WONDERFUL ALICE!!!!


Alice In Wonderland inspired shoes by NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD

Okay so Everyone should know the plot of the childhood story of Alice In Wonderland, well this story has a twisted plot from the sick and creative mind of direction Tim Burton. He depicts the movie in 3-D and with a 19-year-old Alice that returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror. Well that's it in a nutshell because it comes out tomorrow with some theaters offering midnight showings. I'm excited and cant wait to see the movie, I Love Fairy tales...Hell I live in one. But back to these Beautiful art deco created 2010 shoes, They will be showcased in Printemps, the delish Parisian store. They have also asked varying designers (including Christopher Kane, Margiela etc) to create a custom piece for lucky Alice. Nicholas Kirkwood, known for his fabulous & epic shoes, (designed those sick nuts and bolts shoes) The design is delightfully fantastical! They are all about escapism, which the beloved Alice in Wonderland story is all about, Right!!! Apparently the shoes are inspired by the White Rabbit. I adore his sketch in image one. The design as shown in second image shows that the shoes are bedecked with teacups, a pocket watch, a large key etc. Alice would most definitely approve, don’t you think?
To see those dreamy shoes and all the other designs commissioned by Printemps, visit their Boulevard Haussman store. The pieces are on display there from 1st February to 13th March. For We Can Only Dream!
