The Heel Is Dead, Long Live The Heel!

This blog, in its first post, two months ago now, started with a de profundis for the stilettos. Stiletto heels lost designers' favour and above all you could see very little around. In the past years I sometimes played the game of counting girls walking around on high heel shoes or boots, and by the end of the day I always totaled a dozen if not more. This Winter they all bought flat motorcycle style or western boots, while only bimbos were wearing high heels.
But not everything is lost. I already spotted a few fashion magazine or TV editorials claiming the great return of high heels and high wedges for next summer and overknee boots for next year. In my opinion designers experimented on their own skin that high heels sell a lot better, and they are returning to the attack. We will see whether the audience will follow the trend or not.
