This shoe caused a bit of furore when it hit the catwalk.
John Galliano’s enthusiasm of depicting his African experience through sandals that sport a minature African Fertility Goddess as the heel wasn’t exactly shared by all.
Perhaps instead of looking at it as stepping on the Goddess, she could be uplifting… Though a bit hard I’d imagine when one is pregnant!
Oh well, what is fashion and art if it isn’t subjective…
Marion Cotillard wore the Deese Sandals to the Bike In Style event in New York earlier this year (June 2009).
