I must confess to my absolute disgust every time I see those Miu Miu spring 2012 ready-to-wear mules. Lauded by Vogue UK in their Vogue Spy article as the new shoe shape to look out for, "the return of the mule". I can only warn you, dear lovely chicettes.
Visually speaking, those bastards in style, shape and appeal would go straight into the bin. But on a linguistic-biological level, they are true mules: according to zoology, mules are animal hybrids of a horse and a donkey. And so mules are hybrids in fashion as well. When done well, you can get away with it. But when done painfully -such as is the case with the Miu Miu example above- you just end up resembling the sad little donkey/horse in the zoo when wearing them.
