Embellishment For Your Feets (as Manolo might say)
Over on Sewing Divas I posted a valentine to Isabel Toledo’s new collection for Ann Klein, and the love it-or-hate it reaction pretty much reminds me of the reaction to Karl Lagerfeld’s first collection for Chanel 2+ decades ago. Something tells me this type of controversy is a good thing for Isabel’s future at Anne Klein.
One accessory from the show I lusted after where those Ghillies. I’ll admit they seem to be a love it-or-hate it shoe style. Diva Ann doesn’t like them at all, but I really do, and I have a pair in beige suede that’s has been in my closet for over 10 years.
You can bet I’ll be wearing them again this year after I sew up my versions of Isabel’s designs for my fall wardrobe. Ghillies are a great walking shoe, super with pants and adorable with the right kind of skirt. Nanflan reminds us that Anne Klein has a shoe line, so hopefully Isabel’s runway version will soon show up on Zappos.
But until that happens - Behold - the John Fluevog Darjeeling Ghillie! A big thank you goes to Vivienne for pointing out this really fun shoe.
