>> I fully credit this post to the only type of maths that my non-numerical brain can handle and that is Fashematics but having seen these knock about in Manchester's Gallery of Costume this weekend, it had to be done…
Alexander McQueen's kid leather western mules that are cited as being ca. 2005-7 and having searched through the seasons, I can't quite pinpoint exactly when these fairly uncharacteristic McQueen specimens popped up…
Turkish/Middle Eastern curly toed slippers or to put it in naive terms… Aladdin's shoes…
Early 18th century mule specimens…
(1740s mule, Baroque ladies mules from France ca. 1690-1720)
Miu Miu's S/S 12 hybrid mules that stormed out to Ivor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring score…

Something weirdly attractive about these. I wouldn’t normally like them, but the colours and shape do something to me!!
There were similar ones at Thakoon.
I want a pair of thoose shooes, are georgeous!!!

haha I love them. So strange, I was recently looking up 18th century shoes (think the ones pictured) and thinking how awesome it would be to have a pair. They do not look comfortable though. “Taxi”.
I love this visual array — and have a really soft spot for the Arabian and Baroque footwear — summing up to Miu Miu’s slippers. Interesting that it burst out of Stravinsky’s score. But then, the Rite of Spring always makes me do strange things too!

I’m sure they’re much more attractive in person, like all well made things. But i’m not being drawn towards them!
Very nice shoes, want to buy give the person I love.
hey, nice shots, but those are not really turkish.
Very cute, I like it…that’s math I understand 🙂

How I love shoes! Got the gibbled feet to prove it. No way would my feet let me wear any of the ones in the photos, but hey, what’s that got to do with something so lovely and exciting?!
They’re beautiful.Thanks for posting.
We have something similar to the ‘Alladin shoes’ in Jaipur, India called Mojaris.
Check it out:

I love the Gallery of Costume and notice something different every time I visit (I only live up the road so it’s not a long journey). Those shoes caught my eye on my last visit!
terrible fake tan lines in one of those pics hahaha
Absolutely Adorable! It is time to stand out from the crowd!

Where can we such kind of shoes? I bet it’s a native shoes of a particular country.
