Isabel Marant on Wedge Shoes and Simple Summer Looks

If you are the parent of a teenage daughter who has been haranguing you to buy them the latest pair of high-top wedge sneakers, then you may be wondering who you have to thank for this new craze. The answer is French clothing designer Isabel Marant Boots. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, shortly after her Spring/Summer runway at Paris Fashion Week, Ms. Marant admitted that there was little she could say to comfort parents faced with the wedge-heel dilemma. Oh my God! I can’t say anything, you know, because I was a teenager that’s when this idea came, said Isabel Marant Dicker Suede Ankle Grey Boots, laughing out loud. She went on to explain how, when she was young, she would cut up pieces of cork to put in her sneakers to look taller. zzff20121011
