These insanely decadent heels are by Paris-based brand LaRare. If you are a high-heels lover and haven’t yet encountered this fetishistic shoe line, its safe to say you are missing out. Created by the very talented Nathalie Elharrar already had extensive body of work behind her including designs for Balmain, Thierry Mugler and Lagerfeld.

The designer said she was obsessed with creating the concept for the collection since working with the Mugler and the end result turned out to be sinfully sexy yet still remaining chic. The best way to describe it is to think excessive glamor with a touch of humor and artistic sadomasochism.

Inspiration for this season Nathalie Elharrar took from comic book icon Barbarella, 1930s Berlin burlesque shows and photographers such as Helmut Newton and Ellen von Unwerth. Luxurious, artsy and provocative, it’s an aspirational collection for the woman who dares to wear it.

Any creation by LaRare is easily recognized by trademark hardware attached at various points (most commonly the outsole arch or back of the heel) of the right shoe. You can interpret it however you want but its very reminiscent of the symbolic Story of ‘O’ finger rings seen in certain quarters of the fetish community.

Designer Highlight: Guri Venstad  First time I saw those shoes, I couldn’t help to search high and low who is responsible for such original and clever design. The person behind it turned out to be Oslo designer Guri Marie Venstad who is a 24 years old recent The Oslo School of Architecture and Design graduate with degree in Industrial Design.  This shoe collection inspired by Mad Men and Dick Tracy was made in collaboration with another designer Vibeke Skar for the Norwegian fashion designer Fam Irvoll 2011/2012 winter collection “Sooner Rather than Later”. It was first presented at Oslo Fashion Week 2011 and since then have received wide array of publicity and were presented in several fashion shows and exhibitions. Check out photos from Oslo Fashion Week Upon closer inspection of her website its obvious that Guri’s talent goes beyond just a shoe design, there you can find anything from coffee machine prototypes to bicycle designs. Guri Marie is planning to pursue her graduate studies in New York in coming fall and I hope she will take U.S. by storm. I have a feeling we’ll be hearing her name very soon.

Designer Highlight: Rosy Sukkar Rosy Sukkar who describes herself as “ambitious, creative and hardworking footwear design graduate” graduated from  London College of Fashion in 2010 and presented knitted sky high wedges as a part of her final year project.  My final-year footwear collection is the result of a collaborative project between a knitwear designer, Ellen Chatelain - ‘Le Chat Studio London’ and myself. The collection aims to provide a completely unique yet desirable design aesthetic, inspired by London and the city’s diverse visual juxtaposition of architecture, culture, tradition and quirks. Even though these are just the prototypes that unfortunately for many of us won’t be going in production, they have been making rounds online causing awe and admiration.Best of luck to Rosy and I hope to see more of her designs and eventually own a pair or two. She’s definitely a name to watch out for!

Hey everyone, as you have noticed I love occasionally to post really weird, outrageous and out of this world shoe designs. I would like to do more designer highlights in the future as I believe all things become a lot better if there is a story and a face behind it.

Which designer would you like to hear about next?

Designer highlight: Victoria Spruce  If you haven’t been living under the rock you probably seen various futuristic creations of Victoria Spruce who is an upcoming footwear designer inspired by modern architecture and sculpture. Each of her designs is so elaborate and structured that it can work as a pieces of sculpture in their own right yet sexy and by the looks of it very wearable. It’s definitely a name to watch out for in the future. I can’t wait to see how she develops her designs in years to come.
