With some people struggling to pay their rent, it's good to know that in fashion we have our priorities sorted! For haute-couture week, French cobbler Bruno Frisoni brings you a £30,000 pair of heels by Roger Vivier. Now I have to admit, though totally not my style, they are stunning.Just looking at all the detail and craftsmanship is making my eyes pop out. Please note the following details: 24 ct gold-coated mesh, semi-precious stones, jet-satin ribbons, silk chiffon, diamanté and crocodile skin fashioned into dainty rosettes.
The "Dovima", as the shoe is affectionately named, has an 11-cm spike heel with a confection of gilded silk mesh and jewels. It is embellished with a pair of rose-pink-dyed taxidermy birds, with gold and crystal heads. I know, unbelievable stuff!
But with a £30,000 price tag, and a three-month wait from when ordered, are these gems works of art, or are Vivier and Bruno Frisoni just plain cuckoo!
