Description
The invitation said black tie, but Colette had other ideas. She arrived at the opera in Lyon wearing deep wine-red heels plumed with green feathers, and by the first interval half the lobby wanted to know where she had found them. She only smiled and said, “Paris, of course.” Later, dancing on the terrace beneath strings of lights, she kicked off neither shoe, which was saying something.
Shaped as a maroon shoe trimmed with green feathers and finished with a jeweled embellishment, this piece has all that same theatrical confidence. It is perfect for the friend whose closet is a gallery, the shoe collector with a whole shelf of tiny heels, or the woman who believes every party deserves a showstopper. Display it on a vanity beside an evening bag, in a glass cabinet with other fashion pieces, or on a bedroom bookshelf where it can catch the lamplight. The rich maroon and vivid green make a striking, jewel-box pairing.
