Animalistic Tendencies !

- so as i am browsing fashion week reviews and people watching at my favorite coffee shop.. i am spotting more and more footwear not only inspired by animal prints, but by anything having to do with them: whether it is the shape or by incorporating actual horns, feathers, and skins. 
   + these shoes become instantly one of a kind and more conceptual. 


- the first topic I want to touch on is the fact that AOI KOTSUHIROI unveiled an exotic regrets shoe collection, typically a jewelry designer this was unexpected and highly and widely accepted. 


   + here are a couple pictures of the first model made by the designer:




   + the shoes are made of urushi lacquered horns, urushi lacquered cherry tree and leather. The  shoes are black, 7.7” high and one-of-a-kind.


- the next shoe is by DSquared, the are inspired by animal vertebrae, at first they are quite scary, but once they are one they look amazing!




- the next pair of shoes is from Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 collection: These actually have different animals on them. They are super fun and instantly add a pop of color to any outfit.


- for the next trend, i have been seeing a lot of twists on classic, everyone knows that a leopard heel is not only a classy statement piece but that it never goes out of style. 
   + Taylor Reeve a designer for Men's Quiksilver has created a couple of shoes with a twist that i absolutely love!


- lastly using different textures, like feathers can really add interest to a basic black pair of stilettos.
  
   + these black feather pumps with a gold brocade heel were made by A La Femme as a tribute to Alexander McQueen.



- i hope this inspires you to tap into your animal instincts and spice up your wardrobe with some wild and fierce pair of shoes. RAWR !

   + CDJ ;)
