Stilettos
What: Yes, stilettos are back. Well, it's not that they ever went anywhere - but they're once again dominating the runways, and that is to say that the chunky-heeled revolution is (for the most part) over. One thing we are seeing though is a hybrid of platform and stiletto: a hidden platform in the front part of the shoe, with a super-tall stiletto heel at the back (as per DSquared2, pictured right).
Seen on: the runways of Balenciaga, Chado Ralph Rucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and DSquared2 to name a few.
Verdict: Stilettos are streamlined, elegant, and sexy. The higher they are, the hotter they look, but of course they don't offer much support for one's feet. Not that ergonomics is really on anyone's mind when they're looking at designer shoes.
