Givenchy & Giuseppe Zanotti for Halloween

As much as I love shoes, there are times when I find one (or a few) that just make me wonder what was running through the designer’s mind as they were creating it. I can appreciate an interesting shoe, don’t get me wrong. I just wonder if some designers design for specific clientèle or do they really think ‘real women’ would wear the crazy shoe designs they come up with in ‘real life’?

With that being said and since Halloween is around the corner, I thought I’d show you a couple pairs of shoes that remind me of Halloween costumes or at least would complement a few Halloween costumes.

Givenchy Urania Feather and Leather Sandals ($1150) Are you dressing up as a 1920’s flapper? If so, you might want to get a pair of these shoes. The combination of leather and feathers is pretty clever. Another costume idea for these shoes would be a showgirl or you can go as one of those daring Hollywood fashionistas. Victoria Beckham comes to mind when I think of these shoes too. Overall, these Givenchy sandals are pretty tame compared with the one I’ll talk about next…

Giuseppe Zanotti Swarovski Embellished Sandals ($1150)  Now this is a Halloween shoe! This would be the shoes I picture some wicked witch or some other dark and devilish figure to wear. Maybe, a sexy vampire? These are made out of black satin and decorated all over with crystals, definitely a come look at me kind of shoe!

For the same price you get two very different yet oddly similar shoes. If you had to choose, which one would you pick?   If you love them, they’re available on the Net-A-Porter website.
