Marni Stiletto's - Fierce Kick Ass!
Found this pair of fierce Marni stiletto’s languishing at the Wildlife Thrift Store at the corner of Drake and Granville in downtown Vancouver. They were holding their own against the Franco Sarto platforms and few pairs of Marciano slingbacks. Though we are so not keen on their maker’s love of fur but we won’t hold that against this pair! “Upbeat,” “joyful,” and “artsy” come to mind when describing Marni, the Italian label that has been designed by Consuelo Castiglioni since it was launched in 1994. Marni stemmed from Castiglioni’s husband’s family fur business and is still very much a family company, with husband Gianni running the brand as CEO and daughter Carolina operating the online store. The line is known for quirky, feminine combinations of bright colors, bold graphic patterns, elaborate fantasy prints, and natural textures, including many furs. The result is an offbeat, funky aesthetic that remains elegant and wearable. It’s a look that can be carried off by a broad age spectrum of women. If art teachers were chic and rich, they’d probably wear Marni. - Credit NYMag.com
