When I go out at night I am always tempted to wear high heels, even if most of the time I change my mind as soon as I cross the door. It happens everytime I decide to go to some vernissage or just going out for a drink, I choose the best pair for the outfit I’m wearing, I’m perfect in that shoes, but my final choice often focuses on the flattest one (it is so frustrating). The reason maybe lies in all the time I worn sneakers, they probably made ??my feet so lazy that they cannot rise anymore over two inches. For this reason you’ll soon understand why I’m fond of German fashion designers, both because one of my best friend (Martina Dabac) is a very talented fashion designer based in Berlin, but also I really love the minimalism with which some of these creatives just find fashionable and comfortable solutions. This introduction is in fact aimed to present you Miroike, a duo based in Berlin who learned fashion with the red wizard of London’s rebels “Vivienne Westwood”. Ramiro Calderon Alvarado and Ulrike Siedel have given an answer to those who like me, are always uncomfortable of going out with high heels (even if believe me, I’d really love to). They proposed this new line called “Zip Shoo”, where some revolutionary models can be unzipped and transformed into flat based shoes. Of course the line is not perfect for all the outfits and events, but it is a first step on solving some vertigo problems; in this way you don’t need to bring ballerinas with you anymore (as parachutes for unlikely heights), just bring a bag for your interchangeable heels. By the way, after writing this post, I forced myself to wear my favorite Nicole Brundage shoes to go tu Gareth Pugh opening at Corso Como 10, but no one could suspect I had a pair of flat boots hidden in my backpack, just in case). Following some pics of the amazing clothes and shoes collection, the only weak point of their last work are the bags that are completely iconsistent in my opinion if compered to the style of the other items.
