Can You Walk in the Heels?

Do you think you can walk perfectly in all heels? If you say yes, maybe you won’t so confident when seeing the shoes showed here? The incredible pair of 8-inch heels was created by Christian Louboutin to raise money for the English National Ballet.

Sometimes girls think that the higher the heels of the pumps the better. But when they say ‘higher’ they don’t actually mean that a heel should be longer than 6 or 7 inches, and it definitely should come with a platform to keep the right balance. However, Christian Louboutin decided to surprise us all by creating a shoe with an eight-inch stiletto in a ballet style. Judging by the picture there is hardly a girl who could really wear such shoes, although we always have Lady Gaga.

Christian Louboutin said about his design:
“I could not help being inspired by English National Ballet… after all… isn’t the classical dancing ballet slipper the ultimate heel? The heel makes dancers closer than any other women to the sky, closer to heaven!”

Christian Louboutin designed these incredible shoes to auction off along with a number of other fashion items to raise funds for the English National Ballet. The silk Swarovski-encrusted heels are just one lot of many you might be interested in. Designers including Erdem, Giles Deacon, Moschino, Roksanda Ilincic and Julien Macdonald have made ballet-inspired pieces specially for the auction.

High-heels Became Comfortable

Great news for girls who love high heels! French designer Raphael Young has created a shoe that is sky-high and as comfortable as a flat shoe. Made with a flexible sole the shoe is said to have revolutionized shoe manufacture.

Raphael Young is so sure his invention will become a hit that he has patented it. ‘R-Flex’ shoes contain steel inserts in heels, a latex gel injection in leather soles and a rubber injection under balls of the feet. Besides, there is an ‘anti-twisting steel accessory’ which is intended to hold the shoe steadily and prevent the ankle from twisting.

Of course Raphael Young’s new creation can’t be cheap. You’ll have to invest up to £400 ($660) to get a pair but according to adverts it is worth it. You can wear the shoes all day long without ever feeling pain in your feet. Sounds a bit unreal.

Mr. Young said he had been planning to create comfortable shoes for 12 years. He wanted to make a shoe that would be more flexible and mimic the wearer’s natural walk.

The designer said:
[The factory] was manufacturing comfort shoes, almost ortho- paedic shoes, where the owner explained that he was looking for a solution to make the shoes more flexible, which could give real comfort if the shoes could accompany the natural movement of the walk. After trials and tests in the factory, I found the technical solution to make shoes as flexible and comfy as a ballerina pump. We patented it.”

The designer’s website describes R-Flex range as ‘dramatically improving the comfort and flexibility of the shoe while keeping an external look similar to any other standard shoe’.

Can you believe that this gorgeous woman is 50? Julianne Moore looks more elegant then ever in the new Talbots campaign. She wears a pair of simple red shoes and a camel coat, looking amazingly graceful. It is the second time she has modelled for the classic brand – in the spring she posed in shorts, camisoles and cropped jackets for a playful greenhouse shoot. The Hours star replaced the supermodel Linda Evangelista who was the brand’s face for the autumn of 2010.

Talbots says the new campaign, shot by renowned photographer David Sims, has a cinematic feel for the Oscar-nominated leading lady ‘while also capturing Ms Moore’s personality and classic beauty.’ The classic beauty adds her inimitable chic to the brand.

Michael Smaldone, Chief Creative Officer of Talbots, said: ‘Julianne Moore is a classic beauty, an extraordinary actress, mother, author and a true modern woman. She embodies the true essence of the Talbots’ brand platform.’

The adverts will launch in September and October in glossy women’s magazines and high-end fashion publications such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Glamour.

The brand, which is enjoying an image makeover through the allegiance with the effortlessly chic actress, has slogans including ‘We believe blazers are beautiful, but trailblazers are stunning.’ and ‘We believe that charm is the best accessory.’
