{shoes, shoes, shoes}

. . . the last pair of shoes featured created quite a stir, and while they may not be origami-inspired louboutins, these equestrian-inspired lanvin beige double platform mary janes with white toe-caps and ankle straps are pure summer sexiness . . .

{photographer: paolo roversi}

. . . a long-standing love affair with italian-born fashion photographer paolo roversi's work, and even more so when it includes russian model natalia vodianova and lanvin's spring collection -- sometimes painterly, oftentimes ethereal, roversi's images are always magical . . .

{p.s.} more work:
* ladies in waiting
* audrey marnay
* freja beha erichsen
* irina lazareanu & du juan
* hermès spring/summer 2010
* gemma + sequins
