The Wait is Over
But that doesn't imply Rihanna's next album coming to fruition. This is more about Hefner kicks and metallic birds. Its been a long time coming, even since before the days of two tone booties that resemble violent weaponry and little cuban men dancing on green velvet grounds, so today in tear-jerking collaborations that rock: Del Toro and myself combine mental beans to create a loafer that so eloquently states another MR mantra: vive le fancy flamingo. The design concept was born last April while still on a burgundy suede Celine trip, unable to refer to humans as humans, in favor of dubbing them tropical vertebrae. Had it been any later, these likely would have been houndstooth-clad, flamingo still on foot. After all, they're a salute to spring's tropical prints and an easy insert on the man repeller front. Note the striking comparisons: awkward necks, beaks for mouths, unusual bodies, mile-long legs and, you know, just general fanciness. In the name of asymmetry, I gave the embroidered little dudes some counterparts of another color hue and there you have it: you're silver, you're gold, you're badass, you're old. Or young, whatever, annihilate my rhyme if you feel like you have to, but buy thee flamingos here.

I definately like the color, the flamingos,... but somehow I just can't imagine myself wearing shoes like that outside the house. Really associate them with grandpas or pyjamas. But maybe after looking at trendy ladies wearing loafers for another few months, I'll start loving them aswell.

ANything that resembles Hef's footwear is a comfortable go in my book. And my absolute affinity for flamingos land these sweet babies on my lust list. Ryan Gosling makes the list, if that adds any perspective. XO

I love Del Toro- so proud of the guys and how far they have gone!
ReplyDeleteLove the asymmetry...so much fun!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I appreciate the Rihanna reference.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, these are bananas. If I wasn't a broke college boy, and these came in a Men's size 10, I'D TOTALLY BUY THEM.

I want them soooo bad! But then I wouldn't have enough for tuition and then I'd be a sad moocher with a pair of really fancy feet... maybe it is worth the switch off! Lol.

Love these! I just bought a leather pair with little skull and crossbones at one of the Chinese Laundry stores! I love the quirky detail!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap those are adorable! Unfortunately, Loafers on me look like duck feet, but they'll look gorgeous on all the willowy tall girls.
