Spring 2013: Celine

Minimalists still haven't moved away from the hey days of Helmut Lang and Ann Dem (1994 anyone?) except to make things look abit more ill-fitting.

Not only is it determinely unlike the show-stopping baroque platforms of the shoes today, they are actually the soul/sole of ugly - you can hardly call them utilitarian!
