The Miu Miu spring 2009 shoe collection displayed an array of materials, from burlap to crocodile. Possibly as a nod to the people who are hurting in this economy, Miuccia Prada, the Miu Miu designer fused exotic (snake and croc) with common (burlap). Personally, I thought her combination of silk and burlap was even better and more creative. But with these unconventional pairings she managed to create a beautiful shoe. She also displayed some vivid prints on crocodile and snakeskin, and bouffant heels on her wedge shoes. This Miu Miu shoe collection also had some half wedges, where the wedge stops mid heel, and it looks as if the wearer's foot is suspended. All together I think the collection was diverse and original, as well as beautiful.
