  1. Chloe Sevigny Wears Bass Classic 50s Saddle Shoes
    If there’s any shoe that can singularly define the 50s, it would be the saddle shoe.

  2. Oxford and Derby Shoes Have Got Hollywood Wrapped Around Their Laces
    We’ve already featured quite a number of men’s-adapted-by-women lace-up shoes here on Retrovintageshoes (such as the saddle shoe and the spectator), but the men’s shoe turned women’s shoe that’s really having its moment in the spotlight right now is the oxford / derby. No less than the hottest and brightest female stars of the young Hollywood [...]
  3. What Shoes Would you Wear with Marion Cotillard’s Red Dress?
    For some reason, no matter how hard I look, I can’t seem to find clear pictures of what shoes Marion Cotillard wore with this red dress: May 18, 2010 – Marion Cotillard arrives at the Le Grand Journal Studio for her guest appearance These pictures were taken outside the Le Grand journal  studio, right before Marion Cotillard’s [...]
]]> While every other celebrity was going for the hippie, bohemian, boho chic look at the 2010 Coachella Music Festival, Kelly Osbourne took a completely different route and went… well, I don’t really know where she went:

She went 60s for her floral minidress, 80s for her shiny quilted Chanel bag, 50s for her saddle shoes, and the current year 2010 for her long cardigan. In other words, her outfit was all over the place with all the different inspirations taken from different eras.

I applaud Kelly for her efforts to try something completely different from everyone else at Coachella but honestly, this really confuses me.  I wish she at least did something to her hair to make it look less grandma-ish and the dress, though pretty, is a bit too stuffy and formal-looking for an event like Coachella.

Mixing and matching trends from other time periods is very tricky and should really only be done one or two pieces at a time. But I don’t think Kelly Osbourne really cares about that right now though because she recently just lost a lot of weight and looks very happy with her fiancé of one year, model Luke Worrall.

If I were to take one trend from Kelly Osbourne’s outfit, it would be her 50s saddle shoes of course:

Kelly Osbourne and her 50s saddle shoes

I haven’t verified it yet, but these look very much like the Bass Women’s Enfield shoes that we also saw on Chloe Sevigny before. Chloe Sevigny wore hers with a leather jacket and jeans, which made her saddle shoes look cool and modern.

Do you prefer Kelly Osbourne’s style or Chloe Sevigny’s style with the saddle shoes?

Purchase the Bass Women’s Enfield saddle shoes for $65.00 at Shoes.com.

  3. Bass Weejun Penny Loafers Then and Now

Defined by the contrasting colors of the shoe’s saddle (usually black or dark-colored) from its heel and toe (usually white or light-colored), the 50s saddle shoe has since evolved and is now considered an all-american symbol, along with blue jeans, baseball, and apple pie.

Shoemaker G.H. Bass & Co. recognizes the symbolic status of the saddle shoe. The Bass Einfeld saddle shoe stays true to the original 50s design, down to the rounded shape and perforated leather trim along the edges:

A lot of women have adapted the similar oxford shoe trend, but we expect no less than fashion savant Chloe Sevigny to take the trickier-to-pull-off saddle shoe style and wear it so effortlessly:

Miss Sevigny has even gone as far as collaborating with G.H. Bass & Co. and designing a saddle-shoe-inspired footwear collection for Opening Ceremony.

The saddle shoe Chloe Sevigny is wearing is available on Shoes.com. The Bass Einfeld saddle shoes retail for $65.
