Noritaka Tatehana is renowned for his sculptural, intricate and downright fascinating heel-less shoes so much so that his complete collection is being exhibited at the COMME des GARÇONS Trading Museum in Paris. Certainly, every piece is a work of art rather than simply a pair of shoes. The care for details, choice of materials and design vision make every creation a fashion statement (and Gaga knows it).
For this holiday season, Noritaka Tatehana released a limited edition of five iceberg-esque platforms in white, silver and crystal. There will be one pair for each piece, from November 25 to Christmas Day.
As there are just five pairs, each model is available in just one size. Are you one of the five lucky Cinderellas out there?
