Take a big shoebox, $1,000, add a serious dose of economic crisis, warholic inspiration, red soles and you get? Christian Louboutin Barneys Trash Shoes! (oh, your change – $5!)
Not to be taken lightly, the Trash Shoes top any Pamela Anderson-Vivienne Westwood coop, it’s the ultimate pop declaration you could ever make! Sky high stilettos, iconic Louboutins red soles, all that glitter and selected materials, each shoe is unique and you can find it chez Barneys NY. Derelictious, aren’t they? (the story continues right after the jump!)
(note for the true crisis budget fashionista: there’s no harm in painting your soles red with nail polish, just like Louboutin originally did and glue pieces of magazines/newspapers on your favorite pumps/slingback! Add some glitter to the soup and you can wear your own trash!) (via)

I like them, they are trashtastic!
: )
Are they working the eco-conscious angle on these outrageously-priced shoes, perchance?
Sal, I do often agree with your remarks!
I dont care if they’re Louboutins – they look quite cheap and unsophisticated.
they’re totally aristic and hot!
[...] And hot off the press, this absolutely divine pair of Christian Louboutin Trash Shoe is being sold exclusively at Barneys New York. Each shoe is one-of-a-kind design, using a unique selection of Barneys’ materials, the “trash” shoe is put together tastefully and features a 140mm thin covered heel with signature red leather sole. The couture trash peep toe pump retail for $995 (stylefrizz). [...]
does anyone know the photographer for this series?
I quite love them, just because they are so 90s and straight out of the costume department from (the original) Absolutely Fabulous! They remind me of 90s bad taste Moschino, Lacroix, Gaultier.. (the ones in the ad at least – the ones in the second pic are a bit more tasteful).
