Giambattista Valli

These over-the-top sky-high platform heels were part of Giambattista Valli‘s Spring 2008 collection and even though Spring 2008 is like a million years ago in the fashion universe I still can’t get over them. In fact, they were one of my first shoe obsessions ever. One of the things that got me interested in fashion in the first place – beyond the ocassional shopping spree in the mall or a random page flip through Vogue. Some say these heels look hooker-ish, to me – they are perfect. The embodiment of art and fashion with a hint of craziness.

Shiekh "Persia-01" Platform Heels

What I love about these platform heels by Shiekh is that they’ve kept the extreme proportions of the original Vallis and didn’t tone it down to make them more appealing to the masses. Yes, the platform isn’t quite as high, but that’s barely noticeable. So gorgeous, affordable & available in white/pink (pictured), black/pink, beige/yellow and grey/black.

At the 2009 SAG Awards in January, Amy Adams looked stunning wearing a merlot strapless corset gown by Giambattista Valli. The dress had a large ruffle detail on the bodice and I absolutely loved the contrast between the dress, Amy’s red hair, her pale complexion and her bold red lips. No one does red carpet glamour better than Amy.

Back in April when the lovely Zoe Saldana was busy promoting the new Star Trek movie, she attended the Paris photocall looking very chic and elegant in a grey Giambattista Valli knitted dress which she paired with gorgeous Fendi platform heels. Such a great look for the understated fashionista!
