These shoes aren’t at all what I was expecting when I saw the word “zebra” in the product title: rather than the familiar (and slightly garish, in the hands of the wrong designer) black and white print we’re all used to, these use cutouts to cunningly suggest a zebra print, with your own bare skin as the backdrop. Texture and shine are added with a crystal overlay on the leather, and there’s a gold piping to finish the whole lot off. It sounds like a lot of detail when you write it down, but the finished product is actually much more sophisticated than it sounds, and definitely one of the more inventive uses of “zebra” I’ve seen.
These are by Valentino, so of course they’re jaw-droppingly expensive: $1,275 is the price, and you can click here to buy them from Neiman Marcus.
Jaw-dropping price, but also jaw-dropping beauty. I love these!
I think I’m in love.
That’s all I have to say about these babies.
Valentino is a god <3
I’m on the fence with these ones. I’d like to see what they look like on the foot. I think I want to like them, but am unsure.
They are hideously expensive but they are fabulously gorgeous!
I think these would look amazing on! We need to fix that price though :/
