Designers find inspiration in the darnedest places! Prada, the quintessentially Italian fashion house has found an unlikely muse in the All-American vintage Cadillac for their new collection of spring shoes.
As described in The New York Post, "The shoes, including several different examples of pumps, sandals and wedges, are pure greased lightning. Sky-high stilettos feature a red, bullet-shaped tail light. A wedge is tricked out with exhaust-pipe flames shooting out the back. A third style has a wedge shaped like a tail fin of a vintage Cadillac. The collection of strappy, high-heeled shoes comes in hot-rod red and racing green with a shiny car-paint finish, and jeweled brooches on the front instead of hood ornaments."
Costing up to $1450 a pair (wow!), these wearable hot rods won't hit the stores until this spring.
What do you think: fierce or fuhgeddaboudit?
