In Greek mythology, Icarus who flew against his Father’s wish but ended in a fall to his death is like a modern woman trying to soar high just for the sake of fashion. This is very common to most celebrities who went around teetered out and became talk of the town for some of the most embarrassing accidents due to their towering platforms that “kills” them.

Way back in the innocent era, the average heel height had never exceeded to 3-inches but then, a woman’s shoe has escalated exponentially just to reveal their overall sexiness. Is it true? Well, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

Christian ‘Louboutin remarkably changed the face of fashion landscape in regards to shoes when he introduced the stilettos to fashionistas resembling a small hidden platform at the toe and in an intense manner, the height became higher and higher up to the maximum level. Later on, these towering heels are just a norm and embraced by some of high-end names like Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria, Gwen Stefani and the like.

The “Fall” Felt Around the World

In the early 90’s, Vivienne Westwood’s 9-inch heels including 5-inch platforms toppled even America’s supermodel, Naomi Campbell on the runway. Jessica Stam at Chloé, Fall 2006 and Prada 2008 Milan Fashion Week, Milana Bogolepova at Dior, Resort 2008, Kamila W. at Vivienne Westwood, Spring 2007, Iekeliene Stange at Marc Jacobs, Spring 2007 to name a few.

Definitely, most women want to tower, to embrace the true feminine divinity and be adored wearing stilettos. They want to remain higher and higher as close to the sun and can look down to see the Earth below.
