Hippie-Chic Platform Sandals

Kori Ellis — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:29:13 +0000

This spring, get into the hippie-chic trend with flared jeans, peasant tops, flowing skirts and fringed bags. Another essential for this look is a great pair of platform sandals.

Yves Saint Laurent Obi Platform Sandal

Yves Saint Laurent offers a variety of fabulous shoes for spring and one of my favorites is their patent leather Obi platform sandal. These sandals feature an open toe with a pleated bow across the vamp. With a 4-inch heel and a buckled ankle strap, these will definitely dress up anything you are wearing.

You can get these sandals right now at Bergdorf Goodman. Priced at $895, they are definitely a splurge but certainly cool. If you are looking for a platform sandal with a bit more color, try the YSL Tribute in cobalt blue.

Last week we showed you these cage sandals on the red carpet and now here’s another pair of shoes of similar style. The Yves Saint Laurent cage bootie features the same type of heel and a metallic cage motif.

These booties are made from anthracite metallic leather and have a peep toe. Though these shoes are definitely dramatic, they don’t look comfortable at all. Would you wear these cage booties? If so, you can get them now at Neiman Marcus for $1,290.

Believe it or not, the bootie trend isn’t ending with the cold weather. This spring, look for a number of booties with peeptoes and cut-out sides in metallics and bright colors for a springtime appeal.

The fashion world lost an icon on Sunday when Yves Saint Laurent passed away at the age of 71.

Yves Saint Laurent became a top name in the fashion industry beginning in 1957 when he took over as head of the House of Dior at the young age of 21. After returning from military service and establishing his own Paris-based fashion house in 1961, YSL grew to icon status as he re-defined women’s haute couture.

From the beginning, he created fresh, new designs that grew in popularity and remain as fashion staples today, including the trapeze dress and the smoking jacket. Yves Saint Laurent retired in 2002.

As a tribute to YSL today, here are a few Yves Saint Laurent shoes.
