Tragic Tuesday

When one thinks of the word “Tragic” many things may come to mind. A heartbreaking tale or a film, a certain situation you may find yourself in…or the recent trend that is supposedly set out to take over the Fashion World in the Spring of 2011. Be afraid…be very afraid.

Love them or hate them, shoes can be a woman’s best friend (along with diamonds, of course). After all, small fortunes can be spent on lovely pairs of shoes; you may find yourself spending hours in a pair that just don’t fit right all for the sake of their beauty. And yet there are the ones that catch your eye, ever so often, for all the wrong reasons entirely. We’ve all been there. We’ve all seen a pair of shoes that have rendered us inquisitive by its odd nature.

Trends come and go as do the seasons; it’s their nature. But certain trends belong in the past and should remain there. Such can be said for…FLATFORMS!!! That’s correct, no pretty little platform pumps or anything of the type for the upcoming season, but Flatforms! Once popular in the 1970’s, major designers such as Prada and Fendi are trying to place them back in style.

Fendi gets funky all wrong.

Forget Wedges, flatforms are the new “It” Shoe. And why shouldn’t they be? Haven’t you ever wondered how it would feel to walk with a block attached to your foot? Or perhaps you were of fan on the American 1960’s television show “The Munsters” and wished to capture Herman’s best accessory? And for the affordable price of only $1,067.60 you can get your very own broken ankle…courtesy of Fendi. They’re also said to give the illusion of longer legs…unfortunately there is no illusion to hide the monstrosity of these shoes.

Sardonically yours, BHB
