SHOE PORN THURSDAY: Aleksander Siradekian

Aleksander Siradekian: The man, himself.

Aleksander Siradekian is a new shoe designer that’s managed to keep a low profile until now. The brand’s signature heel is recognizable by a unicorn-like flowing fringe off the back of the heel. Every year, the Russian designer’s beautiful, feminine heels are shown at Paris Fashion Week. I recently stumbled across these red and black houndstooth stilettos, and am absolutely smitten. Wear these to a holiday party with a LBD or with an A-line mini-skirt and tights.
