It’s funny, but one of my favorite scenes of Unzipped
Attached to that shoe was Miss André Leon Talley. I can’t remember the rest of the scene, I believe he and Mizrahi and possibly John Galliano sit around a small room in Paris getting their tarot cards read, and at one point they discuss how Donna Karan would kill for a swatch of the wallpaper in the bathroom, but that slow, tight pan up the length of the foot rocked my sartorial world.
What’s funny though, is that I only realized it this morning, nearly 15 years after I first saw the film.
I have a slight obsession with zebra shoes. Always have.
Not this type:
Although you’d be sadly mistaken to think I didn’t at one point have a pair of platform boots with that self-same plastic aquarium complete with goldfish AND glitter.
But give me something like these and I am All. Over. It.:
It STILL kills me the zebra was out of stock, although I very much love the oxblood and ivory pair
Generally speaking, I prefer my animal prints in calf or pony hair (pony hair is still calf, but I think the treatment is slightly different) but when I was bopping around Amazon last night looking for flats, I found these:
Zebra-print rain skimmers from Barefoot Tess
I ordered mine last night and will give a full report when they arrive.
“although come to think of it I really should’ve worn LaCroix.”
Hah!

I can’t be the only person out there who watches “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” for Antonio Fargas’s shoes.
