Insa Shocks the Public Grotesque Heels for Tate Gallery
| 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. |

Besides, it features one of the latest trends of the shoe industry – nude shoe parts. And now here I have some more pictures of this fabulous shoe collection. Enjoy them! |

Enjoy Top 10 Weird Shoes
| In my opinion, shoes are necessary for people to feel comfortable, stylish, and, of course, not to go barefoot. But when I saw the pictures of these shoes my understanding of the whole fashion industry has turned upside down and now I do not know what shoes are supposed for. Here is my gallery of the weirdest shoes I have seen: |
 |
| I know that we live in the epoch of high technologies. Spy gadgets, potent skyscrapers, smart houses, and now hi-tech shoes. I wonder if the alarm rings, what does the owner of the shoe do? |
 |
| We all are meant to follow eco friendly tendency. Green cars, green clothes, stationary, bags and shoes. To tell the truth, I hoped that following the trend we will not be supposed to return in prehistoric ages. |
 |
| And this one… I do know what to say. Shoes are designed to prevent everybody’s eyes from seeing such a horror or on the contrary? |
 |
| The designer of this shoe must miss a lot the epoch of Inquisition and tortures. Anybody else want to join him? |
 |
| Would you think of this curved piece of material as a shoe if I have not mentioned it? Personally, I would not. |
 |
| Man and nature are very close to each other, they are even closer than you might think. Look at these shoes. Do not they make you think about some poor animal? |
 |
| Some renowned designers decided not to be aside the tendency and created these weird and incredible shoe models. You can see in the pictures works of Alexander McQueen and Nina Ricci. |
 |
| What a great option for rainy days. At last somebody thought about functionality and not about trends. |
 |
| Active people who love jogging and running will obviously appreciate the gadget. Such shoes are perfect for you though it look quite weird. |
 |
| And the last weirdness for today is this “boot” if it can be called so. Well, it must be perfect for severe winter and… remote village where nobody will see this. |
Alexander Wang: Shoe Collection Dedicated to Supermodels
I would call this one of the most extraordinary shoe collections of the last seasons. And the reason for it not the singularity of shoes presented in the collection. The point is it is dedicated to the models who usually take part in fashion shows of Alexander Wang. The shoe collection is designed according to the latest trends for Spring – Summer 2010.
I was surprised by the idea to name shoes by the models, but when I finally saw the collection I fell in love with designer’s imagination. He followed the image of each girl and could pass their characters into the shoes. In the result, each shoe model is unique and awesome. Let’s take, for example, Natasha Poli. The shoe was named Natasha Leopard Pump, and it reflects romantic style, modern image and sensitive nature of the girl.
Another girl Mirte Maas is a sporty girl with bold character. The same traits you can see in the shoe named Mirte Flat Boot. I admire how skillfully Alexander Wang has chosen the right style, design, height of a heel, color, material, and so on and so forth. The shoes seem to be a part of the girls, so much in common they have.
Freja Laced Bootie is dedicated to Freja Beha Erichsen, the girl who is stylish, beautiful, unique and strong. Her bootie is made of leather in black color with an unusual cuff, numerous zippers and a high heel. In a few words, the bootie is Freja’s lifestyle reflection.
Each shoe is great and singular. I would love to drive your attention to as many of them as it is possible. So, here I have a number of pictures for you to enjoy and share my admiration.
