Fashion victims know that, for some weeks now, they have been available in selected Valentino boutiques around the world (including that of Montenapoleone in Milan and Piazza di Spagna in Rome), dizzying platform shoes of the Roman maison that left them speechless last January during the Code Temporal Haute Couture Spring / Summer 2021 fashion show. Baroque, bright, bold, opulent and tall as never seen in a collection of the label.
A real gem immediately added in wishlist from the planetary fashionistas but that alone Lady Gaga probably until some time ago would have thought about showing off with nonchalance.
And, instead, today the shoes with maxi wedge they are experiencing a new golden age. Not just fashion accessories: platform e plateau they are also indicators of evolution and, unfortunately, social involution. Let’s look at the Versace branded stratospheric shoes worn in tandem and posted on Instagram by Ferragnez, able in a round of likes to unleash the ire of the haters because to show them off not only Chiara but also Fedez.
Who tells them to keyboard lions that in the 70s the maxi soles were very popular not only on the feet of women of all ages (a very young Jodie Foster also wears them in Taxi Driver, cult of 1976) but also and very much in the male version, representing a real never again without musicians, celebrities, artists and boys used to of discos?
After experiencing another glorious decade in the 90s, reintroduced not only into pop culture by the Spice Girls but also into High Fashion by Vivienne Westwood (and it is immediately 1993 with the epochal fall on the catwalk of Naomi Campbell from a platform of 23 centimeters), in the 20s of the Third Millennium fashion (again) consecrates them in shoe racks of every latitude, genre and longitude.
She timidly reappeared at the Fall / Winter 2019-20 fashion shows, put in stand by due to Covid and advanced slippers, platform and plateau XXL are back decisively in Autumn / Winter 2021-22 and literally populated the Spring / Summer 2022 catwalks. Sole over and soaring heels proposed in all sauces: sandals, boots, moccasins, sneakers, sabot e ankle boots.
Excessive, who can deny it, have always divided. The purists with minimal DNA will not stoop, ops, they will never lift to put them on their feet, swearing eternal fidelity to the stiletto heel.
In any case, advancing several centimeters in height is tempting to everyone and that is why it is very easy to give in to the purchase. The proposals for this season are many and ideally connect even distant fashion universes such as Prada (the heel chunky of autumn footwear conquers the gen Z) and Versace (the colorful pop platformers are an absolute fashion fetish spotted at the feet of many stars, from Elodie to Ambra Angiolini) which re-proposes mammoth soles also for Spring. Among the wowest spotted at the latest Fashion Weeks are Moschino’s mega plateau shoes: very glittery, very high, already adored. With their sorbet nuances, they immediately ferry towards days of light and temperate climate. While Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini raises the sabot peep toe.
In short, after the pandemic, the message is clear: it is time to return to stand out on the city streets, without giving up the essential comfort.
In the gallery platform and pleteau spotted at the Fall / Winter 2021-22 fashion shows + shopping proposals definitely up to par
