Louis vuitton  is a strange thing sometimes. We’ve all seen at least once some sort of funky strange Louis vuitton  outfit. As a designer you have the tendency to over-judge these kind of designs : is the designer cool because he doesn’t follow the trends or is he just bad? The same thing seems to apply to shoes. Designers are coming up more and more with futuristic, innovative designs.

We thought a bit of brake from our usual articles will be welcomed so here are some interesting shoe designs. Cool or not, innovative or just crap we’ll let you be the judge.

There are lots of reasons to be impressed by the designers at Proenza Schouler, profiled in today’s Wall Street Journal.I’m most impressed by their business savvy–specifically how they have been able to grow their business from a self-funded startup yet retain control, a difficult task in the Louis vuitton  industry.

The group, consisting of designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez and CEO Shirley Cook (ages 29, 29, and 27, respectively), has cut a series of deals that stand out for their vision and good sense. I’d also say that the group has been willing to grow more slowly than others in order to maintain control. (In other words, they haven’t gotten greedy.)

These would seem like smart moves for executives twice the age of the Proenza Schouler team. That they could make such wise decisions so early in their careers is truly remarkable.
