Melting Heels

The Nicholas Kirkwood SS10 Shoe for Rodarte

Known for his imaginative and unique shoes, Nicholas Kirkwood's SS10 collection was recently designed for fashion house Rodarte. Absolutely stunning, I feel that I could probably pull off the all white version--if I was brave enough.

Complementing Rodarte's patchwork elements in its clothing designs, the Nicholas Kirkwood SS10 melting heels are just as elegantly haphazard. I suggest that you take a good look at them via the gallery above.
