It's not strictly an oxymoron but it does look sound very odd when I say 'ruffled metallics' in my head.  Metal = hard, ruffle =  soft, ergo the two sound odd together.  In reality though, I'm calling for more ruffled metallics outside of the 80s' prom dress variety (though 162 Holloway Road is throwing up some very good options in that prom dress ilk...).  My eyebrow did raise a little when I saw the shoes in the 3.1 Phillip Lim S/S 09 show but then the eyes glanced over Christian Louboutin and that explains why they are so... so... MUCH.  They take the Prada AW08-9 ruffle shoes just a leeetle bit beyond to just the right amount of ruffles for me.  They then made me think of this Ellery SS09 dress which has been ingrained in my head when a friend emailed me about the label Ellery.  Kym Ellery who only launched her label a few seasons ago was (is?) a stylist for Russh magazine and I don't knwo much more other than she has made the perfect metallic dress that is pinched and adorned in all the right ways...  sorry that was selfish of me for not labouring over a languid designer profile... it's all down to the effect of the dress and the thought of the dress with those shoes... it sounds oxymoronic but I will keep saying it...ruffled metallic...ruffled metallic...
