Shoe-In, Shoe-Out
This is the first we’ve spotted one of those Sabyasachi shoes off the runway and, as much as I applaud Rashmi for sporting the unusual, they just did not work. Those platform-clogs (I just made up that word for lack of a better one) need to have a moment and this wasn’t it.
On an aside, who do you think can work the hell out of these shoes? Or are they unsalvageable and, should be left for the runway alone?

I saw her wear these same shoes with a white sari at another recent event…I tried not to, but I had to cringe.
I think Sonam would be able to pull these off.
Needs someone young and wear something unexpected. Tiny shorts with the shoes for example.
endless legs and a black mini-skirt are essential!
someone should send a pair to Ekta kapoor, these shoes are strange enough, may be she would be willing to trash her black clogs for these.
Only Kiran Rao. Or someone as out there as her!
Can you even walk in those shoes ? They look very chunky and uncomfortable…..maybe a Sonam or Masaba can carry it off
OMG??? From which god forsaken era are these shoes from??? they are completely horrible looking!! nothing pleasing at all!
I dunno…a daring Dutch milkmaid maybe? I just hate platform shoes.
No no…
THESE WON’T WORK WITH ANYTHING!!!
It reminds of certain Japanese era I saw in the movie “Memoirs of a geisha” Geisha girls used to wear them.
Yeah..Gieshas still wear shoes like this and it looks exquisite on them.
O man! I was *just* going to say that!
ewww if Sabyasachi can’t design something better, then he should stick to designing clothes and quit shoe designing.
I LOVE her clutch….(ignoring everything else)….Is is a Malini Agarwal?
I can… I can totally hit this one out of the ballpark, & I’m not even quirky :-)
The trick is to wear these shoes with something simple (but not too plain), & direct all attention to footwear.
Pale gold or similar hued outfit.. my two bits.
i cant for the life of me think of anyone being able to pull these off. they’d actually be quite nice looking as a pair of flats in my opinion =)
yuck!!
These shoes make your feet look bigger than they are… so its definitely no no for a short person.
I think Lara Dutta can pull it off with a cute short dress.
Sonam Kapoor?
Freida Pinto? I’ve rarely liked her in Indian clothes, but maybe her. Or Nina. Someone tall and with fashion street cred…
Yeah..and I think it can jus look good with a Kimono.
ugly!
Young-schmung, Jane Birkin or Carine Roitfeld, probably Frieda Pinto, or any other woman with style (key words being “With Style”) could rock the hell out of those shoes!
Now the main problem here seems to be that we’ve got a short woman who is wearing three distinct blocks of color which cut her into—lemme hear it people—THIRDS!
A tall woman like a model MIGHT get away with that but if you look you’ll see that the runway avatar is wearing leggings that echo/match the colors of the ties of the shoes thus lengthening the leg.
Poor Rashmi’s coat is in heavy black & red combo over WTF—CREAM(?) leggings, and then back to the heavy mode with the shoes.
Why do I bet this woman is about 5’3″ if that? There is just no way on earth a petite woman can hack herself into thirds and carry off heavy shoes without looking like a midget standing in a flower pot. Trust me on that. I’m 5’2″ and shrinking.
I like this post. It’s educational and informative. You are so right about us shorties needing to have streamlined outfits. Nice job!
i think anusha dandekar should be able to pull those off with ease
Sonia Mehra for the win!
Masaba, Deepika Padukone, Sonam, Shilpa! These ladies would work them well ensuring they are carefully paired with understated short dresses…
