CRYSTALS

Crystals are having a moment. I picked up my own in Soho a few months ago. Chanel heels next...

SPIKE SHOES

As shoe designers seem to continue along their absurd trajectory of pain-infliction (yes Louboutin you sadist, the finger is pointing at you) I increasingly find myself identifying with my favourite Bond villain Rosa Klebb. Her poison-toed monk shoes paint her firmly as a girl not to be messed with rather than the infinitely less cool girl-crippled-in-pain look.
