Modern Made Vintage: 3 Trendy Shoes Turned Old-Fashioned

by Erika

Sometimes, a shoe can be as modern as a peeptoe platform yet still look retro or vintage. In the case of these shoes, all it took was adding a flower to give them an old world feel.

Here are 3 pairs of shoes with very now silhouettes made old-fashioned simply by attaching flower details:

Bordello Camille 01 – This is the extreme wedge trend toned down by a satin flower and a satin fabric finish. The effect is an elegant and interesting shoe that can be worn on special occasions and even on casual days if the detachable flower is removed. $54.95.

Vince Camuto Sarita – We usually see the high heel peep toe boot embellished with studs, chains and other rock elements, so the stitched/etched flower on the side of these Vince Camuto Saritas is a refreshing detail. It still looks trendy yet intriguingly very classic for a peep toe boot. $129.95.

BCBG Max Azria Ceetaly 2 – It’s a rockin’ platform bootie, with a 4 inch-high stacked heel and edgy zipper hardware. But add that spiraled flower and the whole shoe suddenly looks sassy but sweet. $349.95.

We commonly see modern adaptations of actual retro or vintage shoes, so it’s nice to see it done the other way around this time.
