| There were times when footwear was used exclusively for practical needs. Besides, the footwear of that time was very plain and consisted of a flat sole and several straps that supported the whole construction. Now the situation has changed dramatically. |
 |
First of all, it refers to women’s footwear that has been given a status of symbol of style, fashion, social class, etc. The whole idea was inspired by popular TV series such as Sex and The City where sophisticated women revere expensive designer shoes as an idol.
Women are obsessed with luxurious footwear manufactured by famous designers. But what place should footwear actually occupy in our life? Do not we pay too much attention to trifles? |
  |
| Not in the same scale but men are also involved in the process of footwear popularization. Men are becoming more and more hard-to-please. Footwear designers get Hollywood actors and actresses involved into advertising campaigns. Such collaborations favor that shoe brands extend their production into new areas. |
 |
| During several latest seasons shoes brands have changed constantly but main trends repeat from time to time. Every new season fashion lover are waiting for a new collection to come out, but in fact we see all the same every time. Shoes evolve, but the whole sense is still the same. Pointed toes change into round and then into square. Then everything begins again. Referring to sole shapes, it was long ago when platforms, heels, wedges, etc were first designed. And since then they remain the same, change only accessories and shapes. |
 |
| As a result we have got lots of unnecessary items at home that stuff up our life. I do not want to understate importance of footwear, but too much is never good. Every fashion lover should stop for a minute from running around fashionable stores and think about it. |

| There are footwear brands that are focused on comfortable and quality shoes, there are others that are concerned with fashionable look, and still there are brands that are oriented on shocking models, extravagant designer decisions and looks. The British brand Insa is precisely such a brand. Their every collection is a shock followed by an enormous success. If you need proofs, here you are. |
 |
| Recently Insa presented a new shoe that can be considered as a masterpiece. In fact, Insa designer announced that a new heel is created specially for the British Tate Gallery. The grotesque shoe looks like a fool’s footwear that is made on the basis of another Insa shoe from Spring – Summer 2010 ready to wear collection presented by the brand. |
 |
| Actually, only the upper part resembles its prototype, while the heel and the platform are worth a place in the gallery. In some gorgeous way the designer combined incompatible materials: leather with bright prints, beads, pastes, and the most amazing one – material obtained from elephant’s manure. However, I would prefer not to know about the fact. Anyway, the shoes look gorgeous in spite of being made from such super unusual material. According to Insa representatives, they just wanted to express their support for eco friendly trend. They affirm that utilization of such extraordinary material will contribute to ecology. |
 |
But that was too little for the designer who trimmed the sole with pink beads and placed each heel on a white pearl. By the way, the heels are 10 inches high, which equals over 25 cm. That is a really dizzy height.
As I have mentioned at the beginning, this work of art was designed for the exhibition, however, Insa offers the public to order it via their official website. I just wonder if any fashionista will ever dare to put these grotesque shoes on. |
