There are tiny nude ladies on the heels of Christian Dior. The models for the designer's Spring 2009 collection came down the runway with the help of goddesses as 5" sandal heels.
The ladies strutted out in beige, black, silver, and golden tones. The sandals themselves were sexy numbers with interlocking loop straps in silver and gold. The shoes' platforms came in animal prints, pink suede and a white lattice pattern.
Whether the goddess is for good luck, fertility or merely for stability, she is a delightful little full-figured doll.
