Gold On My Black Suede Heels

# The original concept of the heel was to be the all black heel but during the later stages of the design process, we decided to give it a gold highlight. 

# The primary idea was a shoe that was posh yet quirky as we hope to give the pieces the image of being stylish but not too serious. Hence, the purple interior rather than all black.  

# Most of the current designs are instilled with the 60's "young spirit". Fresh & bold is the theme.

# Since I opted for the 4-inch heel, the challenge was to capture the same definition a 5-inch heel gives. The cut and curves are important.

# The platform curve was a pending design but applied it anyway, to differentiate from other heels. It'll be a reoccurring look in the current designs.

# I feel that the color palette used, convey the feelings of smooth & velvety - luxurious.

# Extra padding for the ball of the foot was inserted since the shoe is meant to be a versatile heel - more walking time with more comfort.

# The end: my first completed handmade high heel beauty.

Heels, Bello~!

Ciao!

I was reading my previous blog entry on why women should wear high-heels/stilettos/pumps, and I have to say it really looks like a blatant attempt by me to create a subconscious need in your mind to buy the heels I am selling (which are very delicious looking). I really do not want my blog to be like a magazine that just promotes products, if only a little... 

A real depiction of the small streets of Italy | Not my photo.

Having said that, I want to stress that if I were a woman, I'd be wearing heels everyday! Why? I went to Italy - Rome to be precise. First amazing thing: It's Italy. Second amazing thing: Italian women. 

From that day onwards, I find Italian women to be very attractive. They have an aura about them that oozes "edgy, rugged & sexy love". During my time there, I'd always see an Italian woman/girl with heels, period. I really think they have truly mastered the art of wearing high heels. They practically wear it all day; run with it; work with it; even ride bikes with it.

Heels over Head

In the generation where the bohemian lifestyle is rampant, the need to revive the respect for dressing is most urgent and in this case, dressing for the feet. I must confess to liking women in heels. I like women who walk with their heels right.

"We are women and women wear heels." - unknown source.

Why? 

1. Women in heels are more attractive/sexy/elegant
2. Heels/Stilettos/Pumps accentuate one of women's greatest assets - their legs
3. Wearing them exudes confidence
4. Each pair of heels/stilettos/pumps can be an art piece itself
5. I believe that they were made to complete the women's figure.

To be more technical, it seems that the heels/stilettos/pumps force the back of the body to arch, pushing the chest forward and the butt area rearward, thereby emphasizing on the curvy figure of the woman. Plus, height is increased. Very model-like no? 

And, it seems that men like an exaggerated female figure... mm-hmm. Yes, i know heels/stilettos/pumps are hell to wear and more so when trying to walk in one. But who says looking good is ever easy? Sacrifice for the sake of looking good I say. I feel it's a state-of-mind, once you start wearing them often enough, it becomes natural. With that being said, you still got to wear them heels/stilettos/pumps right, or you might as well store them away. I actually took time to research on how to walk in heels/stilettos/pumps the right way. So, flaunt those legs in heels/stilettos/pumps for the street is your catwalk!
