When the models of Rodarte's spring/summer 2013 runway show in New York, took to the catwalk, their steps were outfitted in sky-high, intensely structured, graphic and out-of-the-box wedges. Interesting to look at, but incorporating these showstoppers from the runway to the real way might be tricky for someone other than Nicki Minaj. But that doesn’t mean you can’t rock a wedge like a star. Try getting in on the trend with more wearable options like these, which you can find in the Miami Design District:
The Daytime Go-To
The sandal may be the official shoe of summer, but the espadrille is its sexier sister. Louis Vuitton executes the trend with the Formentera in monogrammed denim for a daytime alternative that gives legs that extra lift and embodies the spirit of the season in its casual chic fabric choice.
The Funky Bunch
If you’re willing to take a walk on the wild side to get from point A to Point B, meet Christian Louboutin's Scuba. It's plays off the less traditional wedge option, integrates the season's see-through trend and blends a mod, color-blocked palette.
The Getaway Wedge
When it comes to your summer vacation, a shoe that can transition from sand to supper to sunrise fetes is a must. Consider the Hermès Epice. Available in two heights (tall and taller), the metallic finish makes to night worthy, while the wedge heel keeps it wearable for day. Mix it with a pareo to give your bikini a little edge.
Now place one well-shoed foot in front of the other and get moving.
