Harlequin

"Harlequin" by Cesare Paciotti

At first glance, this number is a little hard to take in, but I have to say that it has grown on me. I started examining this and trying to find out exactly why I didn't like this shoe... when I realized: all of the reasons I don't like it, are the very reasons that I do like it. The color patchwork, for example, is strangely asymmetric and at first it kind of bothered me. But then, after a closer look at the rest of the shoe, I started paying more attention to its quirky attributes like the platform. The "double" aspect is mirrored not only in the platform, but in the heel as well. There is a marked separation from each "double's" layer. With the platform, it's a sole-like material, and with the heel, the separation is marked by the color pattern.
This shoe definitely takes time to grow on you, but it's one of those shoes that becomes one of your favorites once it does. The "Harlequin" is best paired with a vibrant personality and lots of confidence. But good luck purchasing it... "Harlequin" retails at $800!
