Giuseppe Zanotti is one of my top five favorite shoe designers. I remember reading an interview that he gave about three years ago when he stated, “The woman who wears my shoes does not care about looking good for others — she wants to look good for herself … a woman who has intelligence.” After reading the interview, I would like to think that I understood the great mind of Giuseppe Zanotti a little better. I put down that article thinking that maybe one of the keys to his success is the combination of his tremendous artistic talent mixed with his respect for women.  The marriage of those two capabilities results in gorgeous shoes.

Today’s Shoe of the Day is the Giuseppe Zanotti Knot Slide.  This shade of purple is fit for royalty.  The luscious knot almost looks like a bow made for regal feet.  This shoe is made of satin and is made in Italy.

Andy Warhol’s art plundered and celebrated popular culture and popular images throughout the world. By the late 1970s, his visual idiom was known, in its own right, throughout the world. The Warhol look had itself become part of popular culture, as recognizable as Coca-Cola. It was therefore only natural that Warhol should turn, at this point of his intensely successful career, to his own images as sources for his work. And of these, perhaps his Marilyns were the best known Warhol pictures. These works had gained him notoriety and had entered the cultural ether in a revolutionary and complete way that almost no art had managed before it.

Rather than merely revisit his own older work, Warhol created a new visual idiom in order to reincarnate, to rebottle, his classic theme: the negative image. The ‘Reversal Series’ introduces an aesthetic that pulses with electricity. In Nine Multicoloured Marilyns (Reversal Series), Warhol sets Marilyn on a black background, with her features captured in livid, lurid, ever-changing colours. The face thus mysteriously emerges in psychedelic negative. Warhol presents us with a Marilyn for the Disco era.

In Nine Multicoloured Marilyns, she emerges from the darkness like some disco ectoplasm, a conjured spirit dancing before our eyes. Here we see, committed to silkscreen, a new proof– a strange revival– of Warhol’s maxim that, ‘Death can really make you look like a star’.

Christie’s is auctioning off Nine Multicoloured Marilyns today and it is expected to sell for $4,962,503 – $6,947,505.

Who wouldn’t love to own a pair of Gucci sunglasses?  They are the epitome of style.  These Gucci Shield Sunglasses are adorned with Havana (tortoise)/goldtone frames and brown gradient lenses. I’ve never been much of a fan of gradient lenses, in the past. Usually, they end up looking too cheesy for my tastes. However, the gradient lenses work on these Gucci sunglasses.

Why have art only indoors?  These outdoor sculpures are also vases.  I love duel-purpose items! These modern vases are carved of resin with a patina wash are available in two styles: the legendary queen of Camelot and the goddess of marriage. I like that these modern sculptures are beautiful, but almost have a cold, stone look to them, contrasted with the fact that the vases at the tops have lush, green plants spilling out of them.
