Shoe D’Jour : Swash Buckler

by jennine on January 28, 2008

givenchy.jpg Givenchy’s looking a little more avant garde these days, as the young Riccardo Tisci takes Givenchy’s couture line. I know, I’m a little late in relaying the latest of all the Spring Couture shows, and I’m not really sure how to cover them in a personal manner… except when it comes to shoes. Oh, my.. at first I was taken by the ribbon gladiators, but I find these buckle booties a bit more inspired. They’re like stilettos with ankle belts. Honestly, it reels in some ideas of what to do with some pre-existing shoes in my closet.

Givenchy has been rocking my world for a few seasons now. Not that any of it will ever see my closet!

Sorry; these shoes are just bad. What happened to beautiful footwear that enhanced the foot,ankle and legs and complimented your outfit? It seems everyone wants to be so “avant garde” they’ve forgotten style, proportion (eg–skinny heel, HUGE BOOT) and sexy

I actually love buckled boots, those aren’t my favorite i’ve seen but I’d still wear them in a hot minute. I’ve got these fantastic ralph lauren buckled shoes that have just the right touch without being too girly or too industrial.
