fashion shoes 2013





We saw more than a few pairs of obsession-worthy shoes on runways over the past few weeks. From space-age geisha platforms to controversial sandal boots, these sexy, wacky, and wonderful heels, flats, and boots are the leaders of the pack.





Fashion Edition 2013







Fashion Edition Buenos Aires fue concebido por Faena Hotel y Mercedes-Benz con el objetivo de crear una plataforma para proyectar el diseño nacional al mundo internacional de la moda. En esta edición invitan a diseñadores emergentes a presentar una mini colección a ser evaluada por un jurado de expertos, concursando por la participación en un Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week que se realiza en diversas ciudades del mundo.

The year is more than half over, which means we fashionistas at BreakTime are once again emerging from our ivory towers to pass judgment on those unencumbered by the gift of style.
