SHOE PORN THURSDAY: Philipp Plein

Posted on June 2, 2016 by Trends & Tribulations

Philipp Plein has had an interesting start. While studying law in Germany, he began to design furniture, and soon caught the attention of interior designers. In 1998, his company was founded, of which he focused on interiors, and in 2004, the fashion brand was born, consisting of clothing and accessories.

These heels, uniquely called “Feed Me“, flaunt the namesake’s signature aesthetic: Bold, sexy, and very rock’n’roll. Style them with faded black skinny jeans, a t-shirt and blazer for a refined punk-rocker look, à la Kate Moss or Angelina Jolie‎.

Philipp Plein ‘Feed Me’ pumps, $1,371.63

What are your thoughts on these heels? Would you wear them?
