Old McDonald had a Louis Vuitton?

Across the other side of the globe the fashion elite are wrapping themselves in all sorts of fabulousness and taking their seats at all the big name shows during NY Fashion Week. Since our modest little blog is launching in the middle of this auspicious event, we thought it fitting that our first shoe feature be picked straight off the freshly walked runway.

Cue the new 'animal inspired' line from Louis Vuitton.

Louis Vuitton - Spring 2011 Collection

WHY WE LOVE IT

Deers, Zebras, Flamingoesque birds... nature provides the beauty and inspiration for many an artist or fashion designer so this journey into the animal kingdom shouldn't come as a suprise, but with the transformation of a stiletto heel into an intricate, delicate yet wild horselike leg - suprising it is!

WHAT WE'D WEAR IT WITH

I'd rock the colourful zebra inspired heels with a bright orange mini dress, gold oversized drop earrings so big they'd possibly take out a passerby if I swung around too fast, and an updo.

Now because this is the first feature post perhaps I should explain this last bit... while the above is actually all about the shoes... this last bit of the regular posts is 'a little bit silly'. If you're open to reading ridiculous little scenarios, dreamt up by a lass with a severe overactive imagination then tune into the 'in these shoes I'd' part of the our regular posts for a giggle.

IN THESE SHOES I'D...

...continuing in the 'animal love' theme, while drinking a 'rainforest alliance' friendly coffee out of a 110% recylced paper cup, I'd don my best black stealth outfit and join the PETA folk in a local protest... might even stop to throw coloured paint at a celeb (think Samantha Jones, SATC Movie #1). The day could also possibly include a trip to the zoo to compare the likeness of the shoes to the real deal. Why not I say!
