The 2009 Resort runway presentation for Chanel took place last week in Miami, and one of the most talked about items coming from the show were these the pistol-heeled shoes a few models had to strut in. Designers have been becoming more innovative with footwear lately and I love it!
Designer Karl Lagerfeld was inspired by an image of a gun he saw somewhere, and gave the image to Chanel’s shoe designer Laurence Decade, who used plexi to make the “Miami Vice” shoe. Ladies would you rock it?
And speaking of outrageous designer items – check this new Diorphone priced at $3,500! French luxury brand Christian Dior partnered with phone design company ModeLabs, to release a line of mobile phones, which include a miniature version (My Dior) that women can clip their purse or wear on a pendant (sOURCE).
There is also said to be a “deluxe model studded with 640 diamonds, which comes with an alligator sheath, runs up to 18,000 euros, or about US$27,000″. Ummm yea, I need a phone to make me travel through time for that much!
Last year, I did a feature on Dimepiece Designs which you can check out here. The ladies of Dimepiece sent me a preview of their Summer 2008 collection, which you can find at their website or Cultist Shop.
Hell yea I’d rock it and I’d cock it! LOL
shoes are HORRIBLE and sends out NEGATYIVITy into the universe!!!!!
correction….NEGATIVITY!!!!!
I LOVE THOSE SUBWAY MAP LEGGINGS!!!!
THEY R FLYY.
DA DIOR SHOES IS HOTTT TOO!
But not as cute as the Marc Jacobs sideways heel shoe…im still waiting for a knock off of those..LOL
ooops….i meant CHANEL
I don’t like them.
I love that Dior phone! I don’t make green like that but if I did I would have bought that 400.00 dior wallet I seen in Saks!…LOL!!!!
I wouldn’t rock those shoes they just seem like their too breakable.
@ #48…why not choose a name that fits? lol….yea its funny how this country glamourizes vilonce and drugs especially in movies and television but yet when your a child your taught that it bads to do this and to stay away from that. But, what they dont tell you is once your older its okay to go the store and purchase cigz and its okay to watch cartoons or movies that glamourizes guns…now theyre tellin us its okay to make a fashion statement out of a weapon, what next? it want surprise me thats for sure.
I think the gun heels are absolutely dope. I would rock them–unfortunately I can see someone RUINING them the minute they wear them *coughsremymafoxybrownettilatequilaccoughs*. Obviously (as it shouldn’t have to be said at all..) its not every day wear, but i can see those on true fashion femmes.
The Dimepiece collection is rockable. I would LOVE to have those shoes the model is wearing (the ones paired with those yellow highway map pants). The ‘Dirty looks’ top is cute too!
I could see Rihanna rocking those gun shoes.
true 70…an when are we gonna get another post. i know CL has a life and all but a sistah’s trying to avoid working, lol
Phone is hot, shoes….not!
HEYYYYYYYY BOUGA!
Damn that girl is boney, her thighs don’t even touch.
I really don’t like those gun heeled shoes, its gaudy and tasteless.
as much crime that is already in the usa you have the nerve of coming out with a shoe gun please give me a break i guess anything to make money anybody that buys them is a fool
those are the coolest shoes that i’d never wear!!!
i’m such a shoe freak i’d probably keep them in a glass case or something…LOL
The only thing that looks nice is the heel-and that’s because their different. the rest of the shoe looks damn ugly
this whole post just screams WTF…shoes are hideous,the phone is effin outrageous,what does it do?clean your house,spit out 100 dollar bills??hell no
“Imagine those shoes with the gun were a rappers pendant it will be called violent but cool when some white ass designer puts it out there huh?”
THANK YOU!!
Plus,they are cheap looking.
“#8 doesn’t want to promote guns, but their name is “Pistol Pete” haha that is hilarious to me.”
I could be wrong,but I thought “Pistol Pete” refers to Pete Sampras one of the greatest tennis players ever.
i agree with you #75
“I’ll wear them!!!! As a matter of fact I want them. Its called fashion ppl. It’s like art….It doesn’t really have to make any since.”
I see your point,however they are still ugly IMO. Expensive/designer does not mean it looks good on you.
“I would have said Gwen Stefani, but she’s got her own very fly clothing line. I don’t think of her when I see other designer items anymore…”
That is what I like about Gwen. She actually wears her own stuff.
