The Wall Street Journal, of all places, had a piece today about the new fashion in extreme heels:
"These are the highest heels that I've ever seen sold on a commercial level," notes Roseanne Morrison, fashion director for Doneger Group, a retail consultant for more than 200 stores. And they're selling. At Bergdorf Goodman, senior vice president Edwin Burstell says they represent "a large piece of the business this fall."
Mr. Blahnik, who for more than 20 years topped out at 5-inch heels, pushed the envelope this year, adding a 6-inch style to his line. "These are still sexy, pretty shoes," he says. The designer -- who doesn't do platforms -- says that 6-inch heels already account for about 30% of his company's business.
