Contorversial: Fall's Must-Have Shoes 2007-08-15 23:02:00 V Magazine used a controversial fashion editorial to showcase this season’s must-have shoes. Combining images of the female form and stylist Brian Mollov’s foot-wear picks for the fall is facing a lot of scrutiny by more conservative types. The photography by Bela Borsodi is being met with varied opinions. Some of the bloggers may find it ridiculous: naughty imagery was being used to sell footwear, others may think it was an innovative approach. It all depends who you ask—either way, the ad was effective. It got attention, it’s been talked about, and the images will remain in our minds. It’s body art. It’s creative. And yes, it’s edgy.The following pictures were edited to hide some "private" parts. Look closely and share your opinion!From left:DieselPradaD&GFrom left:Balenciaga by Nicolas GhesquièreTod'sDior by John GallianoFrom left to right:Calvin KleinGiuseppe ZanottiBallyPhoto Source
