fornarina, blue suede bootie
Hmmm, looks like Fornarina is taking the history of the blue suede shoe and making it uniquely theirs. These ‘Arlette’ booties from Fornarina are taking the menswear trends of 2007 - tapered heels and spectator shapes - and adding them to the pop color revolution and reinvention of suede in couture footwear. We’re not huge fans of this shoe from the side. There is something about the tapered heel and pointy toe that makes it all seem a little awkward (though it could be that terrible aversion we have to the pointy toe in all styes of footwear), but we’re loving the color and spectator shoes (femme fatale) has always shared a special nook in our black little shoe heart.
