Isabelle and Zara got their hands on some gorgeous heels from Bionda Castana very recently, and, how nice of them, they've decided to share their favourites with all of us via Shiny Fashion TV. These shoes manage to be very "of-the-moment" with their trendy cutaway detailing, studding and lace-ups, yet still have a very classic quality about them - as Zara says, you'll want to wear these to Christmas parties and right through til next summer at least! Watch the vid above to get a close-up of these pieces of lush footwear eye candy.
Prepare to feel absolutely ill in just a minute. Because if you react in a similar fashion to how I just did while watching the above video, then you are bound to feel just a wee bit sickly at the sight of Paris Hilton's extensive shoe room (no silly little "wardrobes" around here guys!)
From the gorgeous YSL cage shoes to the Louboutin sparklers, we are raging with jealousy and wishing we had *that* shoe room to go home to every day (although we might lay off the hot pink shoes if it was ours). While the plugging of her numerous product lines is a bit icky, it's not going to stop us from recommending this vid to anyone who is even the slightest bit curious about what the wardrobe of Ms Hilton looks like.
Socks and summer aren't generally two words which run together nicely. But in the case of a UK summer (remember, that's a different kettle of fish folks!), adding socks to an outfit can create a landmine of summer styling options, especially for those days when you're just not sure how long the sun is going to stay out and play, or for those cooler evenings when that itty bitty skirt and heels somehow aren't going to keep the pins warm. In this vid, Zara and Isabelle get experimenting with different socks from Topshop, Tightsplease and Bebaroque - check it out and see what you think!
Zara's been at it again, tracking down shoes which will divide opinion like no other. This time she's found these patent multi strap heels from River Island and with their intriguing colour combination and interesting strappy design, we know you'll be able to conjure up some strong feelings for this one. Unfortunately, our comments are still down (but not for much longer - we'll keep you posted when they're back up and running!) so until then, head on over to our Shiny Fashion channel on YouTube and leave your comment there.
The Jimmy Choo spring/summer '09 campaign had lots of people talking, mostly because of the precariously placed stiletto heel in relation to model Angela Lindvall's thigh. Here is a behind-the-scenes video of what it took to create the ads, as narrated by Tamara Mellon. Each look is explained in detail as Angela is whisked around Manhattan to be photographed by Terry Richardson.Click play on video above to watch.
New York Magazine recently caught up with Pierre Hardy, to have a sticky-beak around his showroom. Amongst all his lovely new designs for fall 2009, Hardy explained why he thinks shoes have become so crazy over the last few years. Click the image above to watch video.
I'm a bit of a sucker for a 'how to wear high heels' video, so when the Guardian released their own, I just had to share it with you. Shoe expert, Nicole Jackson, puts shoe novice, Sarah Phillips, quite literally through her paces in varying heel heights. They road test an array of designer shoes, working their way up from a pair of four inch Brian Atwood heels, to a scary pair of Victoria Beckham-esque 5.5 inch Christian Louboutin stilettos. Click image above to watch the video and see the results.
