Ugly Shoes

I'm intrigued with fashion's current fascination with 'ugly' shoes: the shapes are so unweildy, yet so interesting. You know these are either going to be highly prized or much reviled in later years. And they're hard to draw! It's hard to make something look more flattering yet grotesque enough to seem like current fashion (as opposed to just a badly rendered foot) if you don't get it juuuust right.
And I don't know if I did.

Well, it IS the latest shoe trend from Prada. Just go to prada.com and you'll see them. We predict they'll get tons of editorial, but I doubt they will translate to actual wear really well. But it's fun to look at!

Women as show ponies, clip-clopping around on the tips of their perfectly curved hooves.

I cannot lie; that's hot.

My friend Christine was clipclopping about on those very same heels... and she's pregnant! Some people just deal better with a higher center of gravity...
