Despite the worldwide recession, a fortunate few can still afford to lavish themselves in high-fashion couture. Therefore, I bring to you a banquet of a few haute boots found within iVillage’s 'Shoe Porn Edition.'
Representing popular gothic and mythical fashion trends are designer Thomas Wylde’s Warrior Skull Boots with multiple buckles and the limited edition Pegasus Boots by Maison Martin Margiela. Tall and sexy boots have been popular this year too; I love the suede Misa over-the-knee boots by Halston.
Many fashionistas drool over a cute pair of ankle boots. Alexander McQueen’s Three-Tongue boots, Robert Cavilli’s Bungee boots, 4-inch tall tie booties from Marc Jacobs, Givoni’s 68-strap ankle boot, and Pleated Ankle Boot by Maison Martin Margiela have the power to make fashionistas drool with excitement.
Finally, in the slightly unusual taste category are Star Cow Boots by Old Gringo and Marc Jacobs’ Pumps combined with fishnet stockings.
