As a woman of shorter stature, platforms of any type are essential for my survival. Whether you’re 5’1”, like me, or a 5’11” glamazon, they always add the appropriate amount of height and retro accent. These beauties from the likes of Charlotte Olympia, Giuseppe Zanotti, and of course, Jeffrey Campbell will keep you looking chic and strutting down the streets of your city day and night.
