Our Favorite Platforms Summer 2014

July 6, 2014. 1 Comment

The platform has been a popular heel silhouette for almost as long as shoes have existed. Besides adding height, it’s dramatic but still relatively comfortable plus it has a youthful feel. The platforms we are loving right now are in some cases ’70s disco influenced, but there are also some ’90s rave-inspired flatforms we like, too. What makes these shoes current is an updated materials story vis-a-vis metallics, along with a brighter and whiter color palette, both of which combine as trademarks of the modern-day platform.

Retailers that are leading this trend are above all SoleStruck, followed by Asos, Zara and Free People and the two brands at the head of the pack are Y.R.U. and Jeffrey Campbell. See all of our favorite plus the stores they can be purchased at below.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
