Alrighty...so when the lovely peeps at Mykromag posted what they thought were the final prototypes of the Louise Goldin for Topshop studded shoes (with the help of stylist Panos Yiapanis...), there was a flurry of blog-lovin' activity. OMFG! LOVE! AMAZING! etc etc
The finalised designs in cream, black and rose with no studs running down the heel have now been revealed and will be going into stores and onlne at £150 a pop on 5th February. Weirdly enough, I'm kind of liking that the studs have been reduced. It's not so much that perennial huffy puffy "I'm-so-sick-studs" that inevitably a few people will proclaim. I just like that the studs aren't so erm...STUDS-in-YA-FACE... that they're a ladylike shoe with only a 'smattering' of studs. Or maybe this is Topshop easing out of studs and half-heartedly bidding studs a little fond farewell wave "Until we meet again you sharp metal node!" Ooops.... Ashish x Topshop... maybe not...
