So what was in this spring / summer in the way of shoes… first thing that comes to mind is funky 1970’s platforms, strappy booties and some sky hight heels. It also seems like everyone was really into straps, lots of them. Check these out…

This is a Prada creation, it looks like it needs some metallic flowered wallpaper to go with this very 1970’s looking shoe. Not sure why, but the colors scream Brady bunch to me. Not sure if I would wear it, but very cool looking never the less.

Black leather and gladiator straps are in on the Givenchy catwalk.. it’s got that s & M dominatrix feel. Where’s the whip?

Christian Lacroix’s sandal above is a decade later than the majority with this punkish looking metallic sandal, but, it does have that 1970’s wood heel thing going

Dior, always very stylish

Yves Saint Lauren rainbow powered giant platform

Stella McCartney Hippie beaded platform shoe, with straps. Seems like every designer had to have straps this summer.

Proenza 70’s looking wooden heeled strappy sandal in that 70’s bright orange Brady Bunch hue.

And finally, nothing screams 1970’s more than terry cloth and here we have the powder blue Givenchy terry cloth platform slip on… I really like this shoe!
