//// Gunmetal and platforms
Posted on | December 6, 2009 | 2 Comments
Acne is seriously teasing me with this new Atacoma release. Gunmetal. Duh. I really don’t want that… …or do I?
In Berlin I run a baby blue pair and I swear if I had not purchased my Mentor for Rützou wedge pair earlier this fall my shopping budget would have probably been gone bye bye. But these shoes share such a similarity in overall shape that I could not justify.
Another slight hesitation I have with Atacomas is their instant recognizability — Steve Madden or that another shameless copycat brand has even produced almost one-to-one copy of them — and that is definitely a sign of a “it”-shoe of the season. I have to say that I have more and more issues with instantly recognizable “it”-items. Maybe it is better to keep my eyes open in my next London visit for something less well known. What do you think about instantly recognizable trend items?

we should know better than that! when something becomes so recognizable, there is a good chance that you become ” a girl with Acne shoes number…”, and that is not very creative.

well they are very gorgeous. sometimes i don’t want to get things because there are too many of them. but sometimes i give in. these are beautiful. it’s the same with the body chains. i’ve loved them since they came out (again?) 8 years ago. and the rhinestone versions too. i think i will finally give in and just get some. or make some!
