John Galliano is known for his romantic and whimsical designs, and the spring/summer 2010 shoe collection is no different. However, these shoes lean heavily into whimsical territory, bordering on costume-y. The sky high platform is "in" now, but when they get too high the shoe becomes unrealistic for regular wear and a bit silly looking.

Galliano was inspired by "old Hollywood glamour" for this collection and is reflected in the pink polka dot lace, silk bows, and feather details that adorned the shoes. The heels are a string of pearls and many of the shoes had dangling pearl charms or draping strands of pearls.

I like this collection from an artistic perspective, but I couldn't think of any occasion where I would possibly wear any of them. However John Galliano doesn't design for people like me, he has a very select target market (think Betsey Johnson), and they will love it.
