Sexy Victoriana - a list by Gamine

Options for This Page

About this list:

Primly sexy and demurely naughty. The Victorian Age for 21st century sensibilities seems to have taken hold of the imaginations of shoe designers. Spring 2008 brings us many oxfords and booties, with cut-outs galore.

Ash 'Basil' Pump

First to recommend

Description

This shoe is a part of Nordstrom's "Spring Spectators" collection and you certainly will be a sight in these patent oxfords with a gold inset at the heel and four sexy cut-outs!

Ralph Lauren Collection "Adley" Peeptoe Oxford - Pumps

First to recommend

Description

This is the oxford that is all things to all women (and it should be considering what you pay for it). It looks like a pump, but it has laces like an oxford. It has plenty of cut-outs to keep you cool during the warmer months, but enough leather to pull off pairing with dark opaque tights for the cooler months. The timeless spectator styling will stand you in good stead for years.

Prada Victorian Pump at Barneys New York

Description

Prada does a wonderful job of simultaneously acknowledging the Victorian Era and bringing these shoes into the present day. They also bring the pain (customary for Victorian ladies) with a 4.3 inch heel and a tremendous price tag.

Kilt Fringe Heels

First to recommend

Description

From Anthropologie:
"Ecru leather lends sophiscticcation to this playful menswear pair, reminiscent of playing the back nine at St. Andrews"

Maybe that means these shoes will help you pick up a caddy or a golf instructor. I can find no other interest in golfing than that.

Caliente Heels

First to recommend

Description

These shoes may not show as much skin as some of the others, but they make up for that with brazen color. These metallic red oxfords make it clear that you're no prude!

Fendi black patent leather peep-toe booties

First to recommend

Description

I don't think I would've liked this shoe if it only had the peep-toe. The cut-outs on the side really add to the appeal. The stacked cone heel make it modern and who can resist a nice glossy patent leather.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label Patent leather shoes

First to recommend

Description

Remember the Merchant-Ivory film "A Room With A View?" Patent moc croc oxfords = Lucy Honeychurch gone S&M. Leave it to Vivienne Westwood to work out that equation!

LD Tuttle The Suit Open Toe Oxford Pump

Description

This naughty oxford features a unique cut-out and a zipper at its backside. I guess that's for easy access.
