This season, whether real or faux, exotic animal skins have been seen on many fashion accessories this season. Recently, I’ve been noticing the abundance of shoes that have incorporated these skin into the design. Here are a few of our faves:

Above shoes all from fave designer Gracienne. Check out their designer discovery here.

Gracienne (pronounced Grah-See-En-A) is a luxury brand which features fab shoes that retail for about $270-375. While the collection is just 2 seasons old, celeb fans including Fergie and Paris Hilton have already become brand loyalists. Not only is the line sexy but it’s actually incredibly easy to wear, thanks to built in comfort technology.

The Gladiators in the collection may pale in comparison to Balenciaga, but they are completely worth your attention if you’re looking a bit of cheap chic. You can shop these looks at Gracienne.com.
