2009 The year of the Choo
As Michelle Obama attended the inauguration ceremony for her
husband Barack wearing green Jimmy Choo shoes with a yellow
embroidered Isobel Toledo dress – we could almost guarantee that
fashions focus for 2009 would be on the foot.
Michelle Obama and Jill Biden spent their 100th day in Washington
bagging food for hungry children at the Capital Area Food Bank. For the
occassion both women went super casual. The first lady wore cropped
grey capri pants and a yellow argyle cardigan with silver and metallic
pink sneakers. Dr. Biden did preppy chic in a blue and white striped shirt
paired with cropped white pants and silver flats. Michelle’s Lanvin
sneakers cost between $540 and $565 and it goes without saying that
she got quite a lot of flack for wearing such expensive shoes to a charity
event to raise money for the poor.
Victoria Beckham had a successful year with her clothing range but as
for her feet “They’re the bane of my life”. Victoria is apparently suffering
for the years of wearing high heels and has severe bunions. The Daily
Mail reported that she won’t be having surgery on her toes – for fear of
having to wear flatties for 6 months after the operation. Perhaps that
explains why she personally returned a pair of Christian Louboutins to
high end department store Barneys in New York Beverly Hills. Perhaps
they hurt her bunions.
The new ladies shoe department “Espace, chaussures et souliers”
opened in Galleries Lafayette in Paris in July. It was billed as the largest
in the world, with over 34,000 square feet with more than 150 brands of
shoes – taking over a whole floor in the famous Parisian department
store. Each brand has its own shop and brands include Walter Steiger,
Pierre Hardy, Prada, Miu Miu, Jimmy Choo, Biondini, Arche, Accessoire,
and Repetto. Over 75 brands are exclusive to Galleries Lafayette. The
floor also features a foot salon to take care of your feet with pedicures
and foot massages and an artisan cobbler that carries special brushes,
shoe creams in all colours and foot lotions.
Before going back into the Jungle Katie Price was spotted (quite
literally) wearing UGG boots with a pair of leopard print leggings.
Gladiator sandals, which took the world by storm in 2008, topped the
charts again this summer. Even those cage shoes and collar sandals that
started popping up last year finally arrived as a fully-fledged, mainstream
trend. Though it must be said not always flattering to the leg.

of shoes and accessories for H&M. The company issued wrist
bracelets to help reduce queues for the launch. The shoes started
around £75, considerably cheaper than your basic Choo. The range
of shoes and accessories sold out by 12 noon on the day of the
launch – who said there was a recession?
Paris Hilton launched her first range of shoes in the autumn. The
shoes are pretty much what you would expect, namely heels and
sling backs. The colour palette was been toned down for autumn (no
Barbie doll pink) and featured more muted hues. Paris may have
ruffled some fashion feathers with the blatant rip-off of Christian
Louboutin and Te Casan in her first collection, but her shoes do offer
more stylish options for fashionistas with less than dainty feet – Paris
takes a size 11 shoe (UK Size 9) and has been seen wearing and
modelling her own range.
Celebrity shoes, which were on display in London’s Burlington Arcade
from November 10th, were auctioned at the ‘In Their Shoes’ ball later
in the month. Shoes belonging to Cindy Crawford, Kevin Spacey,
Denise Van Outen and Christian Louboutin were donated in aid of
Macmillan Cancer Support. Andrew Strauss (Ashes hero cricketer)
gave his winning footwear, Rod Stewart a pair of signed golden
trainers, and Kylie Minogue a pair of sequined Moschino sandals.
As the year ended and the temperatures cooled our thoughts turned
to keeping warm. Michel Obama has now ordered a pair of thigh high
leather boots from Robert Clergerie in Romans France and had them
specially altered from the original model to meet her exact
requirements.
With bruised fee, Ali Bastian was voted off Strictly Come Dancing in
the Semi-final – was it just coincidence that she had swapped her
normal elegant high heels for lower, more comfortable and yet less
flattering dance shoes?
The wildest and wackiest shoe of 2009 - Alexander McQueens
Armadillo shoe – Lady Gaga was the first to sport this outrageous,
unpractical and exceptionally unflattering foot wear.

Letizia of Spain – here’s a lady that really knows what flatters the foot.
