Holiday Theatrics: Flirty Striped Pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti

by Karla Manlangit

We kick off December with gift ideas themed with retro and vintage elements that will enrapture anyone on the receiving end of this deal. Today, we choose to be a little burlesque in our theme, inspired by a towering pump from master shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti.

Striped Sling Back Pumps, $750, Giuseppe Zanotti

This sling back pump is initially dramatic, with thick, black and white stripes spanning its canvas part. The risqué elements come as the leopard print piping and black leather trim. Of course, the theatrics of burlesque shows in the over 5 inches high, snake-embossed, leather-covered stiletto heel. Giuseppe Zanotti gives us an absolutely good, racy show.

We take tips from Zanotti’s sexy theme and found items of the sparkly and flirtatious kind from Shopbop‘s holiday gift boutique. Check them out!
