This is my favorite pair of shoes, even though I am not wearing them anymore to save them as collectibles and show them to all those still remembering the grandeur of Christian Lacroix catwalks as well as his flamboyant, luminous personality. I am very happy that he’s still doing amazing things, despite his own couture house’s sad story, leading more the theatrical path, the one he has always led, even when hard times were imposing more commercial choices on other fellow Haute Couturiers. You can read a wonderful New York Times article on this. I bought this pair of shoes maybe 7 or 8 years ago and I still love them as much as I did on day one. If anybody has the same pair in their closet, please let me know. I am very excited! Sacha Walckhoff, a new designer just revealed his own vision for Lacroix Menswear F/W 2012, which is quite different from the house’s signature style, but it seems very interesting that those models would certainly love to wear my sneakers with their relaxed but not so impressive outfits. They could have been the ultimate highlights if ‘reborn’ and put once again in production, although originally designed for women…
