    The All-Time Ugliest Shoes in the History of Fashion

      Prada Acrylic and Crystal Sandals, S/S 2010
      A champion of "ugly beauty," Miuccia delivered with her crystal-strewn sandal-iers for S/S 2010. With their mix of acrylic and cut crystal, she described them (and the rest of the collection) as a reflection of "how life is today. High and low, palazzos, and the popular." We just wish they lit up.
