As the Arctic vortex continues to freeze out most of the nation (except for those lucky folks down in Florida and on the California coast), many women are seriously contemplating what they can do to improve their footwear collection. To that end, we are going to breeze through five really exciting and fashion forward shoes from the likes of Versace, Givenchy, Giuseppe Zanotti and MM6 Maison. So let’s get to it!
#1: Versace Black Leather Chain Sneakers
These biker–chick inspired gold tone adorned high top sneakers feature quality Italian leather, tonal stitching and an awesome looking gold chain. Look closely, and you can see anornamental “Medusa’s Head” attached to the sneakers’ tongue – a bold touch. Versace sneakers are not exactly meant for kicking it hardcore at the club or playing rugby but rather for wearing out on the scene. Pull them on, for instance, before you head to a producer’s glam party in the Hollywood Hills or to a big corporate fundraising dinner.
#2: Givenchy Pink Glittered Leather Tyson High-Top Sneakers
As Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga have brought artifice back into the popular culture, shoe designers are playing catch up. These Italian–made glitter–coated leather high-tops are sure to bedazzle. The metallic pink shininess almost seems appropriate for a video game character – a bubblegum–chewing jiu-jitsu practicing heroine, perhaps?
#3: Giuseppe Zanotti White Lindos Bianco London High-Tops
Want to let your inner Spice Girl loose? These Italian made leather high-tops look performance–ready. The gold tone metal logo and hardware and signature zipper all combine to craft a truly British aesthetic.
#4: MM6 Maison Martin Margiela White and Beige Lacquered Velcro Sneakers
These sneakers look something from the far feature – like they should belong to a gorgeous female robot or simulacrum. They feature Italian leather and padded velcro straps – perhaps appropriate for a clean room or a club of the future. Grab these now, before Ray Kurzweil’s “Singularity” happens, and artificially intelligent robots come to take your shoes!
#5: Versace’s Lavender Purple Patent Leather High-Tops
These bubblegum fun Italian–made high-tops also feature the Versace “Medusa Head” and lots of nice gold–tone touches. The shininess and color of the purple leather create a feeling of“futuristic austerity.” Wear them to work, or wear them out to a crazy night of clubbing with your girlfriends. You’ll look great and catch some attention.
Hopefully, these five shoes will give you a leg up, so to speak, on competition out there 😉 Click the purple links to indulge.
Those Givenchy sparklers are calling my name. My wallet is ignoring the call, but my heart is going pitter-patter. LOVE.
