Noritaka Tatehana..

Who is Noritaka Tatehana?

Well, he is a 25-yr old young and upcoming designer who hails from Japan. He is based in Omotesando, Tokyo.

He graduated from Tokyo National University of fine arts in March this year and majored in textile arts.

Now, we all know Lady Gaga and her gaga heel-less gravity defying
shoes, ever wondered who makes them?? Two words, Noritaka Tatehana.

On average, the shoes are about 23 cm tall, (thats about 9.1 inches,
wow, I always thought 6 inches was quite tall, hmm..) and the get even
taller.

a pair would set you back about $2,500 to $4,000 (roughly 300,000
Ksh. Its either the vitz or the shoes.. ha ha) Given the intricate
design involved in creating these magnificent art works, id say they
are well worth the money. Now as for the vitz..

I guess thats enough literature review, now let his work speak for him







And now the most Qualified model for Noritaka's shoes,
ladies and gentlemen, Gaga..





Im waiting for the day she falls off a pair of these shoes. They look so unstable.. ( No sadistic wishes..)

I digress now to bring you this photo of Gaga wearing alexander mcqueen shoes. (pic from the video bad romance by Lady Gaga) .





would you consider wearing such shoes?? I know it would be out of the question for most of us in Kenya. Can you imagine walking on our dirt ridden walkways all the while dodging cobble stones and mud puddles.. That would be quite the sight.

Im sure even the boda boda guys would offer to gve you a lift for free. It would go something like " we, madam kuja tu nikubebe bure. Naona siku yako imeharibika mapema, viatu yote imevnjika..". " Na nikuulize, unabalance namna gani??" (Question: Is it still called a lift if its on the back of a bike??? )
