gucci shoes.jpg Alice Pope found a criminal pair of shoes at Nine West this weekend, and not just because they’re tacky:


The Olavera shoes they’re selling for $89 are a broken version of Gucci’s Sevigny sandal, also out this season.

Of course, the Sevigny shoes have some odd properties of their own, most notably their name -

Doesn’t Gucci know that Drew Barrymore is their celebrity face, while Chloe Sevigny poses for rival brand Chloe?

Also, we’re not sure Chloe would ever wear these things, except maybe in a deleted scene of The Last Days of Disco… and certainly not for $725, their current price in boutiques.

And on that note, we’re out for President’s Day.

Is there really anything new about this? Designers have been knocking each other off for years!! I can tell the similarities with the design of the shoe, but do they expect EVERYONE to spend $725 just for that shoe?

Both are ugly and probably made by enslaved children, whatever.
