Platforms Never Should Have Gone Away

The platform trend has spawned many skeptics and naysayers (ie Manolo). This is not unwarranted, as the very word "platform" conjures oh so scary images of lime green shag carpeting, massive bellbottoms and yikes! disco. However, the latest incarnation definitely does not resemble your parents' platforms. Scaled down and modernized, they really can be quite lovely. Not to mention the wonders they do for the appearance of one's legs, while allowing for much better balance than the strappy stiletto. This is one trend I am embracing with gusto.
