Gaetano Perrone for Té Casan
Geatano Perrone is a shoe designer to watch out for. Formerly of Alexander McQueen, Perrone’s creations “are a contemporary gift, each a living archive”. His squared-off toe pumps with a hidden platform, inspired by a ballet shoe, are stunningly beautiful and architectural masterpieces. How can you not stand tall in them? And with prices topping at $375 a pair, they are relatively affordable compared to other designer shoes. Actually, these Diana satin shoes were on sale for $189 but when Gossip Girl star Blake Lively wore them on Wednesday morning at a talk show, the price reverted back to its retail price and is now sold out. The squared-off toe shoes also come in flats and other materials like patent leather, pearlised leather and croc embossed. They are limited edition with 100 pairs per size and are available only at Té Casan in New York City.
