CO-ORDS CHOICE HIGH HEELS, H I G H S TA N DA R D S BY BONOLO MASHILO T here’s just something empowering about being a few inches taller. A woman in heels trusts her game, needs no validation and is almost always on a mission. From the Prada platforms, Gucci wedge, Miu Miu peep toes right up to the Christian red bottoms, High heels are a pleasure with pain. It might be subtle, but you can always tell what message a women in heels is sending across when she walks past. Like everything else in fashion, there’s a design for every occasion, a colour for every season and most importantly - a statement behind every fashion item. The aim is to make sure your shoes speak on your behalf and represent you well. Nude, plain and flat pumps on a Sunday afternoon or on a day at the beach send across a relaxed stylish laid back vibe. While the same pair worn to the office on a Monday morning meeting might just make you look far too laid back for the job description. Shoe designers keep stretching their creative consciousness in order to accommodate every personality, occasion and trend .2015 is all about acquiring the right height, do not underestimate the power of a few inches.
