These Bone High Heels Have Robbed Skeletons of Their Bits

— April 24, 2013 — Fashion
Let's hope the bones in these Bone High Heels are not brittle. The main reason being that they have to support the weight of an entire human body. However, it seems as though any fears one has about these shoes will soon be put to rest.

These shoes are a little off-putting though, maybe because the heel is in the shape of a vertebrae or it might be due to the fact that someone would design shoes that mimic human parts. Whatever the reason is, there will still be a majority of the population who, being fascinated by this product, will also fund their existence. Halloween and ritual sacrifices seem to be the only place these bone high heels would fit seamlessly into. Until that time comes, these heels would be better kept buried in closets and out of sight.
Trend Themes
1. Skeleton-inspired Fashion - Designing shoes and clothing inspired by human skeletons is a trend that could disrupt the fashion industry with unique designs that appeal to a niche market.
2. Novelty Footwear - Creating shoes that stand out and draw attention to themselves through unusual design, such as these bone high heels, is a trend that could revolutionize the footwear industry with must-have conversation pieces.
3. Skeletal Accessories - Expanding the design inspiration beyond just shoes to include handbags, belts, and jewelry that mimic human bones is a trend that could transform the accessories market with bold statement pieces.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can embrace the skeleton-inspired fashion trend to offer a unique product line that appeals to those who desire conversation-starting fashion pieces.
2. Footwear - The footwear industry can capitalize on the novelty shoe trend to create shoes that grab attention, spark conversation, and turn heads with their innovative design.
3. Accessories - The accessories market can adopt the skeletal design theme to create statement pieces that offer a bold, edgy look and add a unique touch to any outfit.
