th
Vicious & spectacular, the “Fang” shoe created by Iris van Herpen & United Nude for La Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris, is a definite freak of a shoe. But this time around, it’s an amazing freak shoe! One to believe that the heels makes (and ultimately sells!) the footwear, this one definitely takes the attention-grabbing cake. Arrive at any event outfitted in these pony hair booties & you won’t be left alone for long (up to you to determine whether this is a good or bad thing!).
It’s not clear yet whether these carnivorous platforms will ever be produced for the general public, but if they ever will be, I’d not wait long to replace the plain brown laces with some funky neon orange or yellow ones, à la Stolen Riches, for an extra fierce effect.
Would you wear these fangs?!

Freak-Shoe Friday: Boot or Hat?!
Apr 27th
Ok, so technically this ain’t no shoe. Or a boot. But it’s still freaky fashion, baby! I’ve got to thank fellow Canada-land designer @WeeziClothing for this fine find. I’d seen the boot-turned-bag version but never it’s sister hat design. Oh, how wearing the set would tickle Schiaparelli pink! You know, if she were still alive & all.
I have an old pair of Fornarina stiletto boots mutating in my closet that would be an ideal boot candidate for a DIY version of this noggin accessory. Maybe it’ll be my next project! Maybe I’ll blog about it.
Then again, maybe not.

Freak-Shoe Friday: Sandcastle Feet
Apr 20th
Now get yer minds out of the gutter, people! These are sandcastle shoes, not penis branch shoes. Geez. Not that this makes ‘em any less weird, mind you (although if phallus footwear is what your after, you might want to skip to this post).
Igor Dewe, French designer & performer (with a degree in fashion design & pattern drafting, no less) surely has a knack for originality. I’d have never come up with sandcastle tower erection heels all by my lonesome. Well, not sober, anyhow.
Maybe it’s just me, but these kinda look like a perverted version of Alexander McQueen’s Armadillo platforms. With hairy legs.
That is all.

Freak-Shoe Friday: Hector the Smurf!
Apr 13th
Last year, I remember seeing a plethora of these boots in what I believe is their white & original version, on a multitude of women’s feet in Italy. And I thought they were bad then. In white. Now it seems that these Argentinian “Hector” perforated boots have taken their slovenly sloppy joe style to Smurf Village.
Remember that scene in the movie where Juno throws up “blue sh#t” in her step mom’s urn? That’s the kind of image that pops to mind when staring at these lovelies. Not quite as cute as a cuddly little Smurf!
The insult to this shoe injury? They don’t come cheap. $366 at Luisaviaroma.com. That’s more $$$ than UGG Boots, people. And we all know what I think of them…
That is all.
