"Statement Pieces" has been keeping tabs on a particular look for some time, stalking it from run-way to mainstream - ready to pounce the second it met our despotic yearning. The look is "art-house" heels, and we think we've found "the ones".
Australian shoe store ZU may have only opened in 2003, but they have already made their mark on this great Southern land (and into the hearts of fashionista's everywhere). Offering up-to-the-minute styles fresh off the catwalks and sidewalks of Milan, London, New York, Madrid and Japan at a fraction of the price. ZU could single-handedly clothe the entire creative industry's toes and everyone would still come out looking like urbanite individuals. But before we gush any more we better get to the nitty gritty and reveal our favourite "art-house" heel.
The ZU Donut shoe brings stacked platforms to a new level, managing to command the statement piece look without coming across too chunky - the secret is all in the hole. And what cinches the deal? The fact that the shoes are remarkably comfortable! This comes down to the fact that the thick, contoured platform and bulky heel offer a surprising level of stability. This means that you can walk tall, comfortably and confidently... All to often we see well-meaning fashionista's tottering around in needle thin stiletto's - the shoe might be the most amazing piece in the world, but if you can't walk assertively they go from fab to laughable.

We want to convince you to buy a pair in every single colour, however, the avant-garde properties of the shoe would be lost. Instead we encourage you to think about it before you make the purchase. Personally, "Statement Pieces" is in love with the jelly bean green patent pair (which we would team with long, black, high waisted pants, a black camisole and basic jacket/cardigan with a splash of green Dinosaur Design wishbone bangles). But for those too timid to experiment with bold colours, the patent black may be the way to go. Whatever your colour preferences we implore you to go out and grab a pair, and if you're new to ZU you may have just found yourself a new favourite store.
