Vivienne Westwood’s Rocking Horse platforms have been around for a while, and you don’t really see a lot of them around these days, so I was a little bit surprised to see these ones rock up (yeah, yeah, let me have my pun…) on My Wardrobe. They’re selling for £120, which is less than you’d expect for the rocking horse style, but that’s because these are made of plastic. Yes, plastic. What’s with all the plastic, recently, Dame Viv?
Despite my great love of all (or almost all) things Westwood, these aren’t my style and I don’t think they’d be particularly flattering to the leg. If that doesn’t bother you, and you just think they’re plastic fantastic, however, you can buy them here.
Not my style either… I can’t imagine an outfit for them!
Dana´s last blog ..Weekend outfit
*sings* life in plastic, it’s fantastic. I couldn’t help myself…but they’re way ugly shoes that I wouldn’t let near my feet.
I kinda want to take the wing bits off these, prettify and shrink them, and put them on a really cute pair of heeled pumps.
The rest of the shoe is butt-ugly though.
did ms.westwood design these for iccarus?
I think these would make good Polyvore challenge…
Ooh, that’s a great idea! I’ve been looking for something to use for the next one – would be fascinated to see how people would wear these!
Oooh, do it! I for one, love these shoes [not so much the plastic, but the style] and would wear these a few times a week!
$120 for *plastic* shoes?! I don’t care who designed them, that is a rip-off.
I usually love the shoes you feature here, but those are just plain awful.
Hermes wants his shoes back.
These are in the Circus collection, by Melissa. The other shoes in the collection are far prettier, I really don’t know why these shoes are done around my beloved Melissas. The “Cirque” ankle boot, in black, is my dream ankle boot for the rainy winter here in the South of Brazil http://ofantasticomundodeyasmim.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/melissa-cirque-2.jpg
as well as the “Lady Dragon” with crystalls http://fofoca.org/blogs/maetosemroupa/wp-content/midia/Lady-Dragon-+-J.-Maskrey.jpg – it’s the same shoe as the ones from Melissa+Vivienne Westwood that you wanted so badly in nude (it’s an old design from Melissa), the new “ocean” http://pfantastic.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/cha_ocean.jpg (same as last year’s summer collection, but with a button lol) the Temptation http://ofantasticomundodeyasmim.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/melissa-temptation.jpg and the most wonderful of them all, the “magic” melissa!! http://ofantasticomundodeyasmim.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/melissa-magic-2.jpg
Aren’t they just awesome!?
