June 6, 2009 Hate It or Love It – Dior Tribal Heels
The fashion blogs have been buzzing about Marion Cotillard’s Christian Dior Spring 2009 Tribal Heels that were worn at the ‘Bike In Style’ event in NYC on Tuesday. The silver strappy shoes are accessorized with an African fertility goddess figurine as the heel. What do you think of the Dior’s? Hate ‘em or love ‘em?
Get a closer look of the ‘fertility’ heel after the jump!

I though they were kind of cute, until I saw the close up of the naked woman. They’re kind of weird looking.

I love them. I’m not 100% sure about the fertility heel but I’d still rock them

well idk think stepping on the fertility goddess is goin help those who wanna be pregnant. it might be disrespectful in fact. that kinda freaks me out. it would be the same as wearing a miniskirt that says “i Heart jesus” on the booty. i just think that there’s a time and place for things lyk that.

I totally agree with Drea on this one. I kept thinking she’s standing on the fertility goddess there is something wrong about that. I think I might be offended. It’s disrespectful. What were they thinking. Besides that the design of the heel can not be good for the foot.

This another example of some “dippin-and-dappin ” in the intricate energies and spiritual essence(s) of someone else’s culture, doing for reason that are all including shallow and materialistic,and then we wonder why so many of us have MAJOR problems in life with love,bearing children,just being balanced in life. These energies or Gods and Goddesses existed long before christianity for a reason people,cause they were and are powerful!!!!and these energies are ancient and intelligent forces in the universe. I would not EVEN walk into a store that had these shoes on display,such bad mojo to walk on a representation of child-bearing,and life. But since this figure came from Mother Africa, and is “tribal” (what the hell does that mean any way,how insulting”),then its ok,….people we need to speak up for mother Africa,..she is our mother and ignorance like this will not be stood for. I love the idea,but change the figure,…..maybe bamboo,onyx with wonderful africa embosed patterns,……but why use Mother Goddess??

i think these heels are incredibly sacrilegious. inappropriate to walk or stand on anyone’s god or goddess.

I like them, but I don’t like the idea of a woman stepping on the back of a native, the symbolism is little much for me!

yay the insentive white fashion industry that never fails to baffle me ! !
I imagine the desinging process went like this :
Good idea let`s take something spiritual of those silly africans market the shit out of it and sell it for our own personal gain . Who cares if it`s disrepsectful, it`s just a goddess we all knwo christianity is right anyway serves them right . OH let`s put in a shoe,,,i love we can still show them who is boss you know white lady tramping down an african goddes / queen . I LOVE IT
WTF is wrong with this world….god damnit . SEriosuly you do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand and know that this FCKIN Disrespectful . Secondly, I`m sick of everything realted to africa being tribal, in such a vast beautiful and diverse continent that is not the only thing mother africa has to offer . URGHHHHHHHH ! end of rant . shit i`m only 16 and i`ve already had it with soceity’s dumbassnesss …dear god help me .
