It’s no mystery that I love platform shoes. I’m convinced I was a Geisha, or a Courtesan, or both in my other lives. Platform shoes are super comfortable; I can run around the city streets in them, I can stand in them all day long, and they transform me from 5’2″ to upwards 5’7″ instantly. Now do you see why I’m in love with platforms? That being said…of course being a Fashionista, I love a…

I often mix it all up, as I believe they collide to make a great statement. Here is what I came…

Even though this was her signature, this collection is still filled with visual symbols, less literal than photos. This collection goes from Maxi to Mini skirts, yet the tone of the garment is still the same.  This is what Morgane Le Fay and Guinevere would wear in a modern day version of the Arthurian tale, directed by Baz…
