Taxidermy Fashion


Designer Bruno Frisoni presents a pair of shoes that will set you back $43,000!
The Dovima, as the shoe is known, is beautiful (and slightly creepy) thanks to the rose pink-dyed taxidermy birds perched delicately on each toe. Each stuffed bird also has a crystal-encrusted head and is further complemented by 24 ct gold-coated mesh, silk, ribbons, and crocodile-skin rosettes. Plus every pair comes with special protective crocodile or snakeskin platforms that attach before you wear them to keep the shoes from ever touching the ground.

The name is a double pun "Dovima" was the stage name of the first supermodel, an impossibly elegant looking woman. Google "Dovima and the elephants" to see her most famous image.

What in the world were they smoking. I want to know what the thought process is to come up with something like this? "hey, I have a fantastic idea, lets put dead birds on shoes and charge more than a car for them"

Christ.

Get me a pellet gun, some payless heels, a little glitter, and some glue, and I'll make you a pair for $2.50.

Ray- would've gone over better if you mentioned, like, a dodo or a velociraptor
