Real vs. Steal – Azzedine Alaïa Sandals

by Irina on May 30, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 30, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

If I could spend thousands of dollars on shoes, I’d definitely buy a pair of Azzedine Alaïa heels. His shoes are always fierce and edgy and you can see that his designs involve a lot of craftsmanship. The sandals below belong to my Alaïa favorites. They are sold out for quite some time now, but they used to retail for as much as £515 which is way out of many people’s shoe budget – including mine.

Azzedine Alaïa shoes are pretty popular among fashion insiders. Anna Dello Russo, the edgy fashion editor, and fashion-loving socialite Tinsley Mortimer both have rocked this sandal style.
