Five years ago, if you ask me to wear my Grandma’s shoes, I would yell out “Hell! No!” madly like a savage caveman insanely fighting a ferocious tiger; but after seeing so many Scandinavian girls rocking their beloved Granny’s outfits, I am not certain whether yesterday is really out and over with. The scrumptious shoes from Belgian designer Dries van Noten’s Fall/Winter 2009/10 collection carries that old vintage charm with the conservative cut in that familiar shade of camel, which we all remember our grannies by. The luxurious finishing touches (Ohh, that sexy slithering python and black stamped crocodile heel) and the selection of the lavish fabric (silk and leather) reveal an understated timeless elegance that perfectly accentuates the raw mystical allure of any modern outfits you are wearing, making these seductive shoes one of the most sought-after investments this season.
Honestly, everytime I go to Lane Crawford and catches a glimpse of these most-wanted shoes – whether on the shoe stand or hiding under a rack of beautiful clothes, I just delve madly into another world, where these immaculate shoes accompany my journey to redefine refinement and flawless sophistication through the concrete jungle of lifeless matters…
Well… If only my wallet is more well-equipped…
