fashion forward

"Fashion is instant language."
Miuccia Prada

It can be magnificent, flamboyant art. It can also be a big pretentious wank... but there is an intractable little girl  in me who will always love playing dress-ups. And - as you know - the best kind of fashion is the kind that fulfills the desire to make myriad fantasies tangible.

animal skin boots!

What is it about animal skin – and particularly animal skin boots -  that is so damn seductive!

You know what I mean - the raw, unapologetic, feline power of leopard print.
Or that sleek, old-world, elegant dangerousness of snake skin.

Think Milan and Rome in 1959.
Think Gucci. Christian Louboutin.

Beautifully produced prints, worked with care and flare to produce art with a jungle edge – infinitely wearable and ludicrously sexy.

I’m not talking about the tacky made-in-China  sad-cougar copy-cats kind of feral prints. That trash isn't even in the same league, and you know it.

I’m talking about untamed magnetism.
Boots that as soon as you pull them on, make you feel like Queen Tigress of Chic.

Hells yeah to that!

(DISCLAIMER: HOWEVER I want to make it very clear that none of the big fashion houses to my knowledge use synthetic alternatives to real animal skins, which I find really sad, as I am TOTALLY against the fur and leather trade and cruelty to animals in all forms.  High quality fake replicas are the only things I would consider buying or wearing and this post is not a sign of my support of these trades. In fact the current trend to use real fur again in fashion I find abhorrent and disturbing. Check out this amazing pineapple skin leather alternative!)

Here are some beautiful boots and shoots that have caught my eye recently for your pleasure and inspiration.

Gucci did an amazing job with their knee high python skin boots in a full range of colours and their gorgeous emerald green pumps. I think they were the first to really do python hard core in such a massive and colourful way for boots.

And how freaking cool are Givenchy's mid-calf boots with their dazzling array of patterns and colours and banana heels!
Zany and varied enough to suit any character and any outfit.

As for Prada... always divine, always kooky, always elegant Prada.
She has to be different.
She just has to be herself.
Boots that look like snake skin knee high socks. In all weird colours.
Weird. Awesome.

And Louis Vuitton.
The master of adventuring into the wild and beyond.
How can you stop your inner vixen from purring and stretching her claws with his creations adorning your body!
I mean seriously!
