While other designers create punk accessories of black leather and metal, “the queen of punk” Vivienne Westwood, by contrast, has fallen into romance. Consider, for example, these boots – I think they are great and wildly feminine.
Vivienne Westwood joined three different textures at the same time – matte leather, patent leather and suede, combining them with amazingly beautiful, dramatic color – a shade of red wine.
Bootleg of boots is made out of Suede, tied together with a few narrow straps (for the manufacture of which matte leather was chosen) with metal buckles from a light metal. Cape – with cutout for the fingers – is made of smooth, lacquered leather.

Boots have no fasteners – the fit to the leg is adjusted by means of the very straps with buckles, the heel is low but very elegant. In general, this couple looks stylish, elegant, romantic and very attractive.

It is clear, boots are not designed for cold weather (and are even deprived of the lining), but as a supplement to the bohemian evening attire they will be much better. You can supplement by them, for example, a black asymmetrical dress in the vein of Vivienne Westwood – or beat a glamorous denim set.
To  purchase this pair is possible for $ 902. There is also an option made in black color.

Vivienne Isabel Svayr was born in 1941 in Derbyshire, which was famous for its mineral springs of Matlock resort, with mountain area Peak, the valley Davdeyl  a place of pilgrimage for artists whose creations and then had a chance to be exhibited in the famous art gallery of Chetsuort town located in the North of the county. But the small homeland of Vivienne was not these giving inspiration places but the industrial Glossop, with its cloth, paper, cotton mills and ironworks.

In 1957 Svayr family moved to London, where she studied one semester at an art school, then at a teachers’ college, started a peaceful profession of a teacher of junior classes, with the name of Westwood with the son of Benjamin Arthur and the prospects corresponding to her education and position. In 1965, when the meeting with Malcolm McLaren did not take place, which served as a starting point in her creative way to the title- nickname “Queen of the scandal”. Malcolm, the ideological mastermind of the Sex Pistols group, awakened interest in design in her. No, Vivian did not become a pioneer of punk style, but became its setter. The first shop she opened in 1971, and in the early 80’s won the catwalk with her outrageous collections, where the models were daubed with paint and their hair were smeared with  mud.

In 1985, Westwood turns sharply to the throne style, with her light arms shoes with crazy platform come into fashion. She said that “she puts a woman on a pedestal, in the literal sense of the word.” It is Westwood that introduced shoes on the platform with height up to 20 cm (at least, so says the author of the book”Shoes» (Shoes), 1996, Linda O’Keeffe). One such laced shoe from the collection are “Anglomania” (Fall-Winter ‘93) of indigo color, and later being exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum, caused the fall of Naomi Campbell during the show. Queen Elizabeth, known lover of boat- shoes that once visited exposition murmured, looking at the fruits of imagination of Westwood: “It is no wonder that she fell.”

Shoes from Westwood are a mixture of tradition and fetishes, eccentricity and eclecticism. For example, Gills are taken as a basis –these are laced ballet flats, which are performed by Scottish Highland Dancing and are combined with the platform.

The first shoes – on thin high heels, with leopard prints like the fashion of 50-ies – were created in collaboration with McLaren. Her own label was founded in 1980 and up tol 1988  Westwood represented new models in each of her collections until her recognizable style was not developed. Vivienne Westwood shoes are handmade, sewn in London’s East End.

On March 4, 2008 at the auction house Christie’s in London took place an unusual auction . Collections of 1910-1990-ies were gone out from the hammer. In the auction of 20th Century Fashion & Accessories total of 224 lots were displayed. One of the major rarities is a pair of white boots with metal buckles. They were part of a grand Seditionaries Collection, established in 1977, Vivienne Westwood and her husband, Malcolm McLaren.
