The pair of shoes worn by Lady Gaga in the first picture were designed by a man called Noritaka Tatehana; he took his inspiration from traditional 'geta' geisha shoes to create his 10 inch (or higher!) wedges. Lady Gaga pretty much boosted his brand single handed, which now means that his shoes sell for around $15,000 a pair!!
Noritaka Tatehana: "My work became an icon. It worked not only as branding for me. It also became part of her branding".

As with all luxury, expensive designs, they eventually reach the high street at an affordable price for all us regular bods! Amy Childs was pictured yesterday wearing a spectacular cream pair of studded wedges in a similar style (not as extreme of course!), these were from her cousin Harry Derbridge's shop 'Harry's World' in Essex.
