Elevator Shoes and High-End Fashion

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

Jump on random forums discussing fashion, and any time elevator shoes (aka  height increasing shoes) come up, there will always be someone commenting on how unattractive and “boxy” they look; disparaging them  as being “ugly” or being “impossible to pull off.”

On the other hand, when considering if something is true—it can be important to consider the source.  And while everyone is entitled to an opinion, it begs the question; what do some of the biggest names in fashion have to say on the subject?

The answer might surprise you.

Giorgio Armani, with 45 years of fashion experience in creating and expanding the Armani fashion empire, and obviously one of the biggest fashion icons in the world.  Marc Jacobs, likewise, has been renowned in the industry for decades.  Calvin Klein, another designer who has become a  household name.

What do they all have in common?

Each of them have enthusiastically embraced elevator shoes.

From integrating height increasing shoes into their fashion lines, to actively promoting them in discussions and interviews, it might surprise some to see just how common the embrace of elevator shoes have been among the top tiers of fashion titans.

The reality is, unlike the critic who imagines it to be “impossible” to pull off wearing a height increasing shoe, and then lets his opinions be dictated by their imagined preconceptions, top designers live or die on their ability to constantly challenge fashion rules at every turn.  Where an “online expert” might see an unattractive elevator shoe, and decide that “elevator shoes are ugly”, a real creative can see the same pair and imagine a dozen ways to make a pair look extraordinary.
