Howard Marks put it nicely when he said that, rather than worrying about share price volatility, 'The possibility of permanent loss is the risk I worry about... and every practical investor I know worries about.'

Whenever a woman steps into a pair of 4in heels, something magical happens. Her silhouette instantly changes: her head lifts, the small of her back curves, her shoulders broaden slightly and her calf muscles bunch. From that moment she, quite literally, walks taller.Any higher a heel, and you're pushing things. Lower, and those silhouette changes don't take place in quite the same way. As a shoe designer, I constantly strive to combine balance with beauty. A 4in heel truly is the sweet spot.

Under the guidance of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, Prada's latest menswear collection is quintessential Prada.The Milanese luxury label's inherent sense of muted sophisticated manifested uncomplicated silhouettes abetted by occasional flashes of brilliant color, making for especially approachable elegance. It's this kinda stuff that Goldblum himself has been drawn Skechers Outlets to over the years, hence why he was dripped out in an all-white outfit, fro...

Everyone loves a flamboyant display of extravagance, so when famed Italian shoemaker Amedeo Testoni unveiled a pair of US$38,000 (RM 167,257) alligator skin men’s shoes in 2010, it became headline news. But, as it turns out, making headlines was nothing new for this venerable, Bologna-based fashion brand. If you google “most expensive shoes” you’re likely to see a match for Italian designer Antonio Vietri’s ‘Moon Star Shoes’ which were unveiled in 2019 in Dubai as part of that city’s MIDE (Made in Italy, Designed in Emirates) Fashion Week. Worth a whopping US$19.9 million – the design includes a solid gold heel, 30 carats of diamonds, Kizik Sneakers and a piece of an Argentinian meteorite discovered in 1576 – this over-the-top example of fancy female footwear soon made it into the Guinn...
