STYLE DRAMA

Helena Bonham Carter is facing a real style drama by wearing this weird pair of shoes.

The 42-year-old actress stepped out in spring-heeled shoes called Z-CoiL Mary Janes. The spring heel, supported by a 3in steel coil, is designed to act as a shock absorber. The rounded toe at the ball of the foot has a 3/4in cushion which lessens the impact of walking and prevent wear and tear on ligaments.

Though we respect people who choose comfort instead of fashion, we can’t stand these UGLY shoes.

Did we ever think the world’s ugliest footwear would appear in Vogue?

Raquel Zimmermann is wearing bright-orange Crocs in a spread of the September French Vogue. Carine Roitfeld, our beloved fashion editrix put that crocs in Vogue (actually they will never be in vogue), someone, call 911!

For the record, we are big fans of Alexander Wang. We love the grunge aesthetics which his torn denim and oversize blazers posses.

Can we be more impressed by the news that Wang is launching his footwear line?!

Perforated leather booties and a heel topped with fringe are aggressively sexy. Priced at $125 to $250, the shoes are definitely worth it.

It’s not any new revelation that Paris is a bad designer. We had proof of this yesterday, as Miss Bad Designer herself was  promoting her footwear line at Macy’s. Her creations, done in the typical yapping Hilton style - patent heels, slingbacks, peep toes, and bows - hardly overwhelmed us with joy and ecstasy.

While at the same time, Fergie launched her own shoe collection, preferring a more cool and edgy look than Hilton, with styles that include trendy strappy sandals, gladiators, and chunky platforms.

Sorry Paris, but after looking over both collections, our vote goes to Fergie.

We have never witnessed such ugly footwear on a celeb’s leg. These gladiator fit flops that Julianne Moore wore for a walk in SoHo must die! If there is a fashion hell, everyone there are wearing these. Please, never copy this style.

A California based company PG Lite produces these ugly ALEGRIA footwear, and on their web site they write: ‘ALEGRIA™ means HAPPINESS‘. They also are trying to convince us that, ‘a heavenly padded footbed really feels like you are walking on clouds‘.

They may be comfortble, but we will never be happy wearing this fashion horror.

To the upcoming line of exclusive hanbags created by Rei Kawakubo, Louis Vuitton is adding a collection of footwear that will be designed by London-based fashion master Hussein Chalayan. It means, that we will be able to see some edgy and quirky shoe styles - it is what we love about Hussein Chalayan.

And there is another collaboration upcoming - Kanye West has revealed to WWD that he’s working on a range of men’s shoes for the label. Kanye West - is a designer?

On the last day of the men’s shows in Milan, Fendi unveiled their new fashion trend - wedges for men. We know that male fashionistas are looking for something unique too, but could these wedges go off the runway in to the real closet?

The fashion world’s shoe guru, the master of the most coveted stilettos on the planet, Christian Louboutin, is presenting on netaporter.com the fall preview of his shoes.

The collection includes Louboutin’s signature platform shoes and sexy ankle boots with an oversized buckle trim. Our prediction is they are going to be the next “it” shoes of the upcoming fall. Mama Mia, we want them all!

We went gaga, when we saw a sketch of a Christian Louboutin invitation for his personal appearances that will be put on Barney’s window today. Louboutin will be on the fourth floor of the Madison Avenue flagship, May 1, and in the Beverly Hills store on May 7. Barneys New York creative director Simon Doonan told WWD today:

“Christian’s shoes are like the circus coming into town. Louboutins are a total drug and there is no methadone.”

Ohh, how we understand it. We are so in love with Christian Louboutin’s stilettos too.
