Finally! I have been waiting for the Nicholas Kirkwood fall 2009 shoes forever. I always love his shoes because they are incredibly interesting and unique designs. This patent leather shoe isn't even my favorite from the collection, but I do love it. It features his signature fanned out sides, architectural heel and platform. The shoe is mostly black patent leather, with matte leather detail at the front and snakeskin embossed leather piping. This is a great shoe to go with anything from a dress to slightly distressed jeans (not to be mistaken for acid wash monstrosities). They have a 5.5 inch heel and a 1 inch platform. Available at Browns, $882.
