Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2009 Couture Shoes

A Woman and Her Shoes — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:10:23 +0000

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2009 Couture Collection is very sexy and sophisticated. The shoes have a pointed toe with stiletto heels and metallic, mirrored leather. I am not sure but I think the fishnet detail is part of the shoes and not part of the ankle stocking which is really cool. I like the simplicity of these shoes.

Jean Paul Gaultier Winter 2008/ 09 Shoe Collection

A Woman and Her Shoes — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:35:00 +0000

The ‘enfant terrible’ of French fashion does it again with these cutting edge boots from his Winter 2008-9 shoe collection. The whole collection was filled with fur, fur and more fur.

The shoes I find are a tad bland. They look like something you would find in any high street store with no particular label. Am not being funny but if I pay good money for a designer pair of shoes, I do not want to walk next to someone in her Manonos and people cannot even tell which shoes are real!

I bet PETA will be all over these like white on rice! lol

Jean Paul Gaultier Red Leather Spartan Flat Sandals

A Woman and Her Shoes — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:52:00 +0000

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Red Leather Spartan Flat Sandals, £580.00, are a force to be reckoned with. They are the ultimate gladiator sandal. I absolutely love these and they will be very caliente this summer. Remind me a lot of the Balenciaga sandals. (They also come in black)

Jean Paul Gaultier Paris Spring 2008 Collection

A Woman and Her Shoes — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:49:00 +0000

I’ve loved Jean Paul Gaultier since the Euro- Trash days back in the day. The ‘enfant terrible’ of French fashion is a cutting edge designer and these boots from his Spring 2008 show prove it. Absolutely ace these.

It’s always the badly dressed people who are the most interesting.
