WE LUST THIS: VERRüCKTE SCHUHE

Trippen is a German shoe company that crafts their footwear in a small factory on the outskirts of Berlin and chooses not advertise

germany-  the shoes, designed by Michael Oehler & Angelika Spieth, are made from naturally tanned leather, because they are all so interesting to look at. if black is not your thing, they offer a selection of other colored leather your pair can be made in, like wine, pink, and gray. ok these shoes give me everything i want a need... i love the different kinds of leathers they use,,, and the very blunt or geometric cuts on footwear...these shoes are one breath of fresh air for seeing shoes. these shoes are mainly worn in japan but i can definetly could see any kind of man in new york wearing these.. shoe #1  is very east village. shoe #2  (wedge) gives you a west village moment. shoe #3 is ephermal i really cant with that one, it gives me very williamsburg. the other tree pair i could see anywhere for the trendy guys in midtown or the upper west side. if you want to see the future of mens shoes, i say trippen is pushing the envelope

WE LUST THIS: ZAHA HADID AND VIVIENNE WESTWOOD FOR MELISSA

Two iconic British women team up with the equally iconic Brazilian label to design their own versions of Melissa shoes.

sao paulo, london - In the laundry list of mundande things that mystify me plastic reigns supreme. Particularly what Brazillian based shoe label, Melissa, has managed to do with the material. Since launching in 1979 they've manipulated rubber, very plentiful in Brazil, into a dazzling array of fashion forward footwear. In the past, Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Muglier, and Alexandre Herchcovitch have all debuted special edition versions of the fantastic plastic shoes. Every bit as comparable to the awesome work they did are their latest designer collabos: Zaha Hadid and Vivienne Westwood. Hadid, the iconic British/Iranian architect and Westwood, the iconic British designer/bon vivant have both debuted their own Melissa collections. Hadid's is as you would expect: all sleek and sensual and dark (much like the writer of this post perhaps?). Westwoods take on the classic Mary Jane is also as one would expect: quirky, whimsical and chic. Hadid's retails for $220, while Westwood's will set you back $160. Log on to www.melissaplasticdreams.com to find where you can buy these.

ROBERTO CAVALLI SEEN WITH ANOTHER WOMAN

 

Scandalous! With the rumors of a split from his second wife, the designer is snapped yesterday laying under the sun with an unnamed woman. 50 Cent's P.I.M.P song plays on. 

 

   

 

  

italy - just give me a second here to stop staring at the second image. it's a little creepy, yes? okay now that i've move on from it. here is designer roberto cavalli yesterday on a yacht in ponza, italy with a woman who is only identified as a "russian model."  (well there goes my "nah it could be his daughter" theory.) there has been rumors circulating that cavalli has split with his second wife of 28 years, eva cavalli, and seeing these photos of the designer getting his mack on with another woman just adds more fuel to the fire. eva, however, is also roberto's business partner, but if the rumors are true it appears to have no affect with their work relationship as the two recently walked on the runway for a bow together in june. kudos for them for keeping it civil. well, then, with that said i leave you more photos of this sexy pimp, er, i mean designer.
