That may have been so, but going anywhere with her required ridiculous stores of patience as she walked at approximately 1/4 of my pace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445871 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 07:37:27 +0000 rachylou 1445871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no. The first one. Hys. Ter. I. Cal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445860 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 05:42:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1445860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really liked that second one! I am hoping the first one was staged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445856 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 05:35:43 +0000 K.M. 1445856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. </p> <p>I'm a functionalist at heart. Yes, form is important and even essential, but I can't stand items (clothes, objects, etc.) if they contradict their function. (Unless we're talking about art--which I suppose fashion can be--but that first video is more "America's Funniest Home Movies" than it is art or even slapstick). It's not that function trumps all, but that form and function shouldn't exclude each other.</p> <p>I also loved the street-style scene in the second video! </p> <p>Thanks for putting a smile on me on an otherwise tough, exhausting, dreary night. </p> <p>PS. Platforms in general, even not in icy conditions, I don't understand. Except on a Carnival parade. I don't really find the look appealing, but I suppose it's a matter of taste. More to the point, a friend of mine slipped when wearing platforms (not nearly as high as these ones); she was just walking down the hall in her house. She had such a complicated, awful fracture of her leg and ankle bones, she needed surgery, screws (is that what they're called?), months and months of physical rehab and a very painful recovery. Her orthopedic surgeon told her that these fractures are common with platform shoes--it's the platform (had she slipped on regular stilettos it wouldn't have been so bad). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445810 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 03:07:47 +0000 Sveta 1445810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fashion victim indeed! I sometimes narrowly avoid falls on the frozen sidewalks&nbsp;in my flat and sensible winter boots - I just cannot imagine how they do it in those shoes!<br />The second video is funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445738 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 01:07:41 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1445738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHAHAHAHA!! &nbsp; I especially loved the second video.</p> <p>That girl in the first video&nbsp;looks like she <i>thought</i> she could get down the hill easily, until she reached that point of no return about 1/3 of the way down. &nbsp; I did that with my car on a frozen hill once. &nbsp;Except that I was going uphill, and it wound up being downhill anyway.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445730 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 00:32:51 +0000 AM 1445730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. These are great. Thanks for sharing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445654 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 21:03:12 +0000 Sal 1445654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so pleased that we have such a variety of great shoes now with a variety of heel heights and types. &nbsp;</p> <p>Going back about four years it was impossible to find funky footwear that was not platform or stiletto heels, or ballet flats. &nbsp;I am not a ballet flat person, and I am not much of a platform or stiletto person (I do own a couple of pairs)&nbsp;either so it was good for my budget.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445646 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 20:32:55 +0000 Janet 1445646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL at the second video.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, the first video. I cringed, but yes, definite victim. </p> <p>Kiwigal, ouch, ouch, ouch. It's just not worth it! I don't have a lot of sympathy for the falling girls in platform shoes at NYFW. Come on, it's winter, it's NYC, you have to know there's going to be ICE. It doesn't make you look fashionable, it makes you look not very bright.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445639 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 19:50:17 +0000 Sal 1445639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After last year coming across someone in my neighbour's driveway who had fallen because of tripping in their platform sandal.......with a broken ankle, bone through the skin... I have to say yes, victim. </p> <p>And embarrassing to fill out an insurance claim!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445625 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 19:23:40 +0000 Anonymous 1445625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first link is hilarious! Yes very possibly a victim :)</p> <p>Agreed, the street scenes are funny in the second link, I also love seeing her trash her room trying to find juuuust the right outfit</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-fashion#post-1445610 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 18:45:42 +0000 annagybe 1445610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Victim?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.refinery29.com/2015/02/82562/icy-slippery-sidewalks-winter-shoes-video">http://www.refinery29.com/2015.....hoes-video</a>? </p> <p></p> <p>ETA this is hilarious</p> <p>especially the street style photo part</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.refinery29.com/2015/02/82541/fashion-week-reality-video">http://www.refinery29.com/2015.....lity-video</a>?</p> <p></p> <p></p>
