Shining Mary Janes from Prada
Mary Janes came into fashion at the beginning of the 20th century as kid’s shoes, but soon they “grew up” and became popular with adult women. Initially the shoes came with a strap and a rounded toe, later on a number of fashion houses tried to breathe a second life into the model, namely equipped it with high heels, or embellished it with patent leather elements and or made its toes a bit sharper.
Now it’s Prada who launch their version of the celebrated Mary Janes. The designers preserved a rounded toe and the legendary strap, which makes you immediately recognize the famous shoes. Still, the shoes coincide with the current fashion for a single strap is in this summer.
However, the Prada Mary Janes have two controversial issues. The first of them is a high platfornm. If you imagine classic Mary Janes on a low platform, then you’ll see that the heel shape is perfect. Now it looks rather bulky and heavy.
The second issue is the color. Can you think of any suitable clothes to match these dazzling shoes? Can it be a short dress? Or shorts? What can be said for sure is that you ought to carefully select your outfits before going out in these Mary Janes.
The shoes look too correct, too reasonable, too prefect so that it may cause negative feelings rather than attract. It cannot be said for sure what creates such an effect; either it is the platform or the color. In other respects the shoes are prefect. Even its inner soles are made of soft leather.
The price for the Mary Janes from Prada equals to 600 pounds. All in all, they are too perfect, too loud, too original and… too expensive.