Man, I would rock those shoes. It’s something different and I’m def. loving those. Fuck that phone though. I’ll take a T-Mobile Sidekick II anyday. 3,000 for a phone that I might drop or lose? Are they serious? I would break or lose that phone and almost fall off the face of the Earth. It’s really not worth it. Loving Dimepiece too.
*two thumbs down to the shoes* although I can see them in the upcoming Bond movie then they would be hot….
#27 love the name I just need you to spell opinionated correctly…..
I love Karl. He’s a genius. BUT…I wouldn’t wear that shoe. Some things are just better off left on the runway.. feel me.
I would hate to think that when Karl asked for this shoe to be designed, he had “black” people in mind . . who the heck would wear a heel on their shoe that’s in the form of a gun . . .hmmmmm . . .certainly not “white folk”. . .possibly Black R&B/Rapper chicks? Cause the ordinary black working woman couldn’t afford to spend that type of money of a shoe.
I wouldn’t rock those shoes but they’re a nice collection piece I guess
nice way to promote violence!! through fashion!!
it seriously looks tacky
All of it is horrible.
I WANT THOSE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the real PISTOL GRIP PUMP (on my feet at all times )
Maybe my fashion sense is off, because I don’t like any of this. No thank you, I’ll pass.
But the phone is nice. And for that amount of money, It better do wonders and come with a personal Genie to grant me wishes every single time I use it.
not feeling the shoes. i wonder if there would be an uproar if a black designer had made these shoes. hmm
Those Dimepiece Red shoes look cute. I think I might waste my time coping those instead of those ugly Dior shoes. Looks like something you would see at a Marilyn Manson concert lol! No seriously… you see weird ish @ place like those! Also that Dior phone looks like an overpriced Razor… no thanks.
SHOES – horrible!! Phone – wasteful
i LOVE channel but these shoes are Fad fashion statement! i give it one season.. no way i would ever wear these. i can see stripper or ghetto whore wearing these… LOve you Channel!
I guess the knock-off pair will have a water gun heel. I think that was the stupidest idea ever.
WOW, There’s actually a black model on a CHANEL runway ?!?!?!
LOL. Ridiculous.
I think the shoes would’ve looked better if it was in another style. Either way, the sight of guns freak me out so I don’t want one on my shoe. On the other hand if someone saw u in them they can say “oooh she is killing them with those shoes on” LOL.
Dimepiece website isn’t working!
I love the gun shoes I’m gonna wait until there’s a cheaper version of the shoe out before I buy them lol.
tacky

uhh..can there be a new post already??
if i can walk in ‘em, i’m rockin’ ‘em. lol
I could def. see beyonce’ rockin those shoes!
Luv’em
#104, a cheaper version of that shoe is definitely not something you’d want. And, to #87, I really doubt he considered us when conceptualizing the shoe. That would be such a literal, tacky, and uninspiring thought…a stereotype?. I’ve read for years now that Chanel is trying to make itself over…younger, edgier… And, I think this idea was just Karl overthinking himself. Remember the brass knuckle heeled boots? Rihanna wore them…they were Dsquared. Well, I think Karl’s mind went there. But seeing them now they do have this very unattractive 70s look to them, no?
I think it’s interesting how people think these shoes are tight and all that but you know good and well if a black designer had come out with the same thing everybody would be up in arms.
Innovation is great Tianna but glamorising gun violence is not. GUNS KILL point blank. ‘allow this man.
THOSE SHOES ARE GOING TO GET SOMEBODY SHOT, IMAGINE GETTING PULLED OVER BY THE LAPD OR NYPD AND YOU STEP OUT OF THE CAR AND THE THEY JUST SEE THE GUN, THEY WILL THINK THAT YOU ARE PULLING A GUN OUT OF YOUR SHOE. I BET SOME FOOLS WILL BUY THESE SHOES-I ADMIT THESE SHOES ARE REALLY GOOD FOR MUSIC VIDEOS AND PHOTO SHOOTS-BUT THAT IS IT.
3,500 DOLLARS FOR A PHONE, JUST TO TALK, SMH. IF THE MONEY WENT TO CHARITY, I WOULD BUY IT, BUT OTHER THAN THAT HELL NAAA.
I want info on the shoes in the Dimepiece spot. Are they the designer’s own?
Those shoes are killer, seriously. lol
http://getwhitit.blogspot...om/2008/05/killin-em.html
Even if i was a millionaire i would’nt buy thie $hit. Too high. Not even cute.
I wonder how hard it would be going through the airport with those shoes on.
