Heel-Tap Lizard Shoes

These shoes are from the A/W 2012 collection 'UTOPIA'. Like Utopia, the A/W 2012 collection is inspired by the alluring dream of a place, where everything radiates perfection. "In my perfect world stiffness is forbidden and unique expression is encouraged. Sterile perfection and still harmony are not interesting - they don't touch, tease or tempt. It is the variety of colours, personality and contrasts that make life beautiful. My collection is for women who wish to forget the over-seriousness and be adventurous. Because you never know where a pair of my shoes will take you." - Minna Parikka. UTOPIA is a strong collection of daring shapes, vivid colours and material combinations fused with the crucial element of playfulness. From the bunny ears on the Angora pump to the sleek feline shape of Pfeiffer, the personality of each shoe bursts with meticulously tailored details. Since 2006, Minna Parikka's shoes and accessories have graced the feet and bodies of women all over the world, with celebrity fans including the likes of Lady Gaga, Fergie, Beth Ditto, Dita von Teese and Paloma Faith. Parikka's playful designs have also been featured in publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Tatler and Grazia and praised by fashion editors and stylists alike.
