SHOE ENVY: Jeffrey Campbell Claussen

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:26:51 +0000

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there’s a platform I dream of, from Jeffrey Campbell‘s eye. Somewhere over the rainbow, there’s a shoe, and the height that you want to be really will come true. I think Dorothy would feel far from Kansas in the graphically pleasing Claussen, straight from the mind of our favorite funky shoe man. Do you dream in black and white or Technicolor?

Snag a pair for $154.95 at Solestruck.com.

"Sex Kitten"

The Fashion Web — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:21:00 +0000

Christian Louboutin (elle.com) This has to be one of the most fabulous of shoes for the upcoming season! They are at once, feminine, sexy and chic. I envision the likes of Marilyn Monroe or Dorothy Dandridge “slinking” about in an equally sexy dress or stunning, fur-trimmed lounge wear. If I owned a pair, when not wearing them (that would be as often as possible), I would have them prominently displayed as one would a decorative piece. They are after all, “that shoe!”

STREET HEROES: Back To Oz

I have to say, these red booties are much more fashionable than Dorothy’s. I can’t say I’ve ever seen someone be able to pull off fire engine red shoes without being hideously tacky. And the sequin tuxedo jacket? Love.

Sneak Peak: Sergio Rossi’s Version of the Dorthy Slippers

Rebecca Alexander — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:30:52 +0000

This is a sneak peak of Sergio Rossi’s version of Dorothy’s famous ruby red shoes, as part of a particularly fashionable commemoration of the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz.

Incorporating CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements, Sergio Rossi joins 19 other designers including Betsey Johnson, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik to reinterpret the character’s iconic slippers as part of a showcase and auction to raise money for the Elizabeth Glaser Paediatric AIDS foundation.

The fruits of their fashionable labour will be unveiled at Saks Fifth Avenue on September 4 before moving to Bryant Park on September 5 for the start of New York Fashion Week. Public viewings are also planned throughout 2009.

Personally, I think this doesn’t at all resemble the original slippers, with the 8 inch heal and sex kitten like swirls. I would have preferred to see an actual updated remake…Now Betsy Johnson should be able to do this no prob!

Thanks Vogue UK
