Don’t Get Caught Swapping Heels for Flats at Fashion Week

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Ladies. There are several virtues of life as women we accept and extol. One of those is getting to be a giantess glamazon in 7 inch platform heels. Another is that it’s a widely known secret that we often change into less towering, more, dare I say, practical (yuck) flats for the walk to and from places like work, etc etc. But snap to! This is Fashion Week. I know you’re going to do it, but don’t you DARE let anyone catch you sneaking the change. I don’t care how twistedly painful your feet get, DO NOT change into flats while you are still in eyeshot of Lincoln Center. Be a lady. Do it in a Starbucks.

Though no details have been officially released on the design, we can surmise it will be roaring with wild fur and/or diamond/crystal encrusted, and lord knows what else the legendary Louboutin will do to them. AKA they will be the most ferociously fabulous skates to ever hit the ice.
