Designer Spotlight: Alexandre Vauthier

Line created 2009
France
Designed under Jean-Paul Gaultier and Thierry Mugler

Fall/Winter 2011-2012



Amazing, what you can do with just one color.  My favorite can be seen around 8:33.  I just wish it didn't have that giant slit down the middle of it.  I also like the little dresses you can see from 3:00 to 5:00.  I love the fur, too.  All the red kind of accents the "crown jewel" that appears at the end.  This beautiful gown that shines in a sea of crimson and scarlet.  It's quite appealing.

Worn by:

Beyonce Knowles

Rihanna

Lady Gaga

Ciara

My Favorite Shoes

Originally posted on Outward Expression.

These are the most comfortable and fun shoes to wear. They were originally a Target product -- Xhiliration, to be exact -- but have long since been discontinued. I got 'em at a Garage Sale for a buck. But a few weeks later I saw the same ones at a thrift store for fifteen dollars. They add a lot of pizzazz to an outfit, but very subtly. I like them best with bell-bottom jeans.

Some Thoughts on Footwear

So when it comes to vintage footwear, it helps to be creative. These are horseback riding boots. I used to ride horses. Honestly, I did. Anyway, I have had these forever, and not had the heart to give them away. They're my stompy boots. When I started playing around with my look, I found they came in handy. They look old (goodness knows they've been worn), but they still clean up nicely. They're not the most comfortable (I made the mistake of wearing them to the Mall of America with fishnets instead of socks. Long story short: blisters) and they look really out of place, but I still like them. If you want boots like this, by all means go to a place that caters to horse back riders. You'll pay way too much if you try to buy them from a normal people shop.

Lady Gaga Shoes!!

More of that amazing Gagalicious fashion that I love...
check these out!

Try Giorgio Armani Glitter Heels...
What can I do to make these things mine????

"Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?"

Lucchese 1883 Mad Dog Goat Women's Boots

Noted to be similar to the ones used in Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA" music video... Not quite the same but they're believably the same brand.

I think I should get into this cowboy boot thing. They're sturdy, comfy, and pretty legit vintage.

New Diane von Furstenberg

Okay so I was looking up celeb stories for this blog (as a good shoe blogger should do), and I saw an ad for Neiman Marcus on glam.com, and I was quite intrigued so I clicked on it and MAN ARE THESE DIANE VON FURSTENBERG SANDALS are AMAZING. Heeere they aarrrreeeee!!!!


Opal Crisscross Wedge Sandal -- $295.00
Seems rather comfortable as well as stylish...




Lady Love Knot Sandal -- $295.00
I'm really digging the celtic knot designs on this shoe. Very springy!

Darker and lighter shades....

Heels on a three-year-old?

Katie Holms doesn't see a problem with adourning her three-year-old daughter Suri in inch-heel shoes, but many health professionals say it could be detrimental to a growing toddler's development. The shoes can cause foot problems like bunions and bent toes in the future. Plus, kids that young have feet that just keep on growing, which can accelerate foot maladies. For me, the worst thing toddler heels can do is lead to accidents among toddlers still trying to get a feel for their balance.

Once in a while, it's fun to dress your girls up, but apparently this has gone on for a while.

I dunno, Katie.

What worries me more is the Starbucks cup in her hand.

Some Spring to her Step...

September 29, 2009

Helena Bonham Carter was seen wearing some interesting footwear when picking up her son last September.

Z-CoiL Pain Relief footwear is designed with a patented shock-absorption heel and a orthotic plate. Apparently it relieves foot and ankle pain through a new weight-distribution technology. I just think they look cool...

Here's a question: will people wear these for the health reasons, or just to look cool?

Shoedazzle.com

I really don't like Kim Kardashian almost at all, but she's developed this cool online shopping program where personal stylists design shoes for you on a monthly basis. The sampling I got to see was pretty darn cool.



here's the Link, if you're interested...

And of course here's the sampling... I'm really liking pretty much the whole top row.

Balenciaga and Shoe Art

I'll take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate it when people turn something with such a mundane purpose as keeping your feet covered into a work of art. Balenciaga does just this.

Some of their latest for Winter 2009:

Love the heels on this one...

Lady Gaga Hello Kitty?

Don't quite know how I feel about these Hello Kitty shoes Gaga wore at a recent photoshoot. I love the style... but I wonder just how much farther she'll be able to get away with going.

Betsey Johnson Red Plaids...

I don't know about you, but Betsey Johnson's got me MAD FOR PLAID.

Check out these 4-inch heel boots. $188.

Some of her previous red plaid styles.... This pattern never gets old.

My favorite Ballin for Anna Sui

Check it out... an open-toed boot. Interesting. Totally defeats the purpose of "boot," but still looks great. I'd wear it.

Then again, I'd wear anything.

Purple is my favorite color, by the way. That's why I particularly like the Ballin' for Anna Sui line that's out this season.

Katy Perry

Let's talk Katy Perry, shall we?

Amazing platforms. Go to this link for the detail. It's worth it.

Some amazing boots... Katy Perry Style.

Right: Louboutons!!!

Classic red heels we adore.

Her custom designs: Disco Princess by Vans and her custom black-and-white Keds.

Apparently these are some of her favorites:

Javari sequins!!

She's often seen in Louboutin.

"Thinking of You" shoes by Giambattista.

I got these pics from http://soleenvie.com/shoeblog/tag/katy-perry/ -- yet another shoe blog of which I draw my best inspirations. The actual black shoes worn by Perry are now out of stock. Bummer.

Here they are in action. Everything about this outfit I love.

And, to top it off, she performs in a giant shoe. I love her.
