HIGH HEELS,

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.
