Being one of the more “well-seasoned” members of the blog, I’ve seen many a fashion trend come and go, and come again. I did platform shoes in the 70’s and that was plenty for me. On seeing their return the past few years I can still hear the faint echoes of Stayin’ Alive in the distance and decided platforms needed to stay buried, at least for myself. I’ve always wondered if there has been a substantial increase in the profits of orthopedic surgeons from broken ankles since the return of platforms, but I digress……

On glancing over some of the new spring shoe collections for 2008, it would appear that once again the platform has returned to disco heaven to be replaced by kitten heels, lower chunky heels and in your face sexy stilettos. I especially love what I’ve seen so far of the Jimmy Choo Spring 2008 collection. Dolce & Gabbana, my personal choice for sexing up any outfit, has again caught my eye. As always, Prada has a huge variety of killer shoes from cute flats, to drop dead sexy heels, as well as demure office pumps.

Thankfully, with the exception of a few designers that shall remain nameless, the strains of Stayin’ Alive, flashbacks of elevator shoes and their modern counterpart appear to be doing the Hustle back into disco heaven.

Quickly before they go, strike your best John Travolta pose!
