Stuart Weitzman brings back the Million Dollar Shoe, only cheaper

Comments

What recession? Stuart Weitzman is bringing back the bling with the return of the Million Dollar Shoe, which made its debut on the red carpet at the Oscars back in 2002.

The original shoe was encrusted with a whopping 464 diamonds (no big deal…) but has been revamped into a more affordable dream shoe dubbed The Millionairess. The diamonds have been swapped for Swarovski crystal straps and redesigned with a teardrop detail. Pictured above on mega-model Natalia Vodianova, Weitzman’s latest campaign shows the model and her shoes dressed down á la Calvin Klein ads. Because, hey, what else does one need with shoes like these?

Louis Vuitton show for Spring 2012 opened with the tinkling of a music box and the rising of a scrim to reveal a carousel carrying girls in pale dresses on cream-coloured ponies. It might have seemed a saccharine set-up, but such a response could just be a bad case of not getting it. The news of the season is gentle news. That’s what Marc Jacobs got so right at Louis Vuitton. All the white and those whitened pastels—a key colour trend, favoured by both traditionalists such as Ralph Lauren and more experimental types such as Christopher Kane and Hussein Chalayan—might have appeared to be borrowed from a bag of miniature marshmallows. But the candied palette was not there simply to satisfy a sweet tooth. It also appeals to a Bluetooth appetite when dished out in fabrics that are marvels of modern technology—things like foam organza, silk cellophane and laser-cut leatherette. For the theory-minded, it’s tempting to conclude from the fact that we live in times when you see toddlers dressed in skull patterns and infants swaddled in camo-print blankets that it’s only logical their moms should start playing with pink and baby blue.
