brothel creepers.

Brothel creepers are a kind of shoes that found their beginnings in the years following World War II, as soldiers based in the deserts in North Africa wore suede boots with hardwearing crepe soles because of the climate and environment. Having left the army, many of these ex-soldiers found their way to the nightspots of London wearing the same crepe-soled shoes and these became known as Brothel Creepers.

The brothel creeper regained popularity in the early 1970s when they begun tho be sold them by Malcolm McLaren from his Let it Rock shop in London's King Road.

After that, creepers have been mostly sold in Camden Town (London) because of the punk and goth hint they begun to have.

 

Last winter creepers have come back to catwolks.

And even though it's a very hard shoe to wear because of its punk backgroung, is becoming to hit the collections of the most trendy fashion designers.

And they are slowly becoming the new black.   

Prada (FW2011-12)

Prada heels.

Everyone knows that women go crazy for high heels, whatever the shape and the high is; from boots to sandals, from men-styled and classic shoes to the most fashionable ones, there's a big range of choice that varies according to everyone's needs and taste.

For the Fall-Winter there's one specific designer who has launched a new shape of heel that will definitely become a new must have; and who else could it be but Miuccia Prada?This designer together with the brand has been during the history of fashion probably one of the most prominent and effortless, being able to catch the worldwide attention of media for its avant-garde style.  

The heels on issues surely open a window to a new world. 

Tired of stiletto heels and sharp lines, women today look for more gentle and sinuous shapes, not only for the shoe itself, but also for the look of the heel that has, together with the color and the tip of the shoe, a relevant importance. 

Prada has managed to give her personal view. And it works.
