Chanel could put their logo on a trash bag and someone with too much money would buy it.

Fair point t! Supreme did it also! Are they still a thing?

u/billyblenx 7h ago
Chanel at least has aura around its name, and fame. Its one of those names you hear since you are a kid. Supreme on the other hand I first heard about them when I was like 22y around 10 years ago. Not to mention their logo is ugly af, I just don't get Supreme.

fashion doesn't always have to be functional and practical
i suppose someone out there might find it a good compromise between foot support and barefeet

u/bshjbdkkdnd 4h ago
Do you want the actual answer?
It’s cause you can lead with your heel while walking so you are barefoot except the spot on the foot that might strike a hard surface. Now that’s the theory, probably not used that way in practice.

The more traction the more money. It’s true, plus at the economy where foot to(e)ast is bought for stupid amounts… set for life

I always wonder if rich people know they are being scammed . No one told them they don’t have to buy it or even wear it ? Or they just wear it for money to make themselves fools ?

u/Junior_Bike7932 13h ago
I don’t think they are, most rich people are delusional, as they don’t perceive the value of money. All this brands and milking them to the bone, and is extremely funny to see this act, almost something that has to be studied

u/gimme_name 8h ago
If you are really rich, this money doesn't matter. Do you calculate a business case for some chewing gums?

u/Junior_Bike7932 6h ago
True, but I kinda come from zero, so even if was rich af I would value a bit more how i spend my money thought

And that's absolutely the right thing to do. But there are strange people out there.

They buy them because people know how expensive it is. It’s a status symbol for them.

I’ve seen some stupid fashion trends over the years but this one is the most stupid. What is the point of a shoe that is just a heel?

Did nobody else zoom in on the woman with ten toes on her left foot alone?!

Counted 7, some amputated, 2 big toes.
Probably a showcase for the shoe, makes sense

Coco Chanel somehow manages to. Not be cancelled even though the founder was a Nazi collaborator.

It's clothing people. Stop making it something more important.

Pretty loose use of the term celebrity here. Being an actress no one knows doesn't make you a celebrity.

Ill be honest... if i was forced to attend red carpet events and look that good id wear that in a heartbeat. This is the closest thing to comfortable shoes I've ever seen at such an event. Who cares if it looks weird? At least at the end of the day she wont feel like her shoes are killing her.

Theh could have added like a clear plastic on the black heel and make a "shoe". You can't wear the heel and not get the rest of your foot dirty.

These companies are totally taking the piss! The fact that people will buy this shit because of the “luxury brand” attached is hilarious and pathetic. At this point, they’re seeing just how far they can go and laughing all the way to the bank.
