Illuminated Designer Heels

The Chanel LED Shoes Light Up the Runway for a Dramatic Effect

The future of fashion is most definitely here by the looks of these Chanel LED Shoes. Models strutted down the catwalk for the Fall 2011-12 Chanel couture show wearing these illuminated heels, giving the runway a dramatic sci-fi effect that definitely gave show-goers a lasting impression (as well as some white spots, I'm sure).

Although this isn't the first time Karl Lagerfeld has introduced glowing elements to his shoe designs (recall his pre-fall 2008 Chanel Lightbulb shoe), these Chanel LED Shoes are infinitely more futuristic, as well as more sleek and sophisticated.

I'm sure fashionistas will be wanting to strut down the street in their own pair of Chanel LED Shoes.
