shrimper Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 So who is your favourite shoe designer? My vote would go to Christain Louboutin SW My vote goes to the guy at Payless that picks a style to knock off every season. They actually do a good job most of the time.
roz Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Christian Louboutin. I could never understand why people pay more than a few hundred pounds for their shoes, now I have bitten the bullet and bought some Louboutins I can completely see why.
Amanda Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Christian Louboutin. I could never understand why people pay more than a few hundred pounds for their shoes, now I have bitten the bullet and bought some Louboutins I can completely see why. Do you have another pair planned yet Roz?
t-strap lover Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I'm not that familiar with chistion louboutin shoes but they sound very exspensive. can you get those shoes in a size 12 us? leather? for 30 or 40 dollars? if not then I'll agree with shrimper. t-straps are my favorite style.

Amanda Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Just one more link......sorry http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Christian_Louboutin/Shoes
Stockw Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 Just one more link......sorry http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Christian_Louboutin/Shoes You can no longer get some of the best designs from last years collection. The Pigalles are to die for, the Rolande too. You get what you pair for, I bet every girl with a pair of Louboutins thinks they got value for money!! I do like to pair of Zonatti's that Gwyneth Paltrow was seen wearing in Rome last week but overall Louboutin has it as the moment! SW Honestly a girl can't have too many shoes!
t-strap lover Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks for the Chistian Louboutin site info. every pair there was winner. If I had that kind of money I would buy 6 or 7 pairs. I don't think any was in my size. I think 44 is a size 12. t-straps are my favorite style.
roz Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Hi Everyone, It is hard to put into words why I like my Louboutins. As soon as I put them on I just feel amazing. They look so pretty and feel like a work of art, and despite not being as "out there" as some of the shoes I wear so many people were talking about them. Amanda - of course it was thanks to you that I got my pair! And yes, I really want to buy another pair. I am not sure which ones to get yet, some of the ones I really like have been discontinued. I might go into London like someone suggested in a PM and have a shop around. Isn't there supposed to be a Louboutin shop opening soon?! I would love to go there! Gwyneth Paltrow has been looking *amazing* recently, I have loved a lot of the heels she has been wearing. Didn't know they were Zonattis so thanks SW.
benno Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Giuseppe Zanotti makes some amazing shoes. I have a pair and the fit and comfort is incredible when you consider that they are 5 inch heels. My favourite designer is Pierre Hardy. I prefer his slighty understated designs to the raw, almost pornographic, sexiness of Louboutin. I love the shape of the arch on Pierre Hardy's high heels. Out of last years shoes the highest version of YSL's tribute simple open toe pump was my favoutite.
benno Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Here are some more. I would have posted them all at once but 5 photos is the maximum in one go. I can see Roz lusting after the pink Nicholas Kirkwood platforms. Just to show that high end expensive stuff is not all I lust after. I have included a pair from good old Topshop.
benno Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 And finally... Here are 5 favourites that my girlfriend and I own. The black patent Kurt Geiger laceups were my Christmas present from my girlfriend. Regards, Ben
Stockw Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 The YSL Tribute shoe is very nice. SW Honestly a girl can't have too many shoes!
johnieheel Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 And finally... Here are 5 favourites that my girlfriend and I own. The black patent Kurt Geiger laceups were my Christmas present from my girlfriend. Regards, Ben Very nice Christmas presant! real men wear heels
crotchboots-m Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 pleasers. why? because they fairly comfortable and i can afford them
Ninanoora Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 There is many, louboutins designs are very nice indeed. Gianmarco Lorenzi, Geraldino di Maggio, Roberto Cavalli, Christian Dior, Cesare Paciotti, Steve Madden. Hard to pick one, but if i would need to, i would pick GM lorenzi. "Even when I'm a mess, I put on a vest... with an S on my chest, oh yes.. I'm a Superwoman.. "
Stockw Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Blimey some of the heels on those Gianmarco Lorenzi shoe are outrageous! Honestly a girl can't have too many shoes!
shrimper Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Just one more link......sorry http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Christian_Louboutin/Shoes How do you say that? is it 'Loo-boo-tan'? Anyway, I never knew he makes mid-heels and flats, though why wouldn't he. Its just that his high styles get all the press. Thanks for the link.
roz Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I like some of his mid-heels, I love the ones in the link below for example and nearly bought those instead of the purple ones I got instead. http://www.brownsfashion.com/product/designers/womenscollections/fashion/christianlouboutin/90069.htm I always say "loo-boo-tan" like you.
IBL70 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Hello , As i'm french you may think my favorite designer is Louboutin , i agree he makes nice creation , but one of my favorite is Gianmarco Lorenzi , i like also : Le Silla , Luciano Padovan , Bologna , Sergio Rossi , Cavallari , Vicini , Icone , Loriblu , Casadei , Biondini , Zanotti , Luichiny (Spain), El Dantes (Spain), Andriano Diaggi (Ukrainia), Free Lance ( French ) , Barbato , Gina ( England ) , Legende de Paris (closed) , Paciotti , Santa Cruz , Jeu de Femmes , Renzi , Zanotti , Venturini , Versace , TLSB ( England ) , Ernest (Paris) etc ... a lot of Italian as you can see .
gary0618 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 How about Givenchy? These Croc Courts are way out of my budget. GivenchyCrocCourt.bmp FLAT SHOES, LIKE FLAT DRINKS, ARE FOR FLAT PEOPLE
lorenziluvrr Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Very good question. Well, as my name would imply, my vote would go to Gianmarco Lorenzi. I love the look, quality and attainability. As a guy who has size 10M feet, I need well fitting 43 or 44 euro ladies to make life comfortable and functional. GML boots in 43 are perfect, 42 for certain models possible. For GML pumps, 43 as 42 is toe crushing. Jean-Gaborit from France has wonderful thigh high boots. I also love many models of Loriblu, Icone, Louboutin, Santa Cruz, Stuart Weitzman and Andriano Diaggi. For reasonably priced shoes, the hands down winner for me is Nine West. The choices for their sexy stilettos in size 12 is unbeatable! For mid-priced makers, I favour Italian Heels and Brazilian Orchid. Having said all that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And thats waht makes life interesting. Cheers! Lorenziluvrr
bootsforme Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 As long as we are talking about "cutting edge" designs here, I would add Roberto Cavalli to the list. The wild patterns on his boots are striking. Aldo is pretty cool, and so are Franco Sarto, Biondini, and Ralph Lauren.
k6ps Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I'm probably haven't seen the works many excellent top designers, but so far i tend to like: Ash, Ann Demeulemeester, Frye, Born, Tommy Hilfiger, Rick Owens, and Converse. Happy Heeling k6ps
corredorx300 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Louboutin for sure has to be my fav designer. Some that rank high up: Casadei DSQUARED Giuseppe Zanotti LAMB Luciano Padovan More affordable Designers: Charles David Miss Sixty Nine West Steve Madden Bebe BCBG
thighboots Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 My favourite based soley in look has to be louboutin. But, as I need at least a size 42 (UK 9) I don't think I will ever own a pair. My other half favours Jimmy Choo, they seem to have more timeless classics and a better range of heel heights.
