Higher than sky-high heels from Versace's Fall/Winter 2009/10 Collection
When I first saw these amazing shoes from Donatella Versace’s Fall/Winter 2009/10 collection, I immediately asked myself how high can I go? Well… Never made for the weak, these va-va-voom higher than sky high heels are certainly made strictly for the stylish bees! I love how they could work great with trousers, skirts, dresses and even evening gowns. My favourite pairs are the peep-toe shoes in lila as well as the pretty pumps in scarlet red. Being a part of the glam squad would no doubt be a piece of cake when you are in Versace!
In other news regarding the extravagant Italian fashion house, not only has three of its stores closed down in Japan due to the immense effect the economic crisis had over there, but also job cuts has being announced: 26 percent of its worldwide work force would be cut by the mid of next year [1]. That is 350 employees out of the original of about 1,360 would lose their jobs. Well… This is certainly not the very best of times for family businesses, but as Ms. Versace said: “I AM a survivor” [2], I am certain the house would live on in sky-high style.
