And of course it was, and how could I have forgotten that, considering when I first saw the shoes they made a somewhat indelible impression (somewhat because I obviously have the fashion memory of a gnat).
YSL chunky heeled pump:
and, in a T-strap:
And of course it was a Fall 06 trend, which is why it's slightly fresh in my mind, and why it's trickling down now in the form of knock-offs by Seychelles (see post below).
All of which points to this "trend" being effectively dead, since by the time it reaches the mall, it's over. I also know I've seen this shoe without the platform in front, by another designer, but my fashion gnat memory isn't working too well right now, so I'll have to update on that when it comes to me. In my oh-so-not-humble-opinion, if I had them I'd still rock these shoes this spring, despite (or because of) all of the flats surrounding me.
