Fashion is an extravagance for the world’s rich and famous. Any man or woman who wants to dress like a million bucks wants to wear the most well-known designer brands, often from head to toe. However, no accessory is quite as important to a woman as her shoes. The lengths women will go to look fabulous are impressive, especially when you consider that many women are walking around in shoes that kill their feet all because they feature a designer label. And this season, the most popular designer shoes are more expensive than ever.
Manolo Blahnik
The “it” shoe of the season is the Manolo Blahnik Blixia. It’s an alligator pump with a closed, pointed toe and a 90mm heel. This classic pump doesn’t look like anything that hasn’t been on the market for decades, with its classic shape, modest heel and alligator design. However, these Italian pumps are available at Barney’s New York for only $4,600. The good news is that these timeless pumps will be just as stylish in 10 years as they are today, which makes them a little bit more worth the money.
Christian Louboutin
Everybody who is anybody knows that Christian Louboutin is the shoe designer du jour. His shoes are the most coveted, most recognizable on the planet thanks to their obvious red sole. Don a pair of Louboutins and you’re immediately in a class above everyone else. This season, the designer introduced the Bianca. These platform pumps feature a 6-inch heel and they’re covered from front to back in gold sequins. To own a pair of these, you’ll need to shell out $1,695.
Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo’s Hologram Mesh Booties are another “it” shoe this season. Everyone is wearing booties with everything from skinny jeans to dresses to shorts. They’re everywhere. That’s what makes these mesh shoes popular. That, combined with the designer logo, makes these shoes worth a staggering $1,395. They’re available at Berdorf Goodman for the woman who is willing to spend this much on shoes no one will wear again next season.
