Prepare for Dizzying Heights for "Swaggerers"

Christian Louboutin has announceed that he is to design a spike-stiletto with a staggering eight-inch heel. Louboutin-loving celebrities, such as Victoria Beckham (below) have been wobbling around in the designer's seven-inch version for seasons now and I think 8 inches will be no match for them. The new name for such vertiginous shoes is the 'swaggerer.' These are definately not designed for running after a bus or moving about on public transport. These are red carpet shoes, where you get out of the car, walk a short distance and you get back into a car.

Chanel Spring 2009 Shoe Collection

The Chanel Spring 2009 Shoe Collection is rather unsual but very wearable. I love the simplicity of the shoes which have been spiced up with the furry balls on the heels. Some may say they are a little boring but I think the wearble colours give them an edge.





In this collection is also the most talked about shoes, the Chanel "Miami Vice" Spring 2009 Shoe, with a heel in the shape of a gun, that Madonna wore to the premier of her film in New York.

"Lagerfeld had been inspired by an image of a gun he saw somewhere, and he gave the tear to shoe designer Laurence Dacade, who employed plexi to make them functional. Voila! The “Miami Vice” shoe, as it’s called in Chanel’s ranks, is born. And yes, you’ll see them in stores." - FashionWeekDaily.

Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Shoe Collection

The Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Shoe Collection is feminine, sexy and fun. I love the bows on the straps and the chain anklets with the crosses. These are typically Lacroix and would be a dream for Lacroix fashionistas.

Versace Spring 2009 Shoe Collection

The Versace 2009 Spring shoe collection is filled with neutral, beige and white colours, and the designs are very detail orientated. Donatello's Versace collection is wearable with most outfits and for any occassion. Christian Louboutin started the coloured sole trend with his signature red sole and many designers have followed in suit. Donatello has opted for a yellow sole which brings vibrance to the collection. She also uses crystal heart adornments, and zips. We will definately be seeing a lot more of these shoes, on celebrities in spring.
