No, I haven't seen them worn. Since when do you have to see a shoe worn to determine if it's nice or not?
Listen, I fetishize Poell as much as the next guy, but what's fugly is fugly...
pictures sometimes don't give a good representation of items. I use to think CCP was really overhyped ugliness until I handled it up close. I mean some things are ridiculous and ugly to me still, but you can't expect one to like everything a designer produces.
The shoes in question at face value its hard to say really whether they are ugly or not, imo. I enjoy looking at them, though..dunno if the grotesque look on his shoes has grown on me or something, lol. I don't like when people say shit like, "OH those shoes look like insert cheap shoe brand ____" cuz its just an easy way out without explaining why they don't like it or why it isn't worth the cost.

for some reason, it's so easy in fashion for the avant-garde to jump the shark and become simple bad taste.
less so in traditional visual art (painting, sculpture) in my opinion.And "When the prince has gathered about him
"All the savants and artists, his riches will be fully employed."
Canto XIII, Ezra Pound
