Ok, so you’re a good Church/religious girl who can’t curse. Perhaps these Jeffrey Campbell shoes can do the talking for you. In this case, it’s screaming “Fuck Off” on the toes part of the sandals. You only have to convince your parents to foot the check to get you a pair! Wish we could help you there. If you do manage to convince them that it’s for a school play, then we say, “enjoy them in good health.” 🙂

Sarah Burton’s Fall 2013 collection for Alexander McQueen would make the late legendary namesake equally proud. Some of the looks presented at the runway collection were obviously inspired from the late designer’s own archives, a throw back to his Elizabethan inspired collection where models carried Orbe and covered with elegant headdresses complete with regal floor length red satin coats. Sarah Burton did hers with a twist. The styles evoked more of a winter white snow queen, designed during the last stage of her pregnancy. Unlike most runway collections, Sarah’s shoe collection for the label spoke volume and helped carry the tone for the entire collection. It was almost as if she started with the drawings of the shoes and worked her way up! These are the kind of shoes that make great collectibles in any closet or mantle for that matter. She has really outdone herself with this collection. Bravo Sarah! Long live McQueen!

How much do you love your boots? Here’s a note & photo from Rihanna about her custom made boots by Madame Miuccia Prada, “Gotcha
bitch tip toeing on my marble flo’! Sick ass custom Prada boots! Miuccia you RULE!!! Thank you!”

Who could ever forget Lady Gaga’s music video “Marry The Night”? In case you can’t remember, preview the footage below.

Lady Gaga’s 18-inch ballet “Lady Pointe” ballet shoes were apparently custom made for the video “Marry The Night” by Japanese designer Noritaka Tatehana but never did make it into the video. They would be the second highest the designer has ever crafted for the singer, merging the worlds of ballet, art and haute couture. Some of his designs can be seen on display at the ongoing “Shoe Obsession” FIT museum exhibit in New York City, which includes the highest shoes he has ever made for Lady Gaga; pictured here.

The singer is no stranger to extreme edgy shoes. Below is another pair exclusively designed for her perfume launch press appearance by Rem D. Koolhaas. The singer insisted on the higher the better and that was exactly what she got, peppered with nude golden boys hanging on to the boots.

Without further ado, we present the “Lady Pointe” below:

Alexander Wang made his Balenciaga debut at the Fall 2013 Paris Fashion Week representing the legendary sculptural quality of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s monolithic legacy very well.  And to think the 29 year old creative director had only a few weeks to prepare the entire collection. The New York based designer definitely made his mark in Paris. He cleverly did a different twist to T strap and V strap shoes in the collection. That has to be the most unique style of shoes we have seen in a while.

Casual and formal shoes were presented at the Lanvin Fall 2013 collection in Paris. The creative director Elbaz, has always been a fashion favorite and his collections are highly favored by fashion connoisseurs worldwide. It’s no wonder that his shoes did not disappoint either. We can’t wait to see them clacking everywhere by fall. They are just so adorable and timeless.

Creative director Raf Simons tapped into his pre-fashion career in contemporary art for inspiration at the Dior Fall 2013 runway collection. Simons has a background as a gallerist for the likes of Dalí and Giacometti and was able to combine both world of art and fashion for the collection. For us Shoe lovers, this couldn’t be any more perfect, especially where shoes and bags become one as art. We look forward to adding this collection to our growing number of shoe themed collectibles. Simons must have had Shoeholics in mind when he drew ornate shoes on rich fabrics for the Dior Fall 2013 collection. Who knew Shoeholics could inspire an entire collection? At Christian Dior no less. Borrowing from President Obama’s campaign slogan; Change has come to fashion!

Beyonce’s taste in fashion was always going to be pretty lavish. Her latest footwear acquisition is a pair of custom-made trainers, made for her by high end brand Perfectly Made Kicks (PMK) using exotic animal skins.
PMK handcrafted the sneakers to her exact specifications using a mix of stingray, ostrich, calf’s fur, crocodile and anaconda skins.

Hope you like the outcome.

In the wake of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation and in the days leading up to the conclave to elect his successor, new shadows would fall on the Church but the masterminds Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana used the golden mosaics of Sicily’s Cathedral of Monreale as a starting point for their new Fall collection. They presumably made that design decision months ago, long before the Pope announced his resignation. Dolce and Gabbana’s fall 2013 designs could very well make for an all-time collectibles amongst fashionistas.
