Very, very ugly shoes

Filed in archive Accessories , News on May 7, 2006

It seems like only days ago we were laughing at poor Nicky Hilton and her ugly plastic see-through shoes. When I first saw that photo, I thought: why would someone in their right mind design a shoe like that? Did Nicky find this in her mother's closet, filled with things from the hallucinogenic 70s?

But then I found out that people I believed had impeccable taste could do wrong too: style.com sports Candy's A list accessories report, where under New York you can find Donna Karan - Plastic Saskia slingback with jet-black Swarovski crystals.

Candy Pratts Price, is it only me or is Donna Karan loosing it?

It's not only the big designer names; you can find clear plastic shoes everywhere. Is this becoming a trend? If so, I don't want anything to do with it.
