    What an amazing pair of shoes!

  2. kiki machine Says:

    half baked, confused and a few seasons late in terms of riding the trends (gladiators, in this case). that’s what these shoes are! Tisci tried a little bit too hard here. these pair looks like they were made by some punk kid from the shadier side of my city. i was expecting more from the House Givenchy…

    House of Givenchy rather…

  4. Charm Says:

    Not entirely sure I like them. The idea sounds better than the actual result, me thinks.

  5. Amy Williams Says:

    I just might have to admit – these are the most amazing shoes I have ever seen. I want those more than all of the “it-heels” together.
    Real innovativity!

    Absolutely to die for. Dandyish, elegant, punk, rebellious, challenging, fashion, classic, timeless all in one pair.

    Kiki, i think that was the point when you say “these pair looks like they were made by some punk kid from the shadier side of my city.”did you see the mens collection? those shoes, while not perfect for everyone, are divine.

    What.. the hell. It’s like those mythological creatures that are part horse part man part lion part eagle… Insanity. Holy crap.

  13. P.Batgirl Says:

    Do you think a girl could pull those off~~?

  14. kiki machine Says:

    thanks for the word up Fashionwhore. actually, i think the concept and the execution of the WHOLE collection was superb considering it’s Tisci’s debut (or am i mistaken?) for menswear. when i said “made by some punk kid from the shadier side of my city”, i didn’t mean it in a negative way coz some of those punks are my friends and they are quite creative and talented and some of them have actually styled their own boots better than these pair. i guess it’s the “shock of familiarity”. and please take note that i didn’t actually say that this “hybrid” boots are bad. i just said i was expecting more. Tisci is really good at what he’s doing now and am sure he will only get better after this collection. the best thing about these shoes is that it’s generating discussion and awareness.

    Hmmm… funny-looking design. Not really my thing and I’m not getting used to it because I don’t want to.

    Oh those are just too good.

    prob a bit late with this response but i was just looking over ur comments about who the wearer is. i can tell you his name is Panos Yiapanis and he styles the Givenchy show. He is also a very prolific stylist been around for 10 years
