It’s not often you see designers saying that they suck, much less on their own runway, but that’s just what design label Starstyling did. Teaming up with Dr. Scholls (oddly enough), Starstyling made a line of shoes that read, "Starstyling Sucks" on the platform.
The shoes by Dr. Scholls and Starstyling weren’t made for wear off the runway, but were a wild design between the message about the label on the shoe, to the thread and bobbin heel.
The Starstyling soles are definitely not what you'd expect from Dr. Scholls. Cheers to the runway models for not toppling over!
