DSQUARED2 Spectators at Shopbop.com

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Based in Italy, DSQUARED2 is a line designed by Dean and Dan Caten, Canadian twins from Canada. Launched as a menswear line in 1994, the duo didn’t venture into women’s fashion until 2003, after a chance encounter had them designing outfits for Madonna’s ‘Drowned World Tour’ in 2002. The pair has remained staunchly connected to the music industry since then, designing for big brand names like Rihanna and Christina Aguilera. They’ve also stayed connected to their menswear roots. These DSQUARED2 Lace Up Spectator Pumps with Open Toe are exactly what we expect to see from the designers who combine feminine rock ‘n’ roll with gender-bending glamor. “The DSQUARED2 woman is self-assured, vibrant, and sexy; the perfect complement to our signature men’s look,” Dan has said of the brand. We couldn’t agree more. The DSQUARED2 Lace Up Spectator Pumps with Open Toe is available at Shopbop.com for $434.

Have you ever wondered where the name ‘Keds’ comes from, how the capped-toe became a classic, why the “oxford” is called “oxford”, or where exactly the mary jane came from? Well, if your shoe obsessed like me, these are the kinds of things that weigh on your mind every time you see a great pair of shoes. If ‘scholar in the paradox of shoes’ was an actual doctoral degree, we’d be spending the next two years writing a dissertation on the resurgence of 15th century wooden chopines as todays platforms. Well, if you know any shoe fiends that even remotely border our shoesanity, we’ve found the perfect gift! Shoes: A Celebration of Pumps, Sandals, Slippers & More by Linda O’Keeffe is not just an ode in pictures and facts of some of the greatest shoe mysteries of the day, but an encyclopedia for all those shoe lovers secretly studying shoes! Available at gift stores, select book stores, and Amazon.com for $10.
