Wedge, defined as any shape that is
triangular in section, seemingly has bloomed itself into a new trend in the
world of high heel fashion. Not necessarily high heeled, as the heels can vary
from low till as much as one wants. When Charlize Theron unleashed her weapons
in ‘Æon Flux’ from her wedge boots, one could imagine how useful a pocket in it
would be? Either way it showed how slender and supportive it could be for a
woman of adventure though stilettos deceptively are represented so too.
Obviously a wedge would be the more ideal option if one were to run a
high-heeled marathon.
This Spring/Summer 2011 Christian
Louboutin, a shoe lover’s top pick, designed the wedges in such fascinating
platforms for Mary Katrantzou one would have wanted to snatch them off
backstage.
In the famed success of the Minimal Baroque
collection, Prada used sneaker style wedges, raced on the soles à Comfort.
The wedge was invented in the 1930s by
Salvatore Ferragamo to ease the pain of carrying off High heels, but the rise
in fame of the stilettos pushed aside the wedges till finally the time has come
in the new millennium. So much so Disney has helped put its fame on kids by Belle
wedges, for a little Beauty from the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ wanna-be, already
sold-out. Simply gorgeous!
Other pros of wearing a wedge - they make
ankles thinner, they are intensely cosmopolitan, and they can add height with
much lesser pain and more speed.
From Donna Karan’s Textured and Espadrille
styles to Nine West’s Gladiator style, wedges are available in every
style and colour.
The trend is rising and seemingly would
stay for quite some time to come, as comfort with elegance is the ultimate
luxury a woman seeks.
